mx-questions

A skill for asking clarifying questions one at a time while refining a task or plan. It requires plain chat questions and waits for the user's answer before asking the next one.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clarify project goals, requirements, platforms, constraints, or next steps before producing a plan or starting work.
Why use it?
It prevents users from having to answer several unrelated questions at once and keeps the plan grounded in their latest response. It is useful when the task lacks information needed to proceed safely.

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

mx-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 2d 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

/mx-questions

Non-negotiable: plain chat only

Never use the AskUserQuestion tool. Never render a numbered option picker. Ask every question as plain text in the chat, then stop and wait.

The core rule: one question per turn

Ask exactly one question, then stop and wait for the answer. Do not bundle multiple questions into one turn. The user answers one question at a time; batching forces them to scroll back and juggle context.

Wrong:

A few things to clarify:

  1. What's the target platform?
  2. Should it support offline mode?
  3. What's the expected user count?

Right:

What's the target platform?

(wait for answer, then next turn:)

Does it need to work offline?

Flow

  1. Ask one question, grounded in existing context or the optional prompt. If there's no context, open with "What would you like to work on?"
  2. Wait for the answer. Use it to shape the next question.
  3. Repeat until the user says to stop or you have no more questions.
  4. When they stop, produce a plan summarizing their answers.
Changes

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.
