ask

ask is a command for coding agents from drobins25/craft. It costs 25 tokens per session (1,311 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that sends a question to the most suitable specialist agent in a project’s craft workshop.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for feature feedback, design direction, breaking work into smaller parts, or finding gaps in testing.
Why use it?
It helps you get advice from the right kind of reviewer instead of choosing from a fixed list without context.

Command

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

Part of the craft plugin — 29 commands, 27 agents, 1 MCP server shipped together

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

agentmods
npx agentmods add commands/drobins25/craft/craft-ask
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/drobins25/craft

Or install craft, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 29 commands, 27 agents, 1 MCP server.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ask scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 170 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ask

Consult a craft agent. The skill reads your question, scans the available agents, and recommends who to talk to - like a bartender who knows your order before you say it.

Project Root

Use $CRAFT_PROJECT_ROOT (set at session start) as the base path for all .craft/ references. If not set, resolve by walking up from PWD to find the nearest .craft/.global-state.

Set PROJECT to ${CRAFT_PROJECT_ROOT:-.}.

Flow

Step 1: Get the Question

If args provided: Use the args as the question.

If no args: Use AskUserQuestion:

question: "What do you want to ask?"
header: "Ask"
options:
  - label: "Feature gut check"
    description: "Will anyone care about this? Is it compelling or just useful?"
  - label: "Design direction"
    description: "Does this feel right? What's the visual/emotional read?"
  - label: "Decomposition review"
    description: "Is this story scoped right? Where are the natural seams?"
  - label: "QA adversary"
    description: "Where will this break? What am I not testing?"

If user picks an option, ask a follow-up: "Give me the details - what specifically are you working on?"

Store the full question as {QUESTION}.

Step 2: Gather Context

Read project context to enrich the agent prompt. Do this silently - no user interaction.

  • Read $PROJECT/.craft/project.md (first 30 lines - stack, conventions)
  • Read $PROJECT/.craft/.global-state (active cycle, current story)
  • If CURRENT_STORY is set, read the story file frontmatter

Store as {CONTEXT}.

Step 3: Discover Agents

Use Glob to find all agents: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/agents/*.md

For each agent file, read the first 15 lines (frontmatter only). Extract:

  • name: field
  • description: field (contains trigger conditions and consulting guidance)

Skip agents that are purely operational (chunk-validator, claims-auditor, implementer, tester, plan-chunks-agent, project-scanner, verifier, practitioner-reviewer). These are internal to the craft pipeline and not designed for consultation.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
