Selective Reading Rule

Read ONLY files relevant to the request! Check the content map, find what you need.

Question Tool Usage (MANDATORY)

When this skill requires user input or choices:

  • Use question tool for all multi-option scenarios
  • Present trade-offs clearly in option descriptions
  • Structure template selection questions properly

Example usage:

question({
  questions: [{
      question: "Which application template?",
      header: "Template",
      options: [
        { label: "Next.js Full-Stack", description: "Modern React stack" },
        { label: "FastAPI", description: "Python API" },
        { label: "React Native", description: "Mobile app" }
      ]
    }]
})

See .opencode/rules/MASTER.md for complete Question Tool Protocol.
