qstack-ask-as-questions

qstack-ask-as-questions is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hani-q/qstack. It costs 127 tokens per session (1,037 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A question-asking skill that finds unresolved decisions in the previous assistant answer and sends them through the host's structured question tool. It rewrites each question for a specified reader, usually a product manager, with options and a recommendation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after an answer leaves choices open, such as scope or product decisions, and optionally name the audience and product context for the questions.
Why use it?
It turns scattered or unclear follow-up questions into decisions a named stakeholder can answer. It does not write changes or update a plan.

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

qstack-ask-as-questions 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 1mo 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 — 90 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/qstack-ask-as-questions

Turn the open questions in the immediately previous assistant answer into questions a reader outside the work can answer. Ask them one round at a time with the host's structured question tool, and report the answers.

This skill reads the conversation, not the plan. A plan's open-questions section belongs to /qstack-ask-plan-open-questions, which also writes the answers back into the plan. This skill writes nothing.

Read the invocation

The argument is free text naming the reader. Take the role from it and, when present, the product that reader owns.

  • /qstack-ask-as-questions (product manager)
  • /qstack-ask-as-questions ceo
  • /qstack-ask-as-questions support lead on the habit tracker

Choose the lens from the role table in skills/qstack-explain-for/SKILL.md and follow that table where it sits rather than copying it here. The default reader is a product manager.

Collect the questions

Read the previous substantive assistant answer. A question is anything that answer leaves for the user to decide: a sentence that asks, a numbered "your call" list, a choice between two named options, or a statement that work is waiting on the user's word. Collect every one. Do not add a question the answer did not raise, and do not drop one because it seems minor.

If the previous answer holds no such question, say so in one short line and stop.

Each question carries what the answer already knows about it: what the choice is, why it came up, what each way costs, and what the answer recommended if it recommended anything. That context is the raw material for the rephrasing; nothing is invented beyond it.

Shape each question

Every question is asked in this shape, in this order:

  1. The header, when the tool has one: a short label naming the subject, not the question.
  2. For a <role>: the question at the reader's altitude, written under the role's row of the explain-for table. Lead with the reader's silent question from that row. Assume the reader has not seen the work, the files, or the conversation, so carry the context an outsider needs: what was being done, why it stopped on this, and what waits on the answer. Drop file paths and internal names unless the reader has to use them.
  3. ELI10: the same question in two or three sentences a ten-year-old follows. A concrete comparison works; jargon does not.
  4. Options: lettered A, B, C, and so on, each in the reader's language, each saying what happens if it is picked and what it costs. The recommended option is listed first as A with (Recommended) in its label and a one-sentence reason in its description. If the previous answer recommended nothing, recommend the option that keeps the most existing decisions intact and say that is why.

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.
