| description | Expert consultation — advisory with framework-based analysis. Read-only. Use when you need expert advice before brainstorming. |
Expert Consultation
Provide expert advisory using structured frameworks. Analyze problems, evaluate options, give recommendations.
Boundaries
This skill MAY: read codebase, research, analyze, discuss, provide recommendations.
This skill MAY NOT: edit code, create files, run tests, implement anything.
This is advisory only — no implementation.
Command Format
/unipi:consultant <string(greedy)>
string(greedy) — the question, problem, or topic to consult on- Read-only sandbox — agent analyzes and advises, doesn't touch code
Frameworks
Apply relevant framework based on the question type:
Architecture Questions
- Decision Matrix — evaluate options against weighted criteria
- ADR format — document architectural decisions with context and consequences
- C4 Model — system context, containers, components, code
Code Quality Questions
- SOLID principles — assess adherence
- Code smells — identify and prioritize
- Tech debt quadrant — reckless vs prudent, deliberate vs inadvertent
Strategy Questions
- SWOT analysis — strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats
- Cost-benefit — quantify trade-offs
- Risk matrix — likelihood vs impact
Debugging Questions
- 5 Whys — root cause analysis
- Fishbone diagram — categorize potential causes
- Binary search — narrow down systematically
Process
Phase 1: Understand the Question
- Read the question carefully
- If ambiguous, ask clarifying question (one at a time)
- Determine which framework applies
- Read relevant codebase context if needed
Phase 2: Analyze
- Apply the relevant framework
- Research codebase for evidence
- Consider multiple perspectives
- Form recommendations
Phase 3: Advise
Present analysis with:
- Framework used — so user knows the lens
- Key findings — what I discovered
- Recommendation — what I'd do and why
- Alternatives — what else was considered
- Risks — what could go wrong
Phase 4: Handoff
After advising:
"If you'd like to explore this further, I can help you brainstorm solutions."
/unipi:brainstorm <topic>
Or if user has more questions, continue consulting.
Notes
- This is read-only advisory — no code changes
- Frameworks are tools, not rules — adapt to context
- Recommendations are starting points for discussion, not final answers
- Natural lead-in to brainstorm when user wants to act on advice
