Claude CLI Skill

Headless wrapper for Claude Code CLI. Invokes a separate Claude session via claude -p "PROMPT" --dangerously-skip-permissions. Provides isolated second opinions without sharing the current agent's context window.

When to Use

• Second-opinion validation (isolated Claude session without shared context)
• Cross-validation of current agent's reasoning
• Delegated deep analysis that should not consume current context window
• Multi-LLM consultation workflows (as one of the participating models)
• Chairman synthesis in llm-council workflows

Usage

Ask a question

node .claude/skills/omega-claude-cli/scripts/ask-claude.mjs "What are the security implications of this auth design?"

Specify model

JSON output (with text stripping)

node .claude/skills/omega-claude-cli/scripts/ask-claude.mjs "Analyze dependencies" --json

With timeout

node .claude/skills/omega-claude-cli/scripts/ask-claude.mjs "Deep security review of auth.ts" --timeout-ms 300000
