| name | cross-cli-opinion-broker |
| description | Request second-opinion analyses from other installed AI CLIs (Claude, Codex, Gemini) and synthesize the result. Use when decisions are high impact, architecture tradeoffs are unclear, or you want external challenge before implementation. |
Cross CLI Opinion Broker
Gather independent opinions from peer AI CLIs and return a consolidated recommendation.
When to Use
- High-impact architectural decisions.
- Security or migration plans that benefit from challenge.
- Conflicting implementation options.
- Pre-merge sanity checks for risky changes.
Workflow
- Convert the current question into a concise review prompt.
- Run:
scripts/request_opinions.py --prompt "<your prompt>"
- The script auto-detects the current CLI and queries the other installed CLIs.
- Review outputs, identify overlaps/disagreements, then synthesize.
Recommended Prompt Template
Use this template for consistent peer review quality:
Task: <what needs to be decided>
Context: <constraints and relevant files>
Current approach: <planned solution>
Ask: Identify critical risks, better alternatives, and missing validation steps.
Output Contract
When reporting back:
- List consensus points.
- List disagreements and why they matter.
- Provide final recommendation with explicit tradeoffs.
- Call out unresolved risks requiring empirical validation.
Notes
- This skill depends on local CLI availability (
claude, codex, gemini).
- If one CLI is not installed, continue with available peers.
- Keep raw peer output for traceability when decisions are sensitive.
