ask sends one prompt to a model through Nito and returns the answer inside your current chat. continue follows up on that same exchange. Both make at most one Nito call.
ask is a normal turn in your harness chat, so your harness model can see the ask prompt and answer. It is a “second opinion,” not a private one. When a prompt must stay out of the harness’s request, use private instead.

The result is labeled with the environment, model, privacy level, and context scope, for example Nito · Hosted · z-ai/glm-5.2 · private · Prompt only.

​
What the Harness Can See

By default ask sends only your prompt to Nito, and the exchange stays in your harness chat where the harness model can see it. Turning Context on lets ask include a short harness-generated summary of the task; nothing is sent that you did not enable.

​
Continue

continue reuses the immediately preceding Nito exchange (that prompt and answer) plus your new prompt, and nothing else from the conversation. It is for following up without re-pasting.
If the preceding Nito exchange is unavailable or ambiguous, continue does nothing and asks you to use ask instead. Passing --model overrides the model for the follow-up.

​
Next

Pick which model answers with Choosing a Model, or keep a question out of your harness entirely with private.
