ask_followup_question

The ask_followup_question utility facilitates two-way collaboration. Sypha utilizes this tool to resolve ambiguities or to request a specific design preference when several viable implementation paths exist.

Parameters

• question (required): The primary text of the inquiry.
• follow_up (optional): An array of 2-4 suggested response buttons to enable rapid user feedback.

Logic Workflow

Rather than proceeding with assumptions that could result in architectural errors, Sypha pauses to obtain your direct input. These queries are often enhanced with Intelligent Suggestions, which you can select to provide an instant reply.

Interaction Examples

Selecting a Technical Path

<ask_followup_question>
  <question>Which data management strategy should be applied to this module?</question>
  <follow_up>
    <suggest>Redux Toolkit</suggest>
    <suggest>React Context API</suggest>
    <suggest>Zustand</suggest>
  </follow_up>
</chat_followup_question>

Strategic Benefits

• Effortless Feedback: Clicking a suggested response button drastically reduces the need for manual typing.
• Proactive Integrity: Prevents the AI from deviating from your intended architecture during complex, long-duration tasks.
• Integrated Collaboration: Creates a seamless, conversational flow that mirrors a natural pair-programming environment.

[!NOTE] Suggestions are entirely optional; you are always free to ignore them and provide a detailed custom response directly in the chat interface.
