Add /ask — Side questions without polluting conversation history #694

@PureWeen

Description

@PureWeen

Summary

The CLI's /ask command lets users ask a quick side question that doesn't get added to the conversation history. Useful for clarifying something without derailing the main task.

CLI Behavior

  • /ask <question> — answer appears but doesn't enter the session history
  • The agent's context window is not consumed by side questions

Proposed Implementation

  1. "Quick Ask" button or keyboard shortcut (Cmd+Shift+A)
  2. Overlay/modal for the side question — visually distinct from main conversation
  3. Response appears in a toast or popover — not in the main chat flow
  4. No history pollution — the question and answer are ephemeral

Priority: 🟢 LOW
