Problem
When using the question tool with multiple: true, there's no way to pre-select certain options as defaults. Users must manually select all desired options even when some should logically be pre-selected.

Use Cases

  1. File Selection: When asking which files to include in an operation, files that were previously selected or match certain criteria should be pre-selected
  2. Configuration Updates: When updating settings, current/existing values should be pre-selected so users only deselect what they want to remove
  3. Feature Toggles: When enabling features, commonly-used or recommended options should be pre-selected

Current Behavior
Option A (recommended) - NOT selected
Option B (recommended) - NOT selected
Option C - NOT selected
Option D - NOT selected
User must manually select each item, even obvious defaults.

Proposed Solution

Add an optional selected boolean property to question options:

{
  "questions": [{
    "header": "Select Options",
    "question": "Choose which options to include:",
    "multiple": true,
    "options": [
      { "label": "Option A", "description": "Recommended", "selected": true },
      { "label": "Option B", "description": "Recommended", "selected": true },
      { "label": "Option C", "description": "Optional" },
      { "label": "Option D", "description": "Advanced" }
    ]
  }]
}

Expected Behavior After Implementation
☑ Option A (recommended) - Pre-selected
☑ Option B (recommended) - Pre-selected
☐ Option C - Not selected (user can add)
☐ Option D - Not selected (user can add)
User only needs to adjust what they want to change.

Benefits

  • Better UX: Users see sensible defaults, only adjust what they need
  • Common pattern: Standard behavior in HTML checkboxes, form libraries, CLI tools like fzf
  • Backward compatible: selected is optional, defaults to false
  • Enables smarter workflows: AI skills can suggest intelligent defaults based on context

Environment

  • OpenCode version: 1.1.53
  • Use case: AI skills with multi-select prompts
