# @deepseek-ai/dsh-user-interaction
English | [中文](README.zh.md)
Abstract user-interaction seam. It owns `ctx.userInteraction`, the service a model-facing tool or permission plugin uses when it needs to pause work and ask the human for a decision.
## Service: `UserInteractionService` (ctx key: `userInteraction`)
### Public API
- `ctx.userInteraction.registerProvider(provider): () => void` Register the UI-side provider. Only one provider may be active in a context; disposal unregisters it.
- `ctx.userInteraction.ask(request): Promise<AskUserQuestionAnswer>` Ask the active provider and wait for the answer.
### Key Types
- `AskUserQuestionRequest``{ questions: [{ id, question, detail?, header?, options?, multiSelect?, intent? }], agent?, signal? }`; `detail` supplies supporting text that providers render with the question without turning it into an option label.
- `AskUserQuestionOption``{ label, description? }`.
- `AskUserQuestionIntent``{ kind: 'plan-review', approve }`; the tagged presentation intent below.
- `AskUserQuestionAnswer``{ answers: [{ id, selected, custom? }] }`.
- `UserInteractionProvider` — UI implementation with `ask(request)`.
- `UserInteractionError``HarnessError` subclass with codes such as `EMPTY_QUESTIONS`, `BAD_INTENT`, `NO_PROVIDER`, `DUPLICATE_PROVIDER`, and `ASK_ABORTED`.
For a single-select question, `custom` overrides the selected choice and `selected` is empty. For a multi-select question, `custom` may supplement the labels in `selected`. A UI may preserve a skipped item as `{ id, selected: [] }`, keeping the existing answer shape while retaining other answers in the batch.
### Presentation intent
`intent` declares that a question IS a decision of a known shape, so a UI that recognises the tag may present it as such — `plan-review` says `detail` is a plan under review, and `dsh-plan-mode` sets it on the `exit_plan_mode` question. An intent shapes presentation only: a UI honouring it answers with the same option labels a generic UI would send, and a UI that does not know the tag renders the generic option list, so callers read one answer shape either way. `approve` names the label that approves rather than relying on option order. `ask()` rejects with `BAD_INTENT` the two assertions no type can carry: an `approve` naming none of that question's own options, and an intent on a question with no `detail` — the thing it declares itself a review of.
## Role
This is the interface package. Model-facing consumers such as `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-ask-user` depend on this seam; the Web host runtime provides the shipped interactive implementation. The loop stays unchanged: a tool call awaits a promise, and the tool result resumes the normal agent loop.
## Model Experience
Indirectly, through `dsh-tool-ask-user`, which retains a successful provider answer as compact JSON or one of these failures: `Error: ask_user_question was aborted before the user answered`, `Error: ask_user_question requires at least one question`, `Error: no user-interaction provider is registered`, or `Error: <message>`. Waiting for the human adds no tokens.
#### KV Cache effect
No direct invalidation; the named consumer owns any request-prefix changes.
## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
- **One provider per context** — there is no routing or fan-out to multiple UIs; a second registration throws `DUPLICATE_PROVIDER`, and with none registered `ask()` throws `NO_PROVIDER` rather than degrading.
- **The vocabulary is the question-form shape only** — selectable options plus optional custom text; richer interaction shapes (file pickers, diff-preview confirmations) have no seam vocabulary yet.
