ask

> Ported from oh-my-codex `ask`. OMX runtime conventions (`$macro` invocation, `omx` CLI, `.omx/` state directory) are replaced with WorkBuddy idioms (Skill tool, Agent tool, task list, `.workbuddy/memory`). # Ask (Local Advisor CLI) Use a locally installed external advisor CLI for focused questions, reviews, brainstorming, or second opinions. This skill replaces the separate `ask-claude` and `ask-gemini` skills. ## Usage Invoke with a backend and a question or task, for example: ``` ask claude <question or task> ask gemini <question or task> ``` ## Backend selection - Use `claude` when the user asks for Claude, Anthropic, or the previous `ask-claude` behavior. - Use `gemini` when the user asks for Gemini or the previous `ask-gemini` behavior. - If no backend is specified, choose the installed backend that best matches the user request; if neither is clearly available, explain that a local CLI is required. ## Local CLI commands Claude: ```bash claude -p "{{ARGUMENTS}}" ``` Gemini: ```bash gemini -p "{{ARGUMENTS}}" ``` If needed, adapt to the user's installed CLI variant while keeping local execution as the default path. Do not silently switch to an MCP or remote provider when the local binary is missing. ## Artifact requirement After local execution, save a markdown artifact under a project-relative path: ```text .omw/ask/ask-<backend>-<slug>-<timestamp>.md ``` Minimum artifact sections: 1. Original user task 2. Backend and final prompt sent to the CLI 3. Raw CLI output 4. Concise summary 5. Action items / next steps Task: {{ARGUMENTS}}
