Use when the user runs /ontologian-add or wants to add a new Object Type, Link Type, or Action Type to an ontology domain.
Use when the user runs /ontologian-analyze or wants to derive an ontology structure from free-form business requirements text.
Use when the user runs /ontologian-validate or wants to check ontology YAML schema correctness and referential integrity across all domains.
Use when the user runs /ontologian or wants to see the overall status of the ontology repository — domain list, type counts, last modified dates, and available commands.
Use when the user runs /ontologian-search or wants to search for a keyword across all ontology domains (object types, link types, action types).
Use when the user runs /ontologian-sync or wants to manually sync local ontology/ to the global ~/.ontologian/ directory.

| description | Use when the user runs /ontologian-consult to explicitly start a Palantir-grade ontology consulting and construction session. |
Launch the ontology-consultant agent for a guided, end-to-end ontology design and
construction session. The agent covers business discovery, Palantir-pattern semantic layer
design, construction, and governance documentation.
Use this skill as the explicit entry point. The ontology-consultant agent also triggers
proactively when the user discusses business requirements, domain modeling, or system design —
so users don't need to know this command exists to benefit from it.
The consulting session runs in 6 sequential phases. Each phase has a defined scope, outputs specific files, and asks targeted questions before proceeding.
| Phase | Name | What the agent asks | Files produced | Session context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 0 | Scope | Domain scope confirmation; start from existing requirements or blank slate? | None | Sets initial_context and scope for all downstream phases |
| Phase 1 | Discovery | 5-axis structured interview: entities, relationships, processes, boundaries, governance | None (stored in memory) | Raw domain facts collected |
| Phase 2 | Modeling | Autonomous — derives Object, Link, Action type candidates using /ontologian-analyze rules | None (internal draft) | Candidate types derived from Discovery output |
| Phase 3 | Design | Reviews candidates against Palantir enrichment patterns: object enrichment, state machine audit, semantic naming, governance metadata | None (internal refinement) | Palantir-grade patterns applied |
| Phase 4 | Construction | Writes all domain files in dependency order; runs /ontologian-validate automatically | objects/<Name>.yaml per Object Type, links/<name>.yaml per Link Type, actions/<name>.yaml per Action Type, ontology/domains/_index.yaml | Files written; validation errors resolved before proceeding |
| Phase 5 | Delivery | Renders ASCII relationship diagrams; generates final report | ontology/CONSULT_REPORT.md | Session complete |

If the user provided arguments or requirements text along with the command, store them as
initial_context to pass to the agent.
Activate the ontology-consultant agent in explicit mode.
Pass initial_context if available so the agent can skip redundant prompts.
The agent will handle the complete consulting workflow: Phase 0 (Scope) → Phase 1 (Discovery) → Phase 2 (Modeling) → Phase 3 (Design) → Phase 4 (Construction) → Phase 5 (Delivery)
