pi-ask-complete

Model-guided ask_user questions for the Pi coding agent.

The extension tells the model to use ask_user for decisions, preferences, confirmations, and clarifying questions instead of dumping multiple-choice prompts into chat. Answers come back as structured JSON. The transcript stays visible the whole time.

• Single-select and multi-select questions
• Free-form answers on every question (Type something.)
• Optional descriptions and side-by-side previews
• Multiple questions with tabs and a final review screen
• Required or skippable questions
• Bottom-panel UI that keeps the transcript visible
• Structured JSON answers returned to the model
• Herdr attention notification when the panel waits in a background pane

pi install npm:@itc-steve/pi-ask-complete

From a local checkout:

pi install /path/to/pi-ask-complete

Run /reload after installation.

ask_user({
  questions: [
    {
      header: "Which layout?",
      tab: "Layout",
      prompt: "Choose the default page layout.",
      options: [
        { label: "Grid", description: "Dense overview of many items." },
        { label: "List", description: "More detail for each item." }
      ],
      allowSkip: false
    }
  ]
})

Every question also includes a Type something. row. The tool returns structured JSON with the user's selections, custom answers, skipped questions, cancellation state, and optional note.
