Ask Strategy

The Skill needs four inputs. If already provided in trigger or paper content, skip the corresponding question.

1. Target journal — required; determines which template to load. Ask if not specified.
2. Paper file or text — required; for extracting paper title and key contribution. Ask for file path or paste if not provided.
3. Correspondence author details (name, email, institution) — required; ask as a single grouped question if not provided.
4. Data/code availability — optional; are datasets or code publicly available? If yes, ask for repository URLs. Default to "Data are not publicly available" if user declines or does not know.

Rules:

• Ask at most 3 questions before proceeding.
• Use Structured Interaction when available; fall back to plain-text questions otherwise.
• If correspondence details not provided and user declines: use [Corresponding Author Name], [Email], [Institution] placeholders.

Step 0: Workflow Memory Check

• Read .planning/workflow-memory.json. If file missing or empty, skip to Step 1.
• Check if the last 1-2 log entries form a recognized pattern with ppw:cover-letter that has appeared >= threshold times in the log. See skill-conventions.md > Workflow Memory > Pattern Detection for the full algorithm.
• If a pattern is found, present recommendation via AskUserQuestion:
  • Question: "检测到常用流程：[pattern]（已出现 N 次）。是否直接以 direct 模式运行 ppw:cover-letter？"
  • Options: "Yes, proceed" / "No, continue normally"
• If user accepts: set mode to direct, skip Ask Strategy questions.
• If user declines or AskUserQuestion unavailable: continue in normal mode.
