Suggested Responses

When Roo needs more information to complete a task, it uses the ask_followup_question tool. To make responding easier and faster, Roo often provides suggested answers alongside the question.

Overview

Suggested Responses appear as clickable buttons directly below Roo's question in the chat interface. They offer pre-formulated answers relevant to the question, helping you provide input quickly.

How It Works

1. Question Appears: Roo asks a question using the ask_followup_question tool.
2. Suggestions Displayed: If suggestions are provided by Roo, they appear as buttons below the question.
3. Interaction: You can interact with these suggestions in two ways.

Interacting with Suggestions

You have two options for using suggested responses:

1. Direct Selection:

   • Action: Simply click the button containing the answer you want to provide.
   • Result: The selected answer is immediately sent back to Roo as your response. This is the quickest way to reply if one of the suggestions perfectly matches your intent.

2. Edit Before Sending:

   • Action:
     • Hold down Shift and click the suggestion button.
     • Alternatively, hover over the suggestion button and click the pencil icon () that appears.
   • Result: The text of the suggestion is copied into the chat input box. You can then modify the text as needed before pressing Enter to send your customized response. This is useful when a suggestion is close but needs minor adjustments.

Benefits

• Speed: Quickly respond without typing full answers.
• Clarity: Suggestions often clarify the type of information Roo needs.
• Flexibility: Edit suggestions to provide precise, customized answers when needed.

This feature streamlines the interaction when Roo requires clarification, allowing you to guide the task effectively with minimal effort.
