Decision helper to determine if PARA workflow should be used for a given request.
/para:check "Add user authentication to the API"
/para:check "Where is the auth middleware defined?"
Does this request require code/file changes?
├─ YES → USE PARA (Plan → Review → Execute → Summarize → Archive)
└─ NO → SKIP PARA
├─ About project code? → Direct answer with file references
└─ General question? → Standard response
Display a short verdict with reasoning:
PARA Workflow Check
Request: "Add user authentication to the API"
USE PARA WORKFLOW
Reason: This request requires code changes and file modifications.
Next: Run /para:plan to create an implementation plan.
For skip cases, replace with "SKIP PARA" and suggest providing a direct answer instead.
