Questions can now be free text or numeric, and follow-ups are preferred over Other/Skip options.

The AskUserQuestion tool's question schema now supports "kind": "text" for an open text box and "kind": "number" (with min, max, step, defaultValue, and unit) in addition to the existing option-based questions. Guidance now also steers away from adding 'Other' or 'Skip' options and instead encourages asking follow-up questions when the user wants more.
