A question written only in a document never reaches the owner: the console's inbox is where they look. So when work produces a decision that is the owner's to make, post it as you write it, and never tell the owner a question is "waiting on you" until it is on the console.
Console Ask is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/console-ask/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use whenever work produces a question the owner must decide (a study's open questions, a lane brief's owner questions, a review trade-off) in a project registered for the owner console - post each as a lockable question so it reaches the owner's inbox, instead of leaving it in a document.
The Console Ask Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 206,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
