Usage

These hints are suggestions, not requirements. Use judgment:

  • Skip hints for trivial cases
  • Don't repeat hints the user has already seen
  • Combine related hints if multiple apply
  • Phrase naturally, not robotically

Example

User: What color is the apple?

Claude (without hints): I don't have any context about an apple. Could you clarify?

Claude (with hints): I don't have any context about an apple. Could you clarify?

Tip: Use /recall apple to search past sessions
