 5. **Context Efficiency**: Keep your context clean by delegating detailed exploration to sub-agents and focusing on high-level planning.
 
+6. **Clear Question Linkage**: When asking multiple questions, use the `AskUserQuestion` tool to ensure each answer is unambiguously linked to its question. This prevents confusion when gathering information across multiple topics or phases.
+
+## Structured Question Format (AskUserQuestion)
+
+When asking multiple questions during discovery phases, use the `AskUserQuestion` tool to create clear, unambiguous question-answer pairs. This ensures each answer is explicitly linked to its question.
+
+### When to Use Structured Questions
+
+- **Phase entry** (Problem, Goals, UX Context, Personalization) - Ask 2-4 questions to understand each phase
+- **Clarification rounds** - When you need to dig deeper into a specific area
+- **Alternative exploration** - When asking "which approach resonates with you?"
+- **Any time asking 2+ related questions** - Prevents numbering confusion
+
+### Question Format
+
+Use the `AskUserQuestion` tool with:
+- **header**: Short label (max 12 chars) identifying the topic (e.g., "Goals", "Timeline", "Tech Stack")
+- **question**: Clear, specific question about that topic
+- **options** (for choice questions): Provide 2-4 distinct options when asking "which approach"
+- **multiSelect** (optional): Set to true if user can select multiple options
+
+### Example: Problem Phase Questions
+
+Instead of:
+```
+1. What's the core problem you're trying to solve?
+2. How does this problem affect your users?
+3. What have you already tried?
+4. What constraints do you have?
+```
+
+Use `AskUserQuestion` with:
+- Header: "Core Problem" → Question: "What's the core problem you're trying to solve?"
+- Header: "User Impact" → Question: "How does this problem affect your users?"
+- Header: "Attempted Solutions" → Question: "What have you already tried?"
+- Header: "Constraints" → Question: "What constraints do you have?"
+
+This makes it crystal clear which answer maps to which question, especially across multiple topics or phases.
+
+### Benefits
+
+- ✅ No ambiguity about which answer goes with which question
+- ✅ Each answer is labeled with its question context
+- ✅ No repeated numbering across sections
+- ✅ Professional, structured dialogue format
+- ✅ Better for complex discovery sessions with many questions

This skill sets up four key memory files (bugs, decisions, key facts, issues) and configures CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md to automatically reference and maintain them. The result is a project that remembers past decisions, solutions to problems, and important configuration details across coding sessions and across different AI tools.
+Maintain institutional knowledge for projects by establishing a structured memory system in `docs/project_notes/`. This skill sets up memory files (bugs, decisions, key facts, issues, project plan), configures CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md with memory-aware protocols, and pre-authorizes essential tools in Claude Code settings so agents work autonomously. The result is a project that remembers past decisions, solutions to problems, and important configuration details across coding sessions and across different AI tools, with agents empowered to work efficiently without permission interruptions.

+Set up `.claude/settings.local.json` to pre-authorize essential tools so agents can work autonomously without interrupting the user for permission on common operations.
+
+**File location:** `.claude/settings.local.json`
+
+**Initial content:** Copy from `references/settings_template.json`
+
+**What it does:**
+- Pre-authorizes Read, Glob, Grep for fast codebase exploration
+- Pre-authorizes WebSearch and WebFetch for research
+- Pre-authorizes Task for delegating to sub-agents
+- Pre-authorizes common git operations for version control
+- Prevents permission prompts for routine agent operations
+
+**Why this matters:**
+- **Agents move faster** - No interruptions asking for permission to read files or search the web
+- **Research is autonomous** - Research agents can explore without stopping
+- **Planning is efficient** - Magellan can research the codebase while planning
+- **Execution is coordinated** - Faraday can delegate to sub-agents seamlessly
+
+**Customization:**
+Users can customize `.claude/settings.local.json` to add or remove permissions based on their security preferences. The template provides sensible defaults for most workflows.
