When to Use

• User wants a second opinion from a different AI
• User says "ask codex", "ask gemini", or wants multi-model input
• Complex question that benefits from multiple perspectives

Workflow

1. Route the question to the specified AI via bash:
   • codex exec "question" --ephemeral -o /dev/stdout — OpenAI Codex CLI (non-interactive)
   • gemini -p "question" — Google Gemini CLI (non-interactive)
2. Capture the response
3. Present the answer (or synthesize if multiple models queried)

Prerequisites

Requires the target CLI to be installed:

• Codex: npm install -g @openai/codex
• Gemini: npm install -g @google/gemini-cli

If the target CLI is not available, note the limitation and answer with available resources.
