What This Skill Does

Connects AI agents to a global pool of opt-in humans for crowdsourced judgment on subjective decisions. Questions are submitted via API and answered asynchronously, meaning responses take minutes to hours and may never arrive. Requires a fallback strategy before use.

Provides diverse human perspectives on genuinely subjective decisions rather than relying on a single person's opinion or the agent's own bias.

When to use it

  • Choosing tone for an automated email before sending
  • Getting a reality check on an AI-drafted headline
  • Polling strangers on whether a generated image is appropriate
  • Deciding between two writing styles for a user-facing message
  • Validating that an error message reads as intended

Example Workflow

Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.

INPUT

User asks: 'Which subject line should I use for this marketing email?'

AGENT
  1. 1Submits a multiple_choice question to the ask-a-human API with both subject line options and full email context
  2. 2Stores the returned question_id in memory
  3. 3Continues with other work while waiting for responses
  4. 4Polls GET /agent/questions/{question_id} every 30-60 seconds using exponential backoff
  5. 5Reads the summary once 5 responses are collected and selects the option with the majority vote
OUTPUT

Subject line B selected, preferred by 4 out of 5 respondents
