# Coach Question Library

This library turns vague prompts into low-friction clarification. It is a set of examples and priors, not a closed taxonomy. Use it to choose the highest-value question when a task matches; when it does not match, derive a new task-specific question from first principles.

## Dynamic Mapping Rule

For any task type not listed below, create the map dynamically:

```text
1. Name the user's real-world job: "They are trying to..."
2. Identify the deliverable: document, decision, action, artifact, analysis, code, message, plan, image, etc.
3. Define what would make the result good or wrong.
4. List missing information that would change the result.
5. Rank missing information by impact x likelihood missing x ease for user to answer.
6. Ask only the top-ranked question, with 2-4 concrete options.
```

Example:

```text
"帮我准备一下明天要用的东西"
-> real-world job: prepare for an event or meeting
-> deliverable: checklist
-> failure modes: wrong event, wrong audience, missing time/place/materials
-> highest-value question: "明天是什么场景？会议/出差/面试/活动"
```

## Selection Rule

Pick the missing context with the highest product of:

```text
impact on correctness x likelihood missing x ease for user to answer
```

If the user is ordinary/vague, ask one question and offer a default path. If the user is advanced and provided rich context, execute and mention only the most important assumption.
