Interactive Input

What it does

When your agent uses it

• User asks for quizzes
• Any structured input scenario

Example prompts

• “Use the interactive-input skill to enable rich interactive UI components in chat responses. An agent skill from sugarforever/01coder-agent-skills”
• “/interactive-input”

Workflow steps

10 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Every interactive block MUST have a unique id field
2. 2Every interactive block MUST have at least one element in card.body
3. 3Include an Action.Submit in card.actions so the user can submit their response
4. 4Use "style": "expanded" for choice sets to show all options visually (recommended for quizzes)
5. 5Use "style": "compact" for dropdown selects when there are many options
6. 6Set "isMultiSelect": true on Input.ChoiceSet for multiple-choice questions
7. 7The first TextBlock in the body is used as the question label in the submitted response
8. 8You can include multiple interactive blocks in one message (e.g., a full quiz)
9. 9Always wrap the JSON in a interactive code fence — never use json for interactive blocks
10. 10Keep the JSON compact and valid — no comments, no trailing commas

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e51fb6e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md.

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Interactive Input loads about 665 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 248 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~84

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~665

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~2.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description

Enables rich interactive UI components in chat responses. When presenting questions that require structured input (multiple choice, true/false, forms), embed interactive blocks that compatible clients render as native UI elements. Use when user asks for quizzes, exercises, surveys, or any structured input scenario.

Here's your first question:

```interactive
{
  "id": "q1",
  "card": {
    "body": [
      { "type": "TextBlock", "text": "What is the capital of France?", "weight": "bold" },
      { "type": "Input.ChoiceSet", "id": "answer", "style": "expanded",
        "choices": [
          { "title": "A. London", "value": "london" },
          { "title": "B. Paris", "value": "paris" },
          { "title": "C. Berlin", "value": "berlin" },
          { "title": "D. Madrid", "value": "madrid" }
        ]
      }
    ],
    "actions": [{ "type": "Action.Submit", "title": "Submit" }]
  }
}
```
