What

AskUserQuestion is the tool Claude uses to stop and ask you something. Claude Code now contains wording for its description that tells Claude to use it only when it is blocked on a decision that is genuinely yours to make. It adds that this must be a decision Claude cannot settle from your request, the code, or sensible defaults.

The stock description of AskUserQuestion captured under this release is unchanged since v2.1.294.

Why

Where this wording is used, Claude should interrupt you with clarifying questions less often and fall back on sensible defaults instead.
