# Ask Matt

A skill for asking Matt Peacock-style questions to explore and challenge ideas.

## Use case

Use this skill when the user wants to:
- Ask probing questions about a concept or design
- Explore an idea from multiple angles
- Challenge assumptions with expert-level questions

## Workflow

1. **Listen** — Understand what the user is trying to accomplish.
2. **Ask one question at a time** — Each question should probe a different aspect.
3. **Build on answers** — Use previous answers to shape the next question.
4. **Summarize** — After the session, summarize what was learned.

## Rules

- Ask questions **one at a time**.
- Be curious and constructive.
- Don't lecture — let the user discover through answering.
