ask-user-question

Use a structured form approach where the agent emits a JSON object describing fields such as selects, inputs, and date pickers, then renders it for the user. This Skill defines that schema and passes it through the ask_user_question tool.

The form supports five field types: input for free text, select for single choice, multi_select for multiple choices, date for a calendar day, and datetime for a specific point in time. Fields can be combined in one form.

The Skill recommends 1 to 5 fields per form and only asking for information strictly required to complete the task. Select and multi-select controls are preferred over free-text inputs to reduce user effort.

Field names must be lowercase English with underscores, matching the pattern ^[a-z][a-z0-9_]*$. This keeps submitted answers machine-readable and consistent for downstream task processing.

The agent should not ask when the missing information can be reasonably inferred from conversation context. The Skill triggers only when required details are genuinely unavailable and guessing would risk incorrect task execution.
