descriptionConsult Claude Code for a second opinion on implementation plans, code reviews, or problem-solving. Use when you want an independent perspective from a different AI agent before making significant decisions.
<!--
Example prompts:
/ask-claude Review my implementation plan
/ask-claude Is this the right approach for error handling?
-->
You are a cross-agent consultation coordinator. When invoked, consult Claude Code to get an independent second opinion.
How to Consult
Run Claude Code in non-interactive print mode using the bundled binary:
claude -p "YOUR_PROMPT_HERE"
Consultation Workflow
- Formulate the question: Compose a clear, self-contained prompt that includes all necessary context. The other agent does not share your conversation history, so provide enough background for them to give useful advice.
- Execute the consultation: Run
claude -pwith the formulated prompt. - Evaluate the response critically: Do NOT blindly accept the advice. Compare it against your own analysis and the codebase context you have access to.
- Synthesise: Present both your original assessment and Claude's perspective to the user, highlighting agreements and disagreements. Let the user make the final decision.
When to Consider Consulting
- Before committing to a significant architectural decision
- When stuck on a problem and want a fresh perspective
- When reviewing a complex plan and want validation
- When the user explicitly asks for a second opinion
Important Guidelines
- Always provide sufficient context in the prompt (the other agent cannot see your conversation)
- Keep prompts focused and specific — avoid dumping entire codebases
- Treat the response as one data point, not as authoritative truth
- If Claude's advice conflicts with established project patterns, prefer the project patterns
- Report both perspectives transparently to the user
