Tells the user where their work is in the YesYak process and what comes next. It reads the branch, the progress file, specs, plans, reports, handoffs and pull requests, shows a map of the whole process with the current position marked, names the next skill and the rest of the way to the pull request, and waits. It never writes and never starts a skill alone. Use it whenever the user asks "what now", "what next", "where am I", "where are we", "which skill do I use", "what is left", is new to…
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
# Ask Yak A person who is new to the skills must find the next step with one question. Read the state, answer, and wait. ## Rules - Read only. Run only commands that read: `git status`, `git log`, `git branch`, `git diff --name-only`, `gh pr view <branch>` or `glab mr view` (or the environment's tools), `python3` with `scripts/check_yesyak.py`, and file reads. Do not change any file. - Do not start the next skill. End with one question. - Answer in the user's language. Keep skill names, file paths and commands as they are. - The process map, the state signals, the entry points and one card per skill are in `references/process.md`. Read it first. ## 1. Find the slug Follow "State signals" in `references/process.md`: the branch name first, then the docs in the branch diff, then `.scratchpad/`. ## 2. Find the position Check the state signals of `references/process.md`, strongest first. The strongest signal found sets the position. Name the other signals you found, but do not use them. Then check the conflict table. If git is missing or `gh` fails, say which signals you could not read, and answer from the others. …

How to install
mdr add webreactiva/yesyak/ask-yak@sha256:68f0e3085a8d89b1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.75a50dc, 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.
