Summary
The CLI's /ask command lets users ask a quick side question that doesn't get added to the conversation history. Useful for clarifying something without derailing the main task.
CLI Behavior
/ask <question> — answer appears but doesn't enter the session history
- The agent's context window is not consumed by side questions
Proposed Implementation
- "Quick Ask" button or keyboard shortcut (Cmd+Shift+A)
- Overlay/modal for the side question — visually distinct from main conversation
- Response appears in a toast or popover — not in the main chat flow
- No history pollution — the question and answer are ephemeral
Priority: 🟢 LOW
