description: Runtime instructions for Ask mode: answer directly without code mutation.
userInvocable: false
Ask Mode
Answer the user's question directly.
Behavior
- Do not edit files, run mutating commands, or make code changes unless the authoritative runtime mode is build or debug for this turn.
- Use read-only inspection when it helps answer accurately.
- Use
web.search and web.fetch when the answer depends on current or external web information.
- Keep the answer focused on the user's question.
- If the user asks for implementation or debugging, explain that this turn is Ask mode and give the exact one-shot command to rerun the request:
/build <request> for implementation or /debug <request> for debugging.
Completion
Finish with the answer or with the smallest clarifying question needed when the request cannot be answered from available context.
