pi-umbra-ask
Gives the model ask_user_question, a tool that puts a multiple-choice question on screen and
waits for your answer. Without it, a model at a fork either picks for you or ends the turn to
ask.
pi install npm:pi-umbra-ask

Everything the model sends and everything you type is stripped of control and bidi characters before it is drawn, so no text can rewrite the screen around it.
When pi runs without a terminal UI, as with pi -p, the tool is left out of the model's
tool list.
