Ask User Question
A structured interaction tool in Claude Code's planning mode that presents a list of questions to confirm design details with the user item by item. It facilitates human-AI collaboration in refining plans and serves as a requirements-review mechanism during the planning phase.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The Ask User Question tool pops up a set of structured questions in the interface, confirming design details with the user one by one.
The Ask User Question tool works in both the graphical interface and the CLI.
Claude sometimes spontaneously triggers Ask User Question prompts but does not always do so, which is why Lydia prefers to explicitly instruct the model to use this tool in the prompt.
Pressing Esc in the middle of an Ask User Question session exits the entire flow, which is equivalent to declining to answer all of the questions.
Ask User Question 本质上是一个特殊的 Tool，当模型调用它时框架会暂停 Agent 执行循环，将问题展示给用户等待输入后再注入上下文继续执行
The Ask User Question mechanism allows an Agent to proactively ask users questions to fill in missing context when the prompt information is insufficient.
When a large model finds insufficient information in the prompt, the Ask User Question mechanism allows it to proactively ask the user questions to fill contextual gaps.
