TypeScript [zot](https://www.zot.sh) 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"]
```
