### Cross-Platform User Interaction
- [ ] When a skill needs to ask the user a question, instruct use of the platform's blocking question tool and name the known equivalents (`AskUserQuestion` in Claude Code, `request_user_input` in Codex, `ask_user` in Gemini)
- [ ] Include a fallback for environments without a question tool (e.g., present numbered options and wait for the user's reply before proceeding)
- [ ] For Claude Code, also instruct to load `AskUserQuestion` via `ToolSearch` with `select:AskUserQuestion` first if its schema isn't already loaded — `AskUserQuestion` is a deferred tool and won't be available at session start. A pending schema load is not a valid reason to fall back to text.
- [ ] Include a fallback: when no blocking tool exists in the harness or the call errors (e.g., Codex edit modes where `request_user_input` is unavailable, or `ToolSearch` returns no match), present numbered options in chat and wait for the user's reply — never silently skip the question.
> **Platform-behavior note (April 2026, may change):** The specifics above reflect current behavior — `AskUserQuestion` is deferred in Claude Code, and `request_user_input` in Codex is exposed only in Plan mode. If Anthropic changes `AskUserQuestion` to a non-deferred tool, or Codex exposes `request_user_input` in edit modes, revisit this guidance rather than carrying the workaround forward indefinitely. Verify before assuming these constraints still hold.
