A first session in Claude Code

With the plugin installed, you do not call the tools yourself. Ask the way you would ask a colleague:

Do the assistants recommend Modelado to someone who wants to turn a photo into a 3D model without an NVIDIA card?

What the agent calls

1. askround_doctor, once, to see which providers have a key here. It names the key variables, never their values.
2. askround_ask, with a question a person who does not know the product would ask, products: ["Modelado,alegauss.com/modelado"] and extract: true. The schema it reads already lists only the providers with a key, your budget and what is spent.
3. It reads the brief that comes back: for each product, how many runs named it and its best position per provider, its top claims and the rivals, each fact with the ids of the answers it came from (openai#2).
4. To check one fact, askround_answer with that id and around: "<quote>" returns only the passage behind it. The whole answer is there too, when it is worth the tokens.

The skill tells it to keep runs low while exploring, to give max_cost to anything you have not agreed to, to report what the round cost, and to say that the numbers are the APIs’.

What it is refused

• A question that names the product it tests, its domain or its own wording. It would measure nothing. The agent is told to reword it; a brand question on purpose is marked so and reported apart.
• Personal data: an email address, a phone number, a CPF, a key, or a name on your own private list. One round sends the text to every provider.
• A round above max_cost, or one that would pass your day or month budget. That one waits for you: only you approve it, on the command line with --approve.

Every refusal lists all the problems at once, each with a code and its fix, before anything is sent. askround explain <code> says more about one.

Long rounds

A round of several providers and runs takes minutes. With background: true the agent gets a job id at once and keeps working; askround_job says how many answers are in, then returns the brief. Each answer is kept the moment it lands, so an interrupted job loses nothing it paid for.

The same question twice

Asked again the same way within a day, a question returns the stored round at no cost, marked with its age. fresh: true asks anew.
