the Claude hook that audits the question I was about to ask 👇🏻 It doesn’t matter if you’ve been building for 10 years or you’re 2 weeks in, we all get stuck on surface questions when the real one is hiding underneath. I built this into a hook so it runs automatically, and you can use it as a one-time prompt or build it into your setup permanently. the prompt: “Before answering: look at the last 10 things I’ve asked you, what pattern is forming? What question am I really trying to figure out but haven’t asked directly? Then pretend you’re me 6 months from now, looking back at this conversation. What would future-me wish I had asked instead? Surface both, then answer.” how to make it a hook (Claude Code only): 1. mkdir -p .claude/hooks 2. create .claude/hooks/AskBetter.md 3. paste the prompt inside 4. save now it runs every time you ask something substantial. if you’re not on Claude Code, just save the prompt somewhere and paste it the next time you feel like you’re not getting what you need. the first time I ran this, Claude told me I’d been asking 8 different versions of the same question, I didn’t need a better answer, I needed to admit I was stuck on the wrong problem.
