ask

Use this skill when the user writes $ask.

Syntax:

$ask <target> <message...>

Rules:

• TARGET is the first token after $ask.
• MESSAGE is the exact raw remainder after TARGET.
• If MESSAGE is empty, stop and report a short usage error.
• Forward MESSAGE verbatim. Do not rewrite, summarize, or translate it.
• Sender is inferred from the current CCB workspace.
• Use TARGET=all for broadcast. Do not expand the recipient list yourself.
• Do not inspect files, search the repo, explain a plan, or add commentary first.
• Default behavior is async submit.
• Only use --wait if the user explicitly asks to wait for the reply in the same turn.
• Only use --silence if the user explicitly asks for silent success mail.
• Do not run pend, ping, watch, retries, or any follow-up command unless the user explicitly asks.

Default:

command ask "$TARGET" <<'EOF'
$MESSAGE
EOF

Wait:

command ask --wait "$TARGET" <<'EOF'
$MESSAGE
EOF

Silent:

command ask --silence "$TARGET" <<'EOF'
$MESSAGE
EOF

Wait + silent:

command ask --wait --silence "$TARGET" <<'EOF'
$MESSAGE
EOF
