# Ask me

## Contract

| Field | Bound contract |
|---|---|
| Trigger | Ambiguous task or elicitation request; long, bundled, high-stakes, hard-to-undo instruction; ambiguous scope or referents; or explicit mode: exhaustive, collaborative, adversarial, gate, batch, interview, scan, or proposal. |
| Authority | Reversible local. Writes only the user-approved decision log file in interview mode or one durable "understood as: ..." log line for substantial work after gate decision; every other mode emits chat output only. Rollback is deleting that file or log line. Before the gate passes, no file, VCS, credential, paid, published, or deployed mutation is permitted. No remote mutation. |
| Side effect | Question sets, findings reports, and intent proposals in chat; interview mode writes one named local file after approval; gate mode writes one durable understood-as log line for substantial work after the gate decision and nothing before it; no other mode writes. |
| Done | The selected mode's terminal state holds: intent confirmed, frontier empty, record approved and written, no open manual finding, proposal answered, or gate mode stopped on no signal or passed after a paraphrased, context-checked restatement with any genuine fork surfaced, the required substantial-work log line written, and no premature action. |

## Inputs

- The user's task, request, or handed-over material (required).
