Matt Pocock shares /wait-what prompt to surface an agent's scattered questions
mattpocockuk · x · 2026-10-08
Matt Pocock shares a daily prompt trick: after an agent has run autonomously for hours, asking it "/wait-what questions did you have for me" surfaces all the questions it scattered throughout its context window. Handy for collecting and answering the backlog of pending questions when you finally take over a long-running agent session.
