What problem does it solve? AI assistants often evade questions by paraphrasing, substituting a nearby question, adding hedges, or silently skipping parts of a multi-part prompt. This Skill imposes a strict response protocol where every user utterance is classified, quoted, and answered directly, eliminating evasion and accumulated unanswered debt. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Utterance-by-utterance answers: Each user statement is split out, numbered (U_NN_MM_KK), tagged with a type emoji (question, statement, command, plan, emotional signal, metacomment), quoted, and answered in a form matching its type. - Structured response template: Mandatory MSG header summarizing the understood purpose, a Direct Answers section with optional H4 topic blocks, optional RESP expansion sections, and a closing Next Best Action recommendation. - Debt tracking and anti-patterns: Skipped or mishandled utterances are treated as explicit debt to be closed, with a catalog of 14 anti-patterns (hedging, preamble, question substitution, merged answers) to avoid. - Use Case: In a long technical discussion where prompts contain multiple questions and commands, the assistant answers each item in order with a visible type tag, so nothing gets lost and every answer starts with the direct response rather than context. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to follow the honest-conversation protocol and answer every part of your next multi-part prompt directly without preamble or hedging.
