A zot extension that makes answering your coding agent's questions painless

A new TypeScript zot extension called `/answer` allows users to respond to numbered questions from an AI coding agent's last message directly in an interactive terminal panel. The tool extracts questions formatted as numbered lists, provides individual answer fields, and submits responses as prompts to the agent, streamlining the back-and-forth workflow for developers.

TypeScript zot extension that opens /answer

and lets you answer numbered questions from the last assistant message in an interactive panel.

  • Watches assistant_message

events and stores the latest assistant text. - Registers a single slash command: /answer

. - Extracts numbered questions like 1. <question>

,2. <question>

,3. <question>

. - Opens a panel with one answer field per question.

  • Type to fill the current answer.
  • Use up

/down

to move between answers. - Press enter

to submit the answers as a prompt to the agent. - Press esc

to cancel.

The answer text is rendered in the terminal's normal foreground color; only the Answer:

label is muted.

You can also pass questions directly:

/answer 1. First question? 2. Second question?
zot --ext .

Then use /answer

in zot.

zot ext install .

Restart zot, or run /reload-ext

if zot is already open.

The manifest uses:

"exec": "npx",
"args": ["--yes", "tsx", "index.ts"]

That avoids requiring a local package setup. If you have global tsx

, you can change it to:

"exec": "tsx",
"args": ["index.ts"]
