System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This skill prevents misinterpreting user questions as hidden instructions, ensuring responses are literal and actions are not taken prematurely.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Literal-question handling: Always answer questions as asked, without inferring hidden intents.
  • Decision clarity: Reduces risk of misaligned actions when users challenge approaches or request assessments.
  • Use Case: When a user asks "Will that work?" or "Have you considered...?", respond with a direct analysis and ask for direction before acting.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to treat every user question as a literal query and provide a direct, honest answer, followed by a prompt for next steps.
