Ask artifact questions, not vibe questions
A vibe question sounds like: is this good? An artifact question sounds like: which source supports this claim? Which field is missing? Which selector is too broad? Which trace header should follow the request?
Readers ramp faster when every question has an object they can inspect. It lets them disagree productively because they are arguing over evidence, not taste.
For advanced work, artifact questions become test cases. If the group cannot point at the evidence, a release gate or agent workflow should not pretend it can.
Aha moment
A review gets sharper when the question points to an artifact everyone can inspect together.
Try this
Replace one vague question like is this good with three artifact questions about a source, field, route, or tool argument.
Watch for
- Questions that invite preferences instead of evidence
- Artifacts hidden behind summary language
- Readers unable to point at the same object
