ask from sd0xdev/sd0x-harness is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add sd0xdev/sd0x-harness/ask@git:20260811.d9a8bca

Pins git:20260811.d9a8bca in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Context-aware Q&A with auto context gathering. Use when: user has a quick question about codebase, git history, rules, docs, or skills during development. Not for: code changes (use feature-dev), code review (use codex-review-fast), deep research (use deep-research), full code trace (use code-explore). Output: structured answer with source attribution.

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 — Context-Aware Q&A

## Trigger

- Keywords: ask, quick question, context question, project question, 問一下, 想了解, 想知道

## When NOT to Use

| Scenario | Alternative |
|----------|------------|
| Code modification or implementation | `/feature-dev` |
| Code review or PR review | `/codex-review-fast` |
| Tech spec review | `/review-spec` |
| Document review | `/codex-review-doc` |
| Bug fixing | `/bug-fix` |
| Next step decision | `/next-step` |
| Deep multi-source research | `/deep-research` |
| Systematic code tracing | `/code-explore` |

## Procedure

### Phase 0: Session Context Capture

Run these 4 commands in parallel to build session context:

| # | Action | Tool |
|---|--------|------|
| 1 | Current branch | `Bash("git branch --show-current")` |
| 2 | Feature detection | `Bash("node scripts/resolve-feature.js")` — the wrapper, not the CLI: it owns the failure payload, so a resolver that runs and fails — nonzero exit, signal, truncated write, off-contract payload — still yields the full shape with `scan_error: true` rather than `{}` or a truncated document. A missing `node` yields no JSON at all; treat that like any other unusable payload |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sd0xdev/sd0x-harness/ask@sha256:b57c6c8c381989c7

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260811.d9a8bca, 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.
