Best Practices

Always provide a custom style for consistency
Add validation to text inputs
Use Choice objects for cleaner value mapping
Handle None returns (user cancellation)
Group related prompts into form functions
Use icons for visual appeal
Provide sensible defaults
Add confirmation for destructive actions
