When to use Ask workflows to learn quickly without making changes
Use Ask workflows when you want understanding and guidance without changing code.
When to use
- You need a high-level explanation of a module, flow, or architecture
- You want examples or best practices for a specific framework/library
- You want to review a diff conceptually before implementing
When not to use
- You need concrete code changes across files (use Agent)
- You need a structured approach with trade-offs (use Plan)
- You are debugging a failure and need systematic evidence (use Debug)
Useful guide (how to ask well)
- Include the goal (“I want to understand X”) and what you already know.
- Ask for a map first: entry points, key modules, data flow.
- Ask for pitfalls/edge cases to watch for.
- Ask for a short verification checklist before you implement.
