The canonical contract for asking the user a decision question — the markdown Q&A format (Context → Options with pros/cons → Recommended + reasoning → one at a time), the response grammar, and the persisted questions.md shape. Invoked just-in-time by any Smith gate that presents questions (smith-new, smith-clarify, smith init). Never uses the interactive AskUserQuestion popup.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Smith Question Contract This skill is the **single source of truth** for how Smith asks the user a decision question and processes the answer. Any Smith workflow that reaches a point where it must ask the user to choose between options invokes this skill at that moment so the contract is fresh in context, then follows it verbatim. It does **not** generate questions — the calling workflow supplies the questions (from plan artifacts, spec ambiguities, an intake template, etc.). This skill defines only the **presentation, pacing, and answer-handling** contract. ## Hard rule: never use the interactive popup **Do NOT use the `AskUserQuestion` tool (the interactive multiple-choice popup) to present these questions.** Questions are presented as **markdown text** per the contract below. This is enforced by the `question-gate-guard.sh` PreToolUse hook (config `question_gate.mode`) and by a graded rule in the CLAUDE.md rule set; this skill states it so the contract is self-reinforcing in context. Rationale: the markdown contract shows the full Context, every option's tradeoffs, and the recommendation with its reasoning — and leaves a durable, …

How to install
mdr add attckdigital/smith/smith-question@sha256:fc03efb345b217c2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260922.5c95ea6, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
