ask-constraints

The ask-constraints skill conducts a structured dialogue to identify non-negotiable boundaries for a research project across any domain, including target venues, methodological preferences, areas to avoid, team requirements, and ethical constraints. Use this when beginning a research planning process to establish hard limits that will guide subsequent work and ensure the research aligns with the user's institutional, professional, or personal requirements.

# Ask Constraints

Identify non-negotiable constraints.

## Execution

Dialogue — inline, no subagent.

## What to Ask About (one at a time)

- Target venue/journal (if any)
- Methodology preferences (empirical? theoretical? both?)
- Areas to explicitly avoid
- Advisor/team hard requirements
- Ethical/legal constraints

## Key Behavior

Not limited to ML/AI. Works for any research domain. Some users have no constraints — that's a valid answer.

## Output

Constraints section of ActorProfile.
