+### Questions from your agent
+
+An agent working in your terminal or IDE stops to ask you things: which way to go,
+whether to do something risky, ideas it had along the way. A handed-off run can't
+do that, because it runs unattended. So the brief gives **every** agent (Claude,
+Codex, Aider, Gemini, Cursor, whatever you run) a way to ask anyway. It writes
+**`.symbiot/QUESTIONS.md`**:
+
+```markdown
+## Questions
+### Keep the old config format working?
+Reading both costs about 40 lines.
+- Yes, read both (recommended)
+- No, migrate once and drop it
+
+## Suggestions
+- Add a --json flag to drift
+```
+
+Up to five questions show on that agent's block in the **Agents** tab, each with
+its options and room for your own answer, alongside its ideas. **Send answers &
+continue** appends your answers to `.symbiot/ANSWERS.md` and runs your agent
+command again so the agent carries on with them. **Save only** keeps them for the
+next run. **+ task** adds an idea to your Tasks for that repo. The agent is told to
+keep going with everything that doesn't depend on an answer, and to ask instead of
+doing anything destructive. Both files live in `.symbiot/`, so they're never
+committed.

+```
+
+Much of a week's work happens over email, so Week and Standup can include **what
+you sent**. There's no Gmail or Outlook API, no OAuth, no app to register and no
+password. Symbiot reads the mail a desktop client already keeps on your computer,

+- **Thunderbird** (Linux, macOS, Windows, including Snap and Flatpak installs),
+  **Apple Mail**, **Evolution**, **KMail**, and **mutt/neomutt** or any
+  `~/Maildir` / `~/mail` are found automatically. Symbiot only looks at their
+  **Sent** folders.
+- **Webmail only?** Add an export. Google Takeout gives you an `.mbox`, and Symbiot
+  keeps just the messages with Gmail's *Sent* label (or from one of your
+  addresses). You can also point it at any `.mbox` file or a folder of `.eml`
+  files.

+It reads **headers only** (date, recipients, subject), never a message body. It's
+**off until you switch it on**, in Settings (*Email*) or with `symbiot mail --on`.
+**Preview** shows exactly what a write-up would see. On macOS, reading Apple Mail
+needs Full Disk Access for your terminal. Outlook for Windows keeps mail in `.pst`
+files, which Symbiot can't read, so export to `.mbox` or use Thunderbird.
