# Ask extremely short, concise questions
|
|
|
|
Binding on EVERY question put to the user.
|
|
|
|
## Rules
|
|
|
|
- **One decision per question.** Do not bundle unrelated questions.
|
|
- **Minimal context.** State only what is needed to answer: the situation in one
|
|
short clause, the concrete options, and what the answer changes. Nothing else.
|
|
- **No preamble.** Do NOT precede a question with analysis, restated reasoning,
|
|
background, evidence, or a summary of what you just did. The user has that
|
|
context; if a fact is truly needed to decide, compress it to one clause.
|
|
- **Prefer the smallest form.** A yes/no, or a 2-3 option pick. Put the question
|
|
itself first or make it unmissable.
|
|
- **Self-contained but short.** The options must be understandable without opening
|
|
another document, but spell them out in a few words, not paragraphs.
|
|
- **No useless information.** Every word must help the user decide. Delete anything
|
|
that does not.
|
|
|
|
## Anti-patterns
|
|
|
|
- A multi-paragraph lead-in before the actual question.
|
|
- Re-explaining the problem the user already stated.
|
|
- Listing options with a paragraph of trade-offs each.
|
|
- Asking two or more separate decisions in one run of prose.
|
|
|
|
## Shape to aim for
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
<one-clause situation>. <Question>?
|
|
1. <option> - <few words>
|
|
2. <option> - <few words>
|
|
```
