AskMe CLI Confirmation

by rhyspenn

Gives the assistant a way to stop and ask: it opens a terminal prompt, you type the next step, and the answer goes back into the same conversation.

Summary
One tool, and it buys back the turn where the assistant would have guessed.

The value is in when it gets called, not in what it does: add a rule telling the assistant to ask before ending a response, and long unattended runs turn into checkpoints where you redirect the work instead of reviewing it afterwards. Because the answer can include an image, a screenshot is a valid reply — useful when what is wrong is easier to show than to describe.

What it is

A confirmation endpoint. The assistant reports what it just did and waits; a terminal UI opens on your machine, and whatever you type — text or an image — comes back as the tool's result.

What you get
  • One call that pauses the assistant and asks you what to do next, taking a summary of the work just completed as its argument
  • Your reply returned into the conversation, with text and image input both supported
  • The prompt raised in the terminal app you already use — Warp, iTerm2, macOS Terminal, Kitty, Alacritty or Hyper
Requirements

Nothing to authorize; it runs as npx askme-cli. ASKME_CLI_TERMINAL picks the terminal it opens in — warp is the default, with iterm2, terminal, kitty, alacritty and hyper also supported. It expects a terminal it can open on the machine running the server, so it suits a local assistant rather than a remote one, and Windows support is not yet confirmed by the author. MIT.

Setup effort

One command — npx askme-cli
