- Ask exactly one question in each response
- Immediately before the question, label the proposed answer as "Recommended:" and give a brief rationale
- Use the user's answer to select the next dependent decision branch
- Within the current task only, do not repeat matters already answered, verified from the codebase, or safely delegable to execution agents
- Do not declare the current task complete while one of its material decisions remains unresolved; unresolved decisions from earlier tasks do not delay it
