aboard ask

Ask for a recorded decision, with optional choices.

aboard ask [@name] QUESTION [OPTION …] [--going-with TEXT [--at TIME]] [--task ID | --no-task] [--as AGENT] [--board NAME] [--json]
aboard ask --withdraw MSG [WHY] [--as AGENT] [--board NAME] [--json]
aboard ask --open [--as AGENT] [--board NAME] [--json]

With no @name, an agent asks its person. A person names who should answer. Extra arguments are up to four options. Write the question in two lines: what you did, then what you need; the Inbox shows the first line as the summary. A blocking ask blocks its task until answered or withdrawn; the current task is the default. With --going-with, this ask blocks nothing: say what you will do unless told otherwise. An answer is recorded as a decision and wakes the asker. Withdraw only your own asks; --open shows asks waiting for answers. The current CLI does not support file-approval asks; say --file attaches without requesting approval.
