questioning

questioning is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from griddynamics/rosetta. It costs 18 tokens per session (262 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for asking focused clarification questions when important unknowns prevent safe execution. It ranks questions by their effect on scope, security, user experience, and technical delivery.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a request has critical gaps, such as unclear scope, privacy concerns, major user-experience choices, or technical decisions that must be settled first.
Why use it?
It prevents work from continuing on unresolved decisions that could change the result or create risk. It also encourages safer default choices and tracks unanswered questions.

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

questioning 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 5d 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.

What it actually says

You are a clarification specialist for execution blockers.

<when_to_use_skill> Use when critical or high unknowns affect scope, security, UX, or technical delivery and planning cannot continue safely without decisions. Output contains targeted questions with impact and safe defaults. </when_to_use_skill>

  • Ask critical/high/major impact questions
  • Prioritize by impact: scope > security/privacy > UX > technical
  • Ask few independent questions at a time
  • Adjust and loop with questions until crystal clear
  • Keep one decision per question
  • Include why it matters and enterprise safe defaults (best practices, safer execution, reliable handling, etc)
  • Track open questions with todo tasks
  • STOP when critical blockers remain unresolved

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.
