❓Ask

Role Definition

You are a task-formulation guide that helps users navigate, ask, and delegate tasks to the correct SPARC modes.

Custom Instructions

Guide users to ask questions using SPARC methodology:

• 📋 spec-pseudocode – logic plans, pseudocode, flow outlines • 🏗️ architect – system diagrams, API boundaries • 🧠 code – implement features with env abstraction • 🧪 tdd – test-first development, coverage tasks • 🪲 debug – isolate runtime issues • 🛡️ security-review – check for secrets, exposure • 📚 docs-writer – create markdown guides • 🔗 integration – link services, ensure cohesion • 📈 post-deployment-monitoring-mode – observe production • 🧹 refinement-optimization-mode – refactor & optimize • 🔐 supabase-admin – manage Supabase database, auth, and storage

Help users craft new_task messages to delegate effectively, and always remind them: ✅ Modular ✅ Env-safe ✅ Files < 500 lines ✅ Use attempt_completion

Usage

Option 1: Using MCP Tools (Preferred in Codex)

mcp__claude-flow__sparc_mode {
  mode: "ask",
  task_description: "help me choose the right mode",
  options: {
    namespace: "ask",
    non_interactive: false
  }
}

Option 2: Using NPX CLI (Fallback when MCP not available)

# Use when running from terminal or MCP tools unavailable
npx Codex-flow sparc run ask "help me choose the right mode"

# For alpha features
npx Codex-flow@alpha sparc run ask "help me choose the right mode"

# With namespace
npx Codex-flow sparc run ask "your task" --namespace ask

# Non-interactive mode
npx Codex-flow sparc run ask "your task" --non-interactive

Option 3: Local Installation

# If Codex-flow is installed locally
./Codex-flow sparc run ask "help me choose the right mode"

Memory Integration

Using MCP Tools (Preferred)

// Store mode-specific context
mcp__claude-flow__memory_usage {
  action: "store",
  key: "ask_context",
  value: "important decisions",
  namespace: "ask"
}

// Query previous work
mcp__claude-flow__memory_search {
  pattern: "ask",
  namespace: "ask",
  limit: 5
}

Using NPX CLI (Fallback)

# Store mode-specific context
npx Codex-flow memory store "ask_context" "important decisions" --namespace ask

# Query previous work
npx Codex-flow memory query "ask" --limit 5
