Claude Code orchestrator bug limits tool options, causes recurring errors

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer encountered a recurring bug in the Claude Code orchestrator, Suhail, where the AskUserQuestion tool's four-option limit was exceeded. This validation error caused wasted turns in the interaction, particularly when the 'Abort' option was dropped from the menu due to the cap. The issue stemmed from prompt templates that did not account for the option limit, leading to runtime failures. The developer implemented fixes by baking the cap into the template and avoiding redundant options like 'Other' which are automatically provided. AI
