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.", "body_md": "TypeScript [zot](https://www.zot.sh) extension that opens `/answer`\n\nand lets you answer numbered questions from the last assistant message in an interactive panel.\n\n- Watches\n`assistant_message`\n\nevents and stores the latest assistant text. - Registers a single slash command:\n`/answer`\n\n. - Extracts numbered questions like\n`1. <question>`\n\n,`2. <question>`\n\n,`3. <question>`\n\n. - Opens a panel with one answer field per question.\n- Type to fill the current answer.\n- Use\n`up`\n\n/`down`\n\nto move between answers. - Press\n`enter`\n\nto submit the answers as a prompt to the agent. - Press\n`esc`\n\nto cancel.\n\nThe answer text is rendered in the terminal's normal foreground color; only the `Answer:`\n\nlabel is muted.\n\nYou can also pass questions directly:\n\n```\n/answer 1. First question? 2. Second question?\nzot --ext .\n```\n\nThen use `/answer`\n\nin zot.\n\n```\nzot ext install .\n```\n\nRestart zot, or run `/reload-ext`\n\nif zot is already open.\n\nThe manifest uses:\n\n```\n\"exec\": \"npx\",\n\"args\": [\"--yes\", \"tsx\", \"index.ts\"]\n```\n\nThat avoids requiring a local package setup. If you have global `tsx`\n\n, you can change it to:\n\n```\n\"exec\": \"tsx\",\n\"args\": [\"index.ts\"]\n```\n\nMIT", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/a-zot-extension-that-makes-answering-your-coding-agent-s-questions-painless", "canonical_source": "https://github.com/patriceckhart/zot-answer", "published_at": "2026-05-31 12:24:59+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-05-31 12:46:55.765472+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "ai-agents", "ai-products"], "entities": ["zot"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/a-zot-extension-that-makes-answering-your-coding-agent-s-questions-painless", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/a-zot-extension-that-makes-answering-your-coding-agent-s-questions-painless.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/a-zot-extension-that-makes-answering-your-coding-agent-s-questions-painless.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/a-zot-extension-that-makes-answering-your-coding-agent-s-questions-painless.jsonld"}}
