 Optionally provide a "title" to label the dialog (defaults to "Question").
 
-### Presenting choices with options (preferred for decisions)
-
-Provide "options" — a list of {label, description} objects — to present clickable choices.
-The user can select from the list or type a custom answer.
-- Put the recommended option first and append "(Recommended)" to its label.
-- Set "multiple": true to allow selecting more than one option.
-- Do NOT include catch-all options like "Other" — a custom text input is always available.
+Optionally provide a JSON schema to structure the expected response (object, primitive, or enum types).
+If no schema is provided, the user can type a free-form response.
 
-Example with options:
-{"message": "Which base image strategy?", "options": [{"label": "Alpine multi-stage (Recommended)", "description": "Smallest image size, widely used"}, {"label": "Distroless runtime", "description": "No shell, minimal attack surface"}, {"label": "Scratch with static binary", "description": "Absolute minimum, requires CGO_ENABLED=0"}]}
-
-### Structured input with schema (for forms)
-
-Provide a JSON "schema" to collect structured data (object, primitive, or enum types).
-If neither options nor schema is provided, the user can type a free-form response.
+Example schema for multiple choice:
+{"type": "string", "enum": ["option1", "option2"], "title": "Select an option"}
 
 Example schema for structured input:
 {"type": "object", "properties": {"name": {"type": "string"}}, "required": ["name"]}
 
-### Response format
-
-Response contains "action" (accept/decline/cancel) and "content" (user data, only when accepted).
-When options are used, content has "selection" (array of selected labels) or "custom" (user-typed text).`
