Extracts questions from the last assistant message, lets you answer them in a terminal UI, and compiles the responses back into the chat. Trigger with /answer.

Install

pi install npm:@petechu/pi-answer-studio
/reload

Usage

1. Run /answer after an assistant message that contains questions.
2. Answer each question in the UI.
3. Press Ctrl+R or finish the last question to enter review.
4. Press Enter on the review screen to submit.

Keys

Key	Action
