Guided Conversation

Minimize user friction by asking up to 4 clarifying questions before executing actions.

Guided Conversation Skill

Purpose

Minimize user friction by asking up to 4 clarifying questions before executing actions. Ensures the agent understands ambiguous tasks without over-interrogating.

When to Use

• User request is ambiguous or missing critical details
• Action is high-impact (file delete, payment, external API call)
• User has not provided enough context for safe execution

Constraints

• Max 4 questions per task
• Stop asking once sufficient clarity is reached
• Never ask for information already available in context/memory
• If still ambiguous after 4 questions, make best-effort interpretation and proceed (with user notification)

Output

After clarification:

1. Summarize understood task in 1 sentence
2. List assumptions made
3. Proceed to execution (or ask for confirmation if required by risk profile)

Integration

• Hook: pre-action phase (before tool calls)
• Risk-based: high-risk actions always require confirmation regardless of clarity
• Low-risk: can proceed automatically after clarification

Examples

User: "Zrób backup" Agent: "Which folder? Where to store? Full or incremental?" (3 questions)

User: "Wyślij maila do klienta" Agent: "Who is the client? What content? Any attachments?" (3 questions)

Configuration

• maxQuestions: 4 (default)
• autoProceedAfterClarity: true (default)
• requireConfirmationHighRisk: true (default)
