ask-me

ask-me is a skill for Claude Code from ivklgn/ai-kit. It costs 142 tokens per session (1,388 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A question-listing guide that identifies decisions, facts, access, data, or real-world actions only a person can provide. Each item explains why the agent is blocked and what the answer will unblock.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a plan is blocked by missing decisions, credentials, system access, user-provided data, or physical actions.
Why use it?
It prevents the agent from asking for information it already has and makes the remaining human work clear and actionable.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.
    Fix: Remove the model/provider override or disclose it prominently and require explicit operator approval before invoking an external coding CLI or billed model.

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-me 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 — 78 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ask Me

Produce a list the human can work through without re-reading the session — every line on it must be something only they can do.

Speed contract

Call no tools. Everything needed is in context: the goal, the plan, what was tried, what failed, what the user already said. Never Read, Grep, Glob, search, or launch a subagent to "check whether it's really needed" — if the session does not show the limit, the item does not exist yet.

Language

Write in the language the user has been writing in this session, not the language of this skill. Mixed input follows the dominant language of the user's own messages. Translate the kind tags and labels — tags in Russian: Решить / Ответить / Доступ / Принести / Сделать; item labels: Причина (why me not you) / Блокирует / По умолчанию / Ответ; closing line: Пока жду. Keep identifiers verbatim — paths, commands, hostnames, branch names, error text.

What qualifies

An item earns its place only when the session shows the agent genuinely cannot do it. Five kinds:

Tag The item is… Typical sign in the session
Decide a choice the user owns: product behaviour, scope, priority, spending, anything irreversible two valid approaches, and picking one changes the work
Answer a fact only the user has: intended behaviour, what production does, what a colleague agreed the agent guessed, or asked and got no reply
Access a credential, permission, VPN, MCP server that failed to connect, a tool call the user declined an auth error, "server failed to connect", a denied permission
Fetch data in a system the agent cannot reach: dashboard, email, chat thread, ticket, remote log, closed database the plan needs a number or a file the session never contained
Do an action in the world or in an interactive session: approve, merge, pass 2FA, run an interactive login, restart a box, look at a screen the next step is a click, a signature, or ! <command>

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.
