Token-efficient second opinion slash command /advice. Extracts decision point + artifact (≤150 lines), then fans out in parallel: (1) Opus subagent reviewer with fallback chain codex→agy→cursor, (2) /research on the decision topic, (3) /secondo multi-model opinion. Use instead of advisor() which ships the full conversation uncached.
Use this skill when working in repositories managed by Agent Orchestrator or when the user asks how to use `ao` properly. Covers the default AO workflow: bootstrap with `ao start`, dispatch work with `ao spawn`, inspect progress with `ao status` or `ao session ls`, steer sessions with `ao send`, and recover or clean up sessions safely. Includes strict parameter fidelity, pre-spawn cap cleanup, quota-wall fallback, and post-spawn verification.

When lifecycle.backfill.claim_failed errors appear in the lifecycle-worker log with:
fatal: refusing to fetch into branch 'refs/heads/BRANCH' checked out at 'PATH'
Symptom: checked out at '$HOME/project_agento/agent-orchestrator'
Diagnosis: git -C $HOME/project_agento/agent-orchestrator branch --show-current
Fix:
git -C $HOME/project_agento/agent-orchestrator checkout main
git -C $HOME/project_agento/agent-orchestrator pull --ff-only
Why it happens: An AO agent (or manual work) checked out a feature branch in the main repo and was killed before resetting to main.
Symptom: checked out at '$HOME/.worktrees/agent-orchestrator/ao-NNN'
Diagnosis: git worktree list | grep ao-NNN — if present with no live tmux session, it's a ghost
Fix:
tmux has-session -t bb5e6b7f8db3-ao-NNN 2>/dev/null || echo "Dead"
git worktree remove --force $HOME/.worktrees/agent-orchestrator/ao-NNN
Why it happens: AO session was killed without proper cleanup; worktree remained. The lifecycle-worker's sweepOrphanWorktrees auto-cleans after 6h TTL.
~/.worktrees/... → Cause Bclaim_failed_abort after 3 consecutive failures), check bothsweepOrphanWorktrees in lifecycle-worker.ts runs every 5min (orphan TTL: 6h)main before exitingGhost worktree accumulation cleaned manually twice in the same session on 2026-03-24 — this is the harness-level fix. If seeing this pattern again, the orphanTtlMs may need reduction.
