ask_user

In one sentence

The AI isn’t flying solo—before ambiguous, irreversible, or high-risk steps, it stops and asks you via the ask_user tool.

Typical triggers

ScenarioWhy it must ask
Gerrit -2 (block merge)Irreversible; impacts others
Delete KB docs or wipe a KBIrreversible
Push internal code to an external repoCompliance
Ambiguous intent (“delete that doc”—which one?)Avoid mistakes
LLM confidence is lowDon’t hallucinate certainty

Why not let the LLM decide alone

An intentional human-in-the-loop gate—unsafe irreversible acts require confirmation. Platform rule, not skippable by a SKILL alone.

Working with SKILLs

Each SKILL declares explicitly which steps invoke ask_user—for example code-review SKILL may require confirmation before negative scores. The platform does not decide for the SKILL author—you set your own accountability boundary.
