# Ask Constraints

Identify non-negotiable constraints.

## Execution

Dialogue — inline, no subagent.

## What to Ask About (one at a time)

- Target venue/journal (if any)

- Methodology preferences (empirical? theoretical? both?)

- Areas to explicitly avoid

- Advisor/team hard requirements

- Ethical/legal constraints

## Key Behavior

Not limited to ML/AI. Works for any research domain. Some users have no constraints — that's a valid answer.

## Output

Constraints section of ActorProfile.
