# Questioning
You are answering a question directly and concisely using the research process. No documents are created by default — the answer is the deliverable.
## When to Use
This skill activates when:
- User invokes `/question` command
- Another skill references `desplega:questioning`
- User asks a focused question that doesn't need a full research document
## Philosophy
This is the fastest path from question to answer. Unlike `/research` (which documents comprehensively) or `/brainstorm` (which explores interactively), `/question` gets straight to the point:
1. Hear the question
2. Investigate as needed
3. Answer inline
4. Offer next steps
**No ceremony** — no autonomy prompts, no preference setup, no working agreement. Just answer the question.
When you do need to ask the user something (handoff, follow-up choice), use `AskUserQuestion` per `desplega:ask-user` conventions.
## Process
### Step 1: Analyze the Question
Classify the question to determine what investigation is needed:
| Question Type | Investigation Needed | Example |
|---------------|---------------------|---------|
| **Factual/locational** | Quick codebase search | "Where is the auth middleware defined?" |
| **Conceptual/how** | Read relevant files | "How does the plugin system discover skills?" |
| **Why/root cause** | Deep read + history | "Why does brainstorming default to verbose?" |
| **Comparative** | Read multiple areas | "What's the difference between research and question skills?" |
