Use whenever work produces a question the owner must decide (a study's open questions, a lane brief's owner questions, a review trade-off) in a project registered for the owner console - post each as a lockable question so it reaches the owner's inbox, instead of leaving it in a document.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Put the owner's questions on the console

A question written only in a document never reaches the owner: the console's
inbox is where they look. So when work produces a decision that is the owner's
to make, **post it** as you write it, and never tell the owner a question is
"waiting on you" until it is on the console.

Set up `KIT`, `STATE` and `A` as in the console-process skill: from the
user's registry only, and stop if this project is not registered there. In an
unregistered project, ask in the conversation instead.

**When the console has a steward (0.8.3)**, every session but the steward's
posts its questions here, never with AskUserQuestion: the plugin blocks that
tool in those sessions and points here. Sign the posts (`A` with `--as
NAME`). The steward may ask the owner live, and then mirrors the question and
the owner's answer here (`A ask`, then `A reply ITEM` with the answer), so
every decision reaches the console either way.

## 1. Keep the document as the source

The study, brief or spec that raised the question keeps its full text. The
console carries the decision: the question, its options, the recommendation.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mikeheid/console-kit/console-ask@sha256:c2a42dfe357c1810

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261001.2d27e94, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
