One of the key limitations of the last generation was that they biased towards inaction and gave up. (Hence Ralph-loops.)
Seems pretty clear that most people wanted these models tuned to “bias towards action”.
It’s on you to set the /goal and prompt context such that it asks you for input on what you want to be consulted on, and only brute-forces the parts of the problem that you want it to.
Is there any recommended standard copy/pastable snippet to tell the model to ask, if the user’s input could mean an easier approach?
I have been using https://www.aihero.dev/skills-grill-me with great success. It’s a very nice small skill for lightweight up-front planning. And if you have that at the top of your session, you can just say “please use AskUserQuestion for any important decisions that arise which might alter our plan”. It seems to prime the agent to be in high-level discourse mode.
