@raidou/pi-ask-user
An pi extension that provides the
ask_user_question tool: it lets the coding agent present one or more
multiple-choice questions to the user and collect structured answers, with a
rich TUI (options list, preview pane, scrolling and tabs).
Install
pi install npm:@raidou/pi-ask-userOr from a local checkout:
cd path/to/pi-ask-user
pi install .Subagent support
Subagent sessions can use ask_user_question too. Main and subagent sessions share one extension module instance, and only the real TUI session (ctx.mode === 'tui' && ctx.hasUI) registers as the owner; non-TUI sessions (rpc/print) never steal ownership. When a subagent asks, the tool call blocks while the question UI is rendered in the main TUI session, and the answer is returned to the subagent as the tool result (a "cancelled" result if the user cancels). Asks originating from a subagent are labelled with a subagent badge in the questionnaire UI.
Development
When started with PI_DEMO=1, the extension also registers an /ask-user-demo command that walks through the question UI (/ask-user-demo subagent previews a subagent ask).
pnpm install
