🎾 Your Serve

Lets you know when Claude is waiting on you, so you don't miss the question at the bottom of a long answer.

How it works

When a turn ends with a question, a choice between options, or a "should I also…", it shows up on the top line of the band:

🎾 Your serve: Keep the old cache or drop it?          1: Keep  2: Drop  3: Something else

Press an answer and a natural-sounding reply ("Drop the old cache.") goes straight to Claude. You can type its digit into an empty prompt or click it. If you've already started typing, the reply goes on the end of your draft instead, for you to finish and send. If there aren't any clear options, you just get the question. Either way it stays put until you send a prompt. Answers that don't ask anything produce nothing, and subagent turns are ignored.

If Claude asks several things at once, you get them one at a time, however many there are:

🎾 Your serve (2/3): What should the new timeout be?          1: 30s  2: 60s  other  skip

Each answer takes you to the next question. After the last one, they all go to Claude as a single reply:

1. Keep the old cache or drop it? Drop the old cache.
2. What should the new timeout be? Make it 30 seconds.
3. Add a retry? Yes, add a retry.

If none of the answers fit, click other and type your own. Enter answers the question with what you typed and moves on, the same as pressing an answer. If you skip a question, or press Enter on an empty other, it's left unanswered, and the replies go into your prompt instead of being sent, so you can type that answer before sending. You have to click other and skip (or reach them with Tab) because the digits after 3 belong to the other Desk Neighbours. The mobile app can't show a text field, so there you only get skip.

Nothing gets cut off. If the question and its answers don't fit on one line, the answers wrap onto the next one. Only three answers get buttons. For anything else, use other, or with a single question just type it in the prompt.

Your Serve reads the text of Claude's answer, so it won't show questions Claude asks through its own question picker. You've already got the picker in front of you anyway.

If the turn took longer than a minute, you'll also get a 🎾 Claude needs a decision toast in case you'd wandered off.

In the background

Haiku only sees answers that end with a question mark, a list of options or something phrased as a question. It picks out every question and up to three answers for each one.
