Resolve Open Items

Settle each open item with one question per item, acting on every answer before the next round.

Step 1: List the Open Items

Call the mcp__turbo__open-items tool with action set to list. When it answers that there are no open items, present "No open items." Then use the TaskList tool and proceed to any remaining task.

Step 2: Settle Each Item

Use AskUserQuestion, one question per item in the order list returns them, filling each call to its four-question limit:

• Header — #<id>
• Question — the item's line, plus whatever its detail adds that the answer depends on
• Options — at most four, by the kind of item. Give each option a description saying what choosing it does and what it gives up.

  • Decision, where the detail names choices. Fill the four options in this order and leave out whatever does not fit:

    1. The choice the detail recommends, with "(Recommended)" appended and the reason in its description. When no choice earns it with conviction, the most likely choice, unlabeled.
    2. Get a second opinion, when the decision is costly to reverse (it establishes a pattern others will follow, defines an interface, commits to a data shape, or imports a pattern the codebase has not used) or no choice earns "(Recommended)" with conviction. Leave it out when asking about an item again after a consultation.
    3. The other choices, most likely first.
    4. Not yet, then Note for later.

    End the question by naming each choice or deferral left out as available under "Other".

  • Action, where only the user can do it: Done, Not yet, and Note for later.

  • Open question, an item with no listed choices: the answers the conversation supports, then Not yet and Note for later, leaving out whatever does not fit and naming it in the question as available under "Other". When the conversation supports no answer, invite it under "Other".

After each call, act on its answers before the next call. An answer given under "Other" that names a choice, "not yet", or "note for later" takes that option's branch.
