• Current published AO/SO runtime release version: 0.4.0.
• This is the exact shared AO/SO release-set version; it is not a feature-availability claim.

Use this skill first for agent-facing clarification and structured user input. Its contract is standalone: it accepts questions from the calling agent, starts an ask session through an AO or SO runtime binary, and returns validated answers and a receipt. It does not require or create a WorkflowInstance, an AskUser node, an active workflow wait, or a workflow context. When multiple questions are already knowable, put them in one ordered form and collect one submission; ask later only for genuinely dependent follow-up.

XO Ask and Its Consumers

XO Ask is shorthand for the shared ask capability exposed by either the existing AgentOrchestrator (AO) or SkillOrchestrator (SO) apphost. It is not a third product, package family, or xo.exe binary.
