## User Input Tools
When this skill prompts the user, follow this tool-selection rule (priority order):
1. **Prefer built-in user-input tools** exposed by the current agent runtime — e.g., `AskUserQuestion`, `request_user_input`, `clarify`, `ask_user`, or any equivalent.
2. **Fallback**: if no such tool exists, emit a numbered plain-text message and ask the user to reply with the chosen number/answer for each question.
3. **Batching**: if the tool supports multiple questions per call, combine all applicable questions into a single call; if only single-question, ask them one at a time in priority order.
Concrete `AskUserQuestion` references below are examples — substitute the local equivalent in other runtimes.
| 3 | `$HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-danger-x-to-markdown/EXTEND.md` | User home |
| Result | Action |
|--------|--------|
| Found | Read, parse, apply settings |
| Not found | **MUST** run first-time setup (see below) — do NOT silently create defaults |
**EXTEND.md supports**: Download media by default, default output directory.
### First-Time Setup (BLOCKING)
**CRITICAL**: When EXTEND.md is not found, you **MUST use `AskUserQuestion`** to ask the user for their preferences before creating EXTEND.md. **NEVER** create EXTEND.md with defaults without asking. This is a **BLOCKING** operation — do NOT proceed with any conversion until setup is complete.
Use `AskUserQuestion` with ALL questions in ONE call:
**Question 1** — header: "Media", question: "How to handle images and videos in tweets?"
- "Ask each time (Recommended)" — After saving markdown, ask whether to download media
- "Always download" — Always download media to local imgs/ and videos/ directories
- "Never download" — Keep original remote URLs in markdown
