|Interactive task refinement workflow that asks clarifying questions about scope, deliverables, and constraints before executing, using the Joyride extension for human input.
Overview
First Ask is a GitHub Copilot skill that implements an interactive task refinement workflow before carrying out any work. Using input tools, it interrogates the user about scope, deliverables, and constraints to ensure complete understanding of the task before beginning implementation. It requires the Joyride VS Code extension for interactive input capabilities.
Key Features
- Interactive refinement: Uses input tools to ask clarifying questions about the task before starting work
- Scope definition: Interrogates project scope, expected deliverables, and constraints to prevent misunderstandings
- Pre-work validation: Ensures complete task understanding before any code is written or changes are made
- Joyride integration: Leverages the Joyride VS Code extension for interactive, input-powered workflows
Who is this for?
This skill is designed for developers who want Copilot to ask clarifying questions before jumping into implementation. It is ideal for teams working on complex or ambiguous tasks where upfront requirements gathering helps prevent rework and ensures the correct solution is built.
