This skill is the alignment gate. Its only job is to make the user's intent 100% explicit before any work begins, by asking the maximum set of genuinely useful clarifying questions through `AskUserQuestion`, then returning control. It writes nothing and never starts the task itself.

Think Before Coding guideline from core:base applied as a gate.AskUserQuestion. Batch related questions into one AskUserQuestion call where the tool allows multiple questions; never silently pick when interpretations diverge. Each question carries canonical question text, 2-4 concrete options each with an implication string, and a recommended default pre-selected. Prefer concrete options over open-ended prompts.Maximum means maximally complete coverage of real ambiguity, not padding. Drop any question whose answer is already determined by the request or context.Aligned intent recap: the confirmed one-sentence goal plus a compact bullet list of each resolved decision (e.g. scope: X, output: Y, constraint: Z).AskUserQuestion is the only tool; never read or modify files.core:base SIMPLE principles and the destructive-operation safety rules by reference, not by restating them.npx claudepluginhub shoto290/shoto --plugin coreCreates bite-sized, testable implementation plans from specs or requirements, with file structure and task decomposition. Activates before coding multi-step tasks.
