Readme

Pi Ask User

Lets the agent stop and ask you questions in the terminal, like Claude Code's AskUserQuestion. The questionnaire renders inline in place of Pi's editor, so the transcript stays visible, and your draft editor text comes back when you're done.

Install

pi install npm:@lwlee2608/pi-ask-user

Start a new session afterward. Requires Node.js 22.19+ and Pi 1.0.0+. Don't load it alongside another extension that registers ask_user_question.

Features

  • 1–8 questions per call, each with 2–8 options. Single-select or multi-select (checkboxes).
  • Type something.: write your own answer inline, right after the options. In multi-select it can go along with checked options.
  • Chat about this: closes the questionnaire and tells the agent you want to talk it over first. Any answers and notes you've already given are sent along.
  • Notes: press n to attach a note to a question, or a global note from the review screen.
  • Previews: options can carry Markdown previews, shown beside the options on wide terminals and below them on tall ones.
  • Review: with several questions, a final tab shows all answers before you submit.
  • Safe cancel: Esc cancels. If you've entered anything, you're asked to confirm before it's discarded.
  • Type-ahead guard: keys you were typing when the questionnaire opened can't answer it by accident.
  • Small footprint: the tool declaration is about 1 KB of model context.

Keys

Key Action
↑ / ↓ Move between options
Enter Choose an option; in multi-select, toggle it
Space Toggle a multi-select option
1–9 Pick an option by number
Tab / Shift+Tab, ← / → Switch question or go to review
n Add or edit a note
PageUp / PageDown Scroll the option's preview
Ctrl+↑ / Ctrl+↓ Scroll long question text
Esc Cancel (or close the note editor)

On the Type something. row, keys type text, ←/→ move the cursor, and Enter confirms. Use Tab to leave the row.

In the note editor, Enter saves and Shift+Enter adds a newline.

Custom keybindings

Pi's own selection and editor bindings apply. You can also remap these actions in Pi's keybindings file with a key, a list of keys, or [] to disable:

Action Default
pi-ask-user.note n
pi-ask-user.previewUp pageUp
pi-ask-user.previewDown pageDown

These aren't checked for conflicts, so avoid keys Pi already uses for editing or navigation.

The tool works only in Pi's interactive terminal mode. It's hidden in print, JSON, and RPC runs.
