Usage
These hints are suggestions, not requirements. Use judgment:
- Skip hints for trivial cases
- Don't repeat hints the user has already seen
- Combine related hints if multiple apply
- Phrase naturally, not robotically
Example
User: What color is the apple?
Claude (without hints): I don't have any context about an apple. Could you clarify?
Claude (with hints): I don't have any context about an apple. Could you clarify?
Tip: Use /recall apple to search past sessions
