SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Promotes consistent, actionable AskUserQuestion prompts by enforcing a standardized 5-point structure, preventing ambiguity when users are away from the window or in time-constrained situations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces the five-part prompt structure: Re-ground, Simplify, Recommend, Options, and One decision per question.
  • Improves prompt clarity, calibration, and decision quality across long-running tasks and collaborative work.
  • Works with any AskUserQuestion call to deliver repeatable, inspectable prompts that are easy to review and iterate.

Quick Start

Provide an AskUserQuestion prompt following the 5-point structure for your current task.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure user prompts for long-running tasks to avoid ambiguity?

Structure user prompts for long-running tasks by enforcing a 5-point framework: Re-ground, Simplify, Recommend, Options, and One decision per question. This ensures calibration and precise option framing, preventing ambiguity when users are away from the screen.

What is the best way to clarify decision-making trade-offs in a structured prompt?

The best way to clarify decision-making trade-offs in a structured prompt is to apply a standardized five-part structure that explicitly frames options and provides recommendations, ensuring clear and inspectable input for each decision.

How do I standardize AskUserQuestion prompts for consistent, actionable responses?

Standardize AskUserQuestion prompts by enforcing a five-part structure that re-grounds the context, simplifies the query, recommends a path, lists options, and isolates one decision per question to deliver repeatable and actionable responses.

Can I use a structured prompt framework for away-from-screen situations?

Yes, you can use a structured prompt framework for away-from-screen situations. A standardized 5-point structure prevents ambiguity and ensures prompt calibration, allowing time-constrained users to make clear decisions without continuous window monitoring.

Why does my user prompting fail to produce clear decisions during collaborative work?

User prompting fails to produce clear decisions during collaborative work due to ambiguity and poor calibration. Applying a structured 5-point prompt format isolates one decision per question and explicitly frames options to improve decision quality.
