pi-ask-user-question

Native ask_user_question extension for Pi Coding Agent. Simple single questions use Pi's built-in dialogs; grouped forms and advanced fields use one atomic ctx.ui.custom() form.

Install

pi install npm:@josephyoung/pi-ask-user-question

To install directly from GitHub instead, use pi install git:github.com/josephyoung/pi-ask-user-question.

The package supports @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent versions >=0.80.2 <0.81.0.

Tool behavior

• Single text, textarea, static single-choice, and confirmation questions route to input, editor, select, and confirm respectively.
• Multiple choice, date, tree selection, remote options, and every grouped form route to ctx.ui.custom().
• Grouped answers are submitted atomically and keyed by question identity.
• Remote sources support GET/POST, params, search, pagination, mapping, headers, cookies, relative endpoints, and field-local retry.
• Cancellation returns { "status": "cancelled" }; Agent abort remains an execution error.

Relative remote endpoints require dataSourceBaseUrl in the tool call. This is request context, not Pi or project configuration.

Verify

npm run typecheck
npm run test:unit
npm run test:acceptance
npm test

The acceptance suite creates temporary project and Pi-state directories, installs a snapshot of this package through a real Git URL, launches the system pi executable in a PTY, and removes all temporary resources afterward.
