AskUserQuestion (any variant — `mcp__*__AskUserQuestion` or native; see "AskUserQuestion Format → Tool resolution") satisfies plan mode's end-of-turn requirement. If AskUserQuestion is unavailable or a call fails, follow the AskUserQuestion Format failure fallback: `headless` → BLOCKED; `interactive` → the prose fallback (also satisfies end-of-turn). At a STOP point, stop immediately. Do not continue the workflow or call ExitPlanMode there. Commands marked "PLAN MODE EXCEPTION — ALWAYS RUN" execute. Call ExitPlanMode only after the skill workflow completes, or if the user tells you to cancel the skill or leave plan mode. If `PROACTIVE` is `"false"`, do not auto-invoke or proactively suggest skills. If a skill seems useful, ask: "I think /skillname might help here — want me to run it?" If `SKILL_PREFIX` is `"true"`, suggest/invoke `/gstack-*` names. Disk paths stay `~/.claude/skills/gstack/[skill-name]/SKILL.md`. If output shows `UPGRADE_AVAILABLE `: read `~/.claude/skills/gstack/gstack-upgrade/SKILL.md` and follow the "Inline upgrade flow" (auto-upgrade if configured, otherwise AskUserQuestion with 4 options, write snooze state if declined). If output shows `JUST_UPGRADED `: print "Running gstack v{to} (just updated!)". If `SPAWNED_SESSION` is true, skip feature discovery. Feature discovery, max one prompt per session: - Missing `~/.claude/skills/gstack/.feature-prompted-continuous-checkpoint`: AskUserQuestion for Continuous checkpoint auto-commits. If accepted, run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set checkpoint_mode continuous`. Always touch marker. - Missing `~/.claude/skills/gstack/.feature-prompted-model-overlay`: inform "Model overlays are active. MODEL_OVERLAY shows the patch." Always touch marker. After upgrade prompts, continue workflow. If `WRITING_STYLE_PENDING` is `yes`: ask once about writing style: > v1 prompts are simpler: first-use jargon glosses, outcome-framed questions, shorter prose. Keep default or restore terse? Options: - A) Keep the new default (recommended — good writing helps everyone) - B) Restore V0 prose — set `explain_level: terse` If A: leave `explain_level` unset (defaults to `default`). If B: run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set explain_level terse`. Always run (regardless of choice): ```bash rm -f ~/.gstack/.writing-style-prompt-pending touch ~/.gstack/.writing-style-prompted ``` Skip if `WRITING_STYLE_PENDING` is `no`. If `LAKE_INTRO` is `no`: say "gstack follows the **Boil the Ocean** principle — do the complete thing when AI makes marginal cost near-zero. Read more: https://garryslist.org/posts/boil-the-ocean" Offer to open: ```bash open https://garryslist.org/posts/boil-the-ocean touch ~/.gstack/.completeness-intro-seen ``` Only run `open` if yes. Always run `touch`. If `TEL_PROMPTED` is `no` AND `LAKE_INTRO` is `yes`: ask telemetry once via AskUserQuestion: > Help gstack get better. Share usage data only: skill, duration, crashes, stable device ID. No code or file paths. Your repo name is recorded locally only and stripped before any upload. Options: - A) Help gstack get better! (recommended) - B) No thanks If A: run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set telemetry community` If B: ask follow-up: > Anonymous mode sends only aggregate usage, no unique ID. Options: - A) Sure, anonymous is fine - B) No thanks, fully off If B→A: run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set telemetry anonymous` If B→B: run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set telemetry off` Always run: ```bash touch ~/.gstack/.telemetry-prompted ``` Skip if `TEL_PROMPTED` is `yes`. If `PROACTIVE_PROMPTED` is `no` AND `TEL_PROMPTED` is `yes`: ask once: > Let gstack proactively suggest skills, like /qa for "does this work?" or /investigate for bugs? Options: - A) Keep it on (recommended) - B) Turn it off — I'll type /commands myself If A: run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set proactive true` If B: run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set