Overview

AUQ (Ask User Questions) provides a complete toolset for human-in-the-loop AI workflows. It enables AI agents to ask multiple-choice/single-choice questions while waiting for human responses through a separate CLI window without disrupting the workflow. The server supports parallel question handling from multiple agents, question queuing, rejection with explanations, and elaboration requests. It works with MCP clients like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and others, with additional OpenCode plugin support and experimental Agent Skills integration.

Try asking AI

After installing, here are 5 things you can ask your AI assistant:

you:Clarifying ambiguous requirements in AI-assisted coding projects

you:Getting human approval before executing critical operations

you:Parallel multi-agent workflows needing human input coordination

you:Why use AUQ instead of built-in questioning tools?

you:Does AUQ work with remote development setups?

When to choose this

Choose AUQ when you need advanced human-in-the-loop capabilities for multi-agent workflows, especially when you want non-invasive CLI interaction with support for complex question types and remote usage.

When NOT to choose this

Don't choose AUQ if you need simpler, one-off questions without queuing capabilities, or if you prefer in-editor UI interaction rather than a separate CLI window for answering questions.
