What it does

Call Leading Question Guard is an agent skill from CALLE-AI/awesome-phone-call-agents. Offline heuristic CALL-E phone call transcript skill that classifies agent questions into leading forms (tag questions, negative interrogatives, presupposition triggers, coercive framing), flags values affirmed under leading forms as tainted elicitation, and emits a neutral-elicitation goal template. It is not proof an answer was coerced, intent detection, or authorization to act automatically.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/example-transcript-leading-untainted.json`, `references/example-transcript-neutral.json` and `references/example-transcript.json`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Meeting notes and agendas. The repository describes itself as: Portable phone-call Agent Skills, apps, examples, adapters, and scheduler recipes for AI agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Meeting notes and agendas

Example prompts

  • “/call-leading-question-guard”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 38d4118. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Call Leading Question Guard loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 106 tokens; SKILL.md has 525 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~106
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

call-leading-question-guard

A leading question does not ask - it instructs the answer, then collects a signature.

How a question is worded shapes what comes back. "What day works best for you?" and "You can pick up on Friday, right?" are both questions, but only one hands the person a decision; the other hands them a form to sign. On a phone call, where answers are spoken and immediately acted on, that wording pressure can end up driving bookings and record updates. This skill grades the agent's interrogation wording, not the callee's answers.

When To Use

  • after any CALL-E call where the agent elicits decisions (dates, times, amounts, plan choices) from the person
  • when a recorded value was affirmed immediately after an agent question and you want to know how the question was framed
  • before placing calls, to craft a neutral-elicitation goal that opens open-form and confirms in bounded closed form
  • as a review aid alongside sibling conduct skills on the same transcript

When Not To Use

  • on the callee's questions - only agent turns are scanned
  • to prove coercion; a flagged form is not proof the answer was coerced, and a confident person may genuinely agree - the card routes to review, always
  • during a call; strictly post-call analysis plus pre-call goal crafting
  • non-English transcripts; the form families are English lexical patterns

Workflow

Audit a finished call
bash
python3 scripts/leading_question_guard.py analyze \
  --transcript path/to/call-result.json

Reads the real get_call_run result shape ({status, result: {transcript}}) or the flat fixture shape used by sibling skill fixtures; no goal file is needed. Emits a card:

  • questions[]: every agent question sentence, classified as TAG / NEGATIVE_INTERROGATIVE / PRESUPPOSITION / COERCIVE (leading) or OPEN / CLOSED (neutral)
  • tainted_elicitation[]: values the callee affirmed (affirmation word plus a weekday, ordinal date, amount, or clock time in the same turn) within two turns of a leading question - candidates for neutral re-confirmation, never auto-invalidations
  • verdict: NEUTRAL_ELICITATION / LEADING_QUESTIONS_DETECTED / LEADING_TAINTED / NO_QUESTIONS_ASKED, plus unclear paths (empty transcript, no agent turns)
Show full SKILL.md (212 more words)Show less
Craft the neutral goal
bash
python3 scripts/leading_question_guard.py craft --scenario neutral-elicitation

Emits the plan_call inputs JSON whose goal opens with an open question, lets the person answer in their own words, confirms in bounded closed form, and never re-asks a declined question in leading form.

Citation notes recorded during verification: both citations above were web-verified on 2026-10-01 with the exact journal/DOI and arXiv IDs as listed. This skill compares lexical question forms only, has no access to intent or tone, and labels every output analysis_mode: "heuristic".

Differences from sibling skills

  • call-sycophancy-guard catches the agent folding under the person's pushback; this skill catches the agent structuring questions to manufacture agreement in the first place.
  • call-agent-certainty-calibrator grades assertion wording; this skill grades interrogation wording.
  • call-review checks result-field support and compliance; question FORM is out of its scope.
