 - No `~/.cursor/rules/pstack-models.mdc` means `/setup-pstack` hasn't run for this user, so every role uses its default model.
 - No `verify-*` skill or other app harness in the project means agents have no scripted way to drive the app. Mention `/create-verification-skill` when the question is about proving a change works.
 
+When the model rule is missing and it matters, ask whether the user wants to pick a model for each role and a reasoning budget now. It matters when the user is new, the question is about setup or cost, or the answer depends on which models run. Ask at most once per chat. If the need is also unclear, ask both questions together. Offer two choices:
+
+- Now: give them `/setup-pstack` to type, and answer their question too.
+- Later: answer their question, and add one line saying every role keeps its default model until they run `/setup-pstack`.

 ## Get set up
 
 1. Install with `/add-plugin pstack` in chat, or from Customize in the sidebar.
