Your agent asks you a question — and acts on your answer.

Name

awask — Your agent asks you a question — and acts on your answer.

The problem it solves

A decision buried in terminal prose is a stream event — it scrolls past, and the agent either stalls waiting for someone who is not reading, or guesses and does days of the wrong work. Every agent framework can print a question; almost none can carry the ANSWER back into the run that asked it, so the human is a bottleneck exactly when they are least able to be one.

Instead of trusting / you check

instead of trusting
that anyone read the paragraph where you asked
you check
the ask itself, with a button that steers the session that raised it

Adopt it alone

Ask a human a question from a script, and keep working on their answer.

It also judges whether the runner pool is big enough for the queue it is draining, and can ask a host to grow it -- reserving capacity is zero-sum, so a saturated pool needs more of it, not a different share of it.

The ecosystem this belongs to

Every Aitherium repository publishes an aither-manifest.json beside its page, and each surface reads all of them — so the network is browsable from any node in it.
