# Interactive Command Patterns

Comprehensive guide to creating commands that gather user feedback and make decisions through the AskUserQuestion tool.

## Overview

Some commands need user input that doesn't work well with simple arguments. For example:
- Choosing between multiple complex options with trade-offs
- Selecting multiple items from a list
- Making decisions that require explanation
- Gathering preferences or configuration interactively

For these cases, use the **AskUserQuestion tool** within command execution rather than relying on command arguments.
