What problem does it solve?
This skill helps AI agents decide when to seek user input and when to act autonomously, reducing unnecessary interruptions while preventing overconfidence in uncertain situations.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Decision framework: Evaluates context, stakes, and confidence to balance asking vs acting.
- Epistemic calibration integration: Aligns decisions with confidence estimates to improve reliability.
- Context-aware thresholds: Adapts ask/act behavior based on session type, user familiarity, and task criticality.
Quick Start
Provide a scenario and specify whether the agent should ask for clarification or proceed autonomously.
