Hunch

Quality score: 80/100 · Category: General · Sub-category: general-misc

Surface the agent''s in-progress guesses about where the operator is heading — what they care about, what they are circling, what the implicit destination might be — and turn those guesses into questions the operator can confirm, correct, or reject. Closes the gap between what the operator has explicitly stated (vision) and what the agent has picked up from their conversation, reactions, and emphasis. USE WHEN: vision feels thin or stale, the operator is exploring rather than executing, the agent suspects it is missing implicit direction, or before a long autonomous run that will drift if the destination is unclear.
