What is twq?

twq, short for Task With Questions, is a small skill for Claude Code that changes how Claude handles a request. Normally an AI assistant fills in gaps in your instructions with its own assumptions. This skill instead makes Claude pause, study your task, and ask you clarifying questions first, over as many rounds as needed, before it starts doing any actual work. You trigger it by typing a task prefixed with the command, like slash twq refactor the auth module to support SSO. Claude then studies that request, asks one or more rounds of clarifying questions through its built in question interface, waits for your answers, and only then proceeds to complete the task using the decisions you gave it rather than its own guesses. The entire skill is a single file called SKILL.md, which is really just a prompt template with a small amount of configuration at the top. That configuration ensures the skill only runs when you explicitly type the command yourself, never automatically, and it pre-approves the specific question tool the skill depends on. Installing it means cloning the repository and copying or linking that one file into your personal Claude Code skills folder, which makes it available across all your projects. You can also place it inside a specific project's own skills folder and commit it, so it becomes available to anyone who collaborates on that project. The project is released under the Unlicense, meaning it is placed in the public domain and you can do whatever you want with it, including commercial use, without any restrictions.
