Pi Ask

Interactive questionnaire tool for the Pi coding agent — structured questions with option lists, multi-select, and free-text answers.

A Pi extension that gives the model a questionnaire tool: one question renders as a simple option list, several questions render as a tab-based form with a submit summary. Based on the questionnaire example from badlogic/pi-mono.

Install

pi install npm:@eddie0521/pi-ask

Once installed and pi restarted, the model can call:

• questionnaire — ask one or more questions and collect the answers in a single tool result

Features

• Single or multi question — one question shows a plain option list; multiple questions get a tab bar (Tab/←/→ to switch) plus a Submit tab summarizing all answers
• Multi-select — allowMultiple turns a question into checkboxes (Space to toggle, Enter to confirm)
• Free-text answers — a "Type something." entry (allowOther, on by default) opens an inline editor
• Option descriptions — each option can carry a muted description line below its label
• Lightweight schema — id and option value are optional; they default to q1, q2, … and the option label

Example

A call the model might make:

{
  "questions": [
    {
      "label": "Scope",
      "prompt": "Which part should I refactor first?",
      "options": [
        { "label": "Parser", "description": "tokenizer + AST" },
        { "label": "Renderer" }
      ]
    },
    {
      "label": "Tests",
      "prompt": "Which test levels do you want?",
      "allowMultiple": true,
      "options": [{ "label": "Unit" }, { "label": "Integration" }, { "label": "E2E" }]
    }
  ]
