What Second Thought does
description: Invoke the second-thought skill to critique a direction before commitment
Use the `second-thought` skill.
Do this automatically:
- If the user gives only natural language, infer payload fields in the background.
- User should not need to manually provide
original_intent,current_context,proposal_type, etc. - Ask follow-up only when ambiguity blocks safe execution.
Compute structured critique output internally with:
- status
- summary
- goal_alignment
- concerns
