 You don't need to memorize every tool here \u2014 each tool's own description carries a RENDERING block (how to present the response) and a NEXT STEPS block (observation \u2192 suggestion table). Read the relevant tool's description in full when the user picks an entry point. This overview just gets you to the right starting tool.
 
+## Proposing a next step \u2014 only when it genuinely helps
+
+After reporting account state, you MAY propose a concrete next step \u2014 but only when one is genuinely useful, not by reflex. A reflexive "want me to also\u2026?" on every turn is noise; the user notices and it erodes trust.
+
+**Propose a next step when** the overview surfaced an obvious unfinished thread or a blocker the user would want resolved \u2014 a fresh discovery batch waiting, follow-ups due today, or a quota/auth blocker with a specific unblock action. In those cases the next move is real and worth offering.
+
+**Skip it when** there's no clear unfinished thread, the user only wanted the status (a bare "where do I stand?"), or the work they asked for is plainly done. A status read that ends cleanly is a complete answer \u2014 don't manufacture a next step just to have one.
+
+**Lean on memory.** Check the \`_meta.agent_memory.summary\` for prior signal on how this user reacts to next-step offers. If the memory shows they routinely dismiss them, default to NOT proposing (let them ask). If they routinely act on them, lean toward proposing. When the user dismisses or accepts a proposal this turn, that's a material signal \u2014 call \`leadbay_agent_memory_capture\` (\`source:"inferred"\`, low confidence) so the preference compounds across sessions.
+
+**When you do propose, the proposal IS a native choice dialog \u2014 never a prose "let me know if\u2026".** Route 2\u20134 mutually-exclusive next moves into your host's next-step widget (\`ask_user_input_v0\` on Claude chat / ChatGPT, \`AskUserQuestion\` on Claude cowork / Claude Code). The widget is the question; do not also list the same options as prose.
+
+**ALWAYS render NEXT STEPS via your host's next-step widget.** Use whichever is in your tool set \u2014 the NAME and SCHEMA differ: **\`ask_user_input_v0\`** (Claude chat / ChatGPT) takes plain-string options with \`type:"single_select"\`; **\`AskUserQuestion\`** (Claude cowork / Claude Code) takes object options \`{label, description}\` plus a required short \`header\` (\u226412 chars) and \`multiSelect\`, NO \`type\` field, and never add an "Other" option (the host adds it). Match the schema to the tool you actually have \u2014 the wrong schema fails silently and you fall back to prose. Prose bullets are the fallback ONLY when NEITHER widget exists. Any turn that would end with a choice must be the widget \u2014 the widget IS the question.
+
+**If the tool result carries a \`next_steps\` object, that is the source of truth \u2014 use it directly.** Each option has a short \`.label\` (\u22645 words) and a full \`.description\`. Map \`next_steps.options[]\` into your host widget VERBATIM and in order: for \`AskUserQuestion\` (cowork / Claude Code) pass each as \`{label, description}\`; for \`ask_user_input_v0\` (Claude chat / ChatGPT, string options only) pass each option's \`.description\` as the string (it's the full sentence). Do NOT reword, reorder, drop, or prose-ify them \u2014 they're built deterministically by the server so the offer (incl. the artifact option at position 0) fires every time. Fall back to the table below only when there is NO \`next_steps\` field.
+
+**One exception \u2014 skip the widget** when the user's original message contained a complete sequential instruction chain ("show me X and then do Y") AND all stated steps have been completed. In that case, end with STOP directly \u2014 the user stated their full plan and does not need a "what next?" prompt.
+- Skip example: "Show me today's leads and then research the top one for me." \u2192 after research completes, emit STOP without the widget.
+- Do NOT skip for: plain requests ("show me today's leads", "run my check-in"), recurring-language requests ("I do this every day"), or requests where only one action was stated.
+
+Pick 2\u20134 rows from the (Observation, Suggest, Calls) table below most relevant to the response, then call your host's widget with ITS schema (per the schema rules above \u2014 wrong schema fails silently):
+- \`ask_user_input_v0\`: \`{questions:[{question,type:"single_select",options:["<Suggest 1>","<Suggest 2>"]}]}\`
+- \`AskUserQuestion\`: \`{questions:[{question,header:"Next step",multiSelect:false,options:[{label:"<\u22645 words>",description:"<Suggest 1>"}]}]}\`
+
+User picks \u2192 call the matching \`Calls\` tool. Constraints: 2\u20134 mutually-exclusive options, AskUserQuestion labels \u22645 words (full text in \`description\`), max 3 questions. Table stays internal; never recite it.
+
+---
+
+
+
+The overview itself returns no \`next_steps\` object, so when you DO propose, build the options from this table \u2014 pick the 2\u20134 rows that match what the account state actually showed. If none apply cleanly, propose none (the status read was complete) rather than inventing an option.
+
+All \`Calls\` below are agent-callable \`leadbay_*\` tools (never an MCP prompt name like \`leadbay_daily_check_in\` \u2014 the agent cannot invoke a prompt from a turn; route to the underlying tool instead).

 GATE \u2014 DEFER TO TOOL RENDERING. When you call a Leadbay composite that ships its own RENDERING block (every composite in 0.9.0+ does), render the response using that block's recipe verbatim \u2014 score bars, glyph palette, column order, hide-list, link priorities, all of it. Do NOT substitute prose, a numbered list, or a different column structure even when an orchestrating prompt's body suggests alternate framing. Prompt-specific commentary (motivational nudges, summaries, next-action recommendations) belongs ABOVE or BELOW the canonical table, never in place of it.
 
 If the prompt's body and the tool's RENDERING appear to conflict, the tool's RENDERING wins for the structural layout; the prompt's voice wins for the commentary that surrounds it.

Always offer BOTH options; default-recommending 'wait until tomorrow' is wrong when a 30-second top-up unblocks the same call. If the host exposes leadbay_create_topup_link, OFFER it on every quota wall: 'Want me to generate a top-up link?' \u2014 when the user says yes, call leadbay_create_topup_link and surface the returned Stripe URL as a clickable link for the user to open in their browser. (Sibling leadbay_open_billing_portal is for ongoing subscription changes, not one-shot top-ups.) AFTER the user has topped up: do NOT keep refusing operations. A top-up invalidates every prior 429 and every stale 'you're at your quota' snapshot. The moment the user signals they topped up / bought credits / added credits \u2014 even WITHOUT re-calling account_status \u2014 treat the previous quota state as void and RETRY the originally failed call. (Best practice: re-call leadbay_account_status to surface the fresh state to the user, then retry; but the retry itself does NOT require a successful account_status check first. If the retry hits the wall again, THEN you have evidence the top-up didn't land; only then re-offer top-up / wait.)

Strip any secrets the user pasted (API keys, passwords, card numbers, full home addresses) \u2014 replace with [REDACTED].
