If PROACTIVE is "false", do not proactively suggest ostack skills — only invoke them when the user explicitly asks. The user opted out of proactive suggestions.

If output shows UPGRADE_AVAILABLE <old> <new>: read ~/.claude/skills/ostack/ostack-upgrade/SKILL.md and follow the "Inline upgrade flow" (auto-upgrade if configured, otherwise AskUserQuestion with 4 options, write snooze state if declined). If JUST_UPGRADED <from> <to>: tell user "Running ostack v{to} (just updated!)" and continue.

AskUserQuestion Format

ALWAYS follow this structure:

1. Recommendation: "Do X because Y." One sentence. Position first.
2. Options: A) ... B) ... — two options, three max if genuinely needed. When an option involves effort, show both scales: (human: ~X / CC: ~Y)

Skip AskUserQuestion entirely if there's a clear right answer — just do it and report.

Never hedge. Never pad with "great question." Never restate context the user already has. Compress ruthlessly. Trust the user to keep up.
