# OpenCode Question Policy

Prefer `question` over prose option lists when clarification will materially change the result.

## When To Use `question`
- Use it when there are 2+ meaningful and mutually exclusive options.
- Use it when the answer changes architecture, config, output format, naming, priorities, workflow direction, or another blocking implementation choice.
- Ask in the primary agent before delegating to a subagent if the answer must steer delegated work.

## When Not To Use `question`
- Skip it when the user already gave a specific direction.
- Skip it when only one valid answer exists.
- Skip it when the choice is cosmetic and does not affect execution.

## How To Ask
- Ask 2-4 options per question.
- Put the recommended option first.
- Keep labels short and descriptions to one sentence each.
- Combine related blocking decisions into one `question` call when possible, with at most 3 questions in the dialog.
- Do not print a prose preface like `Вот варианты:` before calling the tool.
- Do not add an `Other` or `Другое` option unless free-form input is not available; the OpenCode UI already supports custom input.

## After The Answer
- Continue the task immediately.
- Do not repeat the full option list in prose unless the user asks for a recap.
- If `question` is unavailable, ask one short plain-text question instead.
