User Questions

The bundled askuser plugin (version 0.2.2) gives Elowen the AskUserQuestion tool. It can ask one to four questions in a turn, each with two to four choices. A choice has a short label, usually one to five words, and a description. Elowen can allow multiple choices or a typed answer, and can recommend an option by placing it first. Typed answers are allowed by default.

In the Web UI and CLI, choices appear as interactive controls; other surfaces may ask you to reply with a number. The short header appears as a chip, up to about 12 characters before it is clipped. A choice can include a Markdown preview for comparing a mockup, code sample or configuration. It appears in a monospace panel beside the choices and works only when choosing one option at a time, not with multiple selection. Elowen may turn off the free-text option with custom: false when a typed response would be invalid.

The plugin has no settings. Question text must be unique in one request, and choice labels must be unique within each question. Your answer is returned to Elowen as one short line per question, including the selected option's preview when there is one. Elowen waits for your answer before continuing, so the turn stays paused until you respond.

Administrators manage the plugin in Settings → Plugins; select it to open its detail view. Only an administrator can enable or disable it, and it does not need an individual user grant. Enabling or disabling it takes effect after Elowen restarts.