proactive false` Always run: ```bash touch ~/.gstack/.proactive-prompted ``` Skip if `PROACTIVE_PROMPTED` is `yes`. If `HAS_ROUTING` is `no` AND `ROUTING_DECLINED` is `false` AND `PROACTIVE_PROMPTED` is `yes`: Check if a CLAUDE.md file exists in the project root. If it does not exist, create it. Use AskUserQuestion: > gstack works best when your project's CLAUDE.md includes skill routing rules. Options: - A) Add routing rules to CLAUDE.md (recommended) - B) No thanks, I'll invoke skills manually If A: Append this section to the end of CLAUDE.md: ```markdown ## Skill routing When the user's request matches an available skill, invoke it via the Skill tool. When in doubt, invoke the skill. Key routing rules: - Product ideas/brainstorming → invoke /office-hours - Strategy/scope → invoke /plan-ceo-review - Architecture → invoke /plan-eng-review - Design system/plan review → invoke /design-consultation or /plan-design-review - Full review pipeline → invoke /autoplan - Bugs/errors → invoke /investigate - QA/testing site behavior → invoke /qa or /qa-only - Code review/diff check → invoke /review - Visual polish → invoke /design-review - Ship/deploy/PR → invoke /ship or /land-and-deploy - Save progress → invoke /context-save - Resume context → invoke /context-restore - Author a backlog-ready spec/issue → invoke /spec ``` Then commit the change: `git add CLAUDE.md && git commit -m "chore: add gstack skill routing rules to CLAUDE.md"` If B: run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set routing_declined true` and say they can re-enable with `gstack-config set routing_declined false`. This only happens once per project. Skip if `HAS_ROUTING` is `yes` or `ROUTING_DECLINED` is `true`. If `VENDORED_GSTACK` is `yes`, warn once via AskUserQuestion unless `~/.gstack/.vendoring-warned-$SLUG` exists: > This project has gstack vendored in `.claude/skills/gstack/`. Vendoring is deprecated. > Migrate to team mode? Options: - A) Yes, migrate to team mode now - B) No, I'll handle it myself If A: 1. Run `git rm -r .claude/skills/gstack/` 2. Run `echo '.claude/skills/gstack/' >> .gitignore` 3. Run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-team-init required` (or `optional`) 4. Run `git add .claude/ .gitignore CLAUDE.md && git commit -m "chore: migrate gstack from vendored to team mode"` 5. Tell the user: "Done. Each developer now runs: `cd ~/.claude/skills/gstack && ./setup --team`" If B: say "OK, you're on your own to keep the vendored copy up to date." Always run (regardless of choice): ```bash eval "$(~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-slug 2>/dev/null)" 2>/dev/null || true touch ~/.gstack/.vendoring-warned-${SLUG:-unknown} ``` If marker exists, skip. If `SPAWNED_SESSION` is `"true"`, you are running inside a session spawned by an AI orchestrator (e.g., OpenClaw). In spawned sessions: - Do NOT use AskUserQuestion for interactive prompts. Auto-choose the recommended option. - Do NOT run upgrade checks, telemetry prompts, routing injection, or lake intro. - Focus on completing the task and reporting results via prose output. - End with a completion report: what shipped, decisions made, anything uncertain. ## AskUserQuestion Format ### Tool resolution (read first) "AskUserQuestion" can resolve to two tools at runtime: the **host MCP variant** (e.g. `mcp__conductor__AskUserQuestion` — appears in your tool list when the host registers it) or the **native** Claude Code tool. **Conductor rule (read before the MCP rule):** if `CONDUCTOR_SESSION: true` was echoed by the preamble, do NOT call AskUserQuestion at all — neither native nor any `mcp__*__AskUserQuestion` variant. Render EVERY decision brief as the **prose form** below and STOP. This is proactive, not a reaction to a failure: Conductor disables native AUQ and its MCP variant is flaky (it returns `[Tool result missing due to internal error]`), so prose is the reliable path. **Auto-decide preferences still apply first:** if a `[plan-tune auto-decide] →
