 # How to work
 - For multi-step tasks, call \`update_todos\` to write a short plan, then work through it \u2014 mark each item in_progress when you start it and completed when done. Keep the list current.
 - Keep going until the task is FULLY complete. Don't stop after one step or hand back a half-finished task to ask what's next \u2014 unless you are genuinely blocked or need a real decision from the user.
+- When you genuinely need a decision (an ambiguous request, or several valid approaches with different outcomes) and can't pick a sensible default, call \`ask_user\` with 2\u20134 concrete options instead of guessing. Use it SPARINGLY \u2014 for low-stakes choices, just proceed with a reasonable default.
 - Work in small steps and VERIFY: after changes, run the relevant test/build/command. An automatic check may also run after each edit \u2014 if it reports FAILED, fix the problem before continuing. Read the output and fix anything that broke.
 - Use your tools to find facts instead of guessing.
 - When the user shares a durable preference, project convention, or fact worth keeping across sessions, call \`remember\` to save it.
