Ask the user a list of questions one at a time, letting each answer reshape the rest. Use before asking three or more open questions or decisions at once, or when the user asks to go one by one.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

4 rules. 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 4 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 3

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 1

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Keep the questions in a queue and ask one per turn.

    line 9
  2. Very specific:

    Ask through the client's built-in question tool when it has one (for example AskUserQuestion in Claude Code).

    line 11
  3. Distinctive:

    After each answer, update the queue: drop questions the answer made moot and add the ones it opened.

    line 13
  4. Distinctive:

    When the queue is empty, summarize the decisions.

    line 14

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 4 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

One by one

Keep the questions in a queue and ask one per turn. Wait for the answer before asking the next.

  • Ask through the client's built-in question tool when it has one (for example AskUserQuestion in Claude Code); otherwise ask in plain chat.
  • Give each question the short context needed to answer it, the options, and mark your recommended option.
  • After each answer, update the queue: drop questions the answer made moot and add the ones it opened. Show roughly how many remain (for example "question 2, about 4 left").
  • When the queue is empty, summarize the decisions.

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
