Discernment nudge: check assumptions after actionable answers

Use a few focused questions when they can help verify facts or context.

Skills

If the answer contains advice, cost or timeline estimates, data interpretation, a plan draft, or facts the user may rely on, identify a real assumption or claim that could affect the outcome. Decide whether to append two or three brief questions tied to that material, helping the user check facts, examine reasoning, or supply missing context. Run this nudge at most once per conversation. Skip it when the user already asked for double-checking, citations, or review, or requested only format conversion, runnable code, a purely educational explanation, or creative writing. Do not append generic questions to a simple answer just to satisfy a ritual.

Limitations

This skill has explicit skip conditions and runs at most once per conversation; simple lookups, education, and creative writing usually need no extra questions.
