A Go zot extension that ports the core feature and interaction model of npm:@mrclrchtr/supi-ask-user to zot: an LLM-callable ask_user tool that opens a blocking, keyboard-driven decision form.

• One focused form containing 1–10 related questions.
• Single-choice, multi-choice, and free-text questions.
• Recommendations are preselected or prefilled and remain editable.
• Choice descriptions/details are shown beside the focused option.
• Form, question, and option comments.
• A review screen before submission.
• Unanswered questions produce a needs_discussion result.
• Escape or closing the panel cancels the tool call.
• No network requests, external process, or persistent answer storage.

The panel uses zot's native extension panel API, so it works without a second TUI dependency. This is intentionally the first slice: unlike Pi's richer custom component API, zot panels currently provide lines plus key events. The interaction is therefore equivalent in behavior, while rendering remains textual.

git clone ... ../zot-question
cd ../zot-question
go build -o zot-question .
zot --ext .

Or install it:

zot ext install .

The model can then call ask_user with a payload such as:

{
  "title": "Project setup",
  "intro": "Choose the defaults for this repository.",
  "questions": [
    {
      "id": "package-manager",
      "type": "choice",
      "header": "Packages",
      "prompt": "Which package manager should be used?",
      "recommendation": "bun",
      "options": [
        {"value":"bun", "label":"Bun", "description":"Fast local installs"},
        {"value":"npm", "label":"npm", "description":"Broadest compatibility"}
      ]
    },
    {
      "id": "notes",
      "type": "text",
      "header": "Notes",
      "prompt": "What should the agent keep in mind?",
      "placeholder": "Optional context",
      "recommendation": "Prefer small, reviewable changes."
    }
  ]
}

• ↑/↓: move through options or review rows
• Space: select/toggle an option
• Enter: accept the current answer, or submit from review
• Tab: advance to the next question
• c: comment on the current question
• n: comment on the focused choice
• u: mark the question unanswered
• e: edit the focused review row; Esc: cancel

The package intentionally keeps the same public question vocabulary and limits as Supi Ask User. The model-visible result is a concise text summary, while zot's tool result remains the source of truth for the current turn. A later version can add richer structured result metadata when zot exposes a details field for extension tool results.
