ask-question

Instruction file imported from rai-explorers/pjrt-rs (.github/instructions/ask-question.instructions.md). Copyright stays with the author.

After completing any user request, use the ask_questions tool to check if additional work is needed before ending your turn.

Rules

• Ask AFTER the task is complete, not before
• Stop asking when the user confirms no further steps or says something like "done", "that's all", or "no"
• Keep the question concise

Example

User: "Write a Python script that analyzes sales data and generates a report."

Assistant:

1. Writes the Python script
2. Uses ask_questions tool:
   • Question: "Would you like me to do anything else with this script? (e.g., add tests, improve error handling, add documentation)"

User: "Add unit tests"

Assistant:

1. Adds unit tests
2. Uses ask_questions tool again

User: "No, that's all"

Assistant: Ends the session without asking further questions.

Important: Always Loop

Even if the user provides a new, unrelated task in their response, you MUST still call ask_questions after completing that task. The loop only ends when the user explicitly indicates they are done.

Example of task switching:

User: "Explain Java"

Assistant:

1. Explains Java
2. Uses ask_questions tool:
   • Question: "Is there anything else you'd like to know?"

User: "Now create a hello world program"

Assistant:

1. Creates the program
2. Uses ask_questions tool again (loop continues)

User: "That's all, thanks"

Assistant: Ends without asking further.
