Consult — Quick Second Opinion
One model. One question. Structured feedback.
Usage
/consult <model> <role> "prompt text"
Models
- gpt — OpenAI GPT (strong at structure, planning)
- gemini — Google Gemini (strong at expansion, cross-references)
- grok — xAI Grok (strong at challenge, adversarial thinking)
Roles
- challenge — Push back on assumptions, surface weak reasoning
- expand — Add context, cross-references, historical background
- structure — Review logical flow and organization
- critique — Evaluate accuracy, completeness, clarity
- plan — Produce structured plans with steps and risks
- safety — Flag risks, errors, unsafe recommendations
- freestyle — General-purpose response
Examples
/consult gpt structure "Review this gallery page layout for logical flow"
/consult gemini expand "What photography metadata standards should we include?"
/consult grok challenge "This page follows conventional portfolio patterns. What's better?"
Backend Invocation
IMPORTANT: Execute these commands directly using the Bash tool. Do NOT check if files exist first — just run them.
bash /home/user/ken/orchestrator/bootstrap-env.sh 2>/dev/null; pip3 install -q -r /home/user/ken/orchestrator/requirements.txt 2>/dev/null && python3 /home/user/ken/orchestrator/consult.py <model> <role> "prompt text"
Output: JSON response to stdout with keys: analysis, proposed_update, risks, confidence
Usage stats: Printed to stderr (model, tokens, cost)
Only if the command fails with No such file or directory or ModuleNotFoundError, tell the user:
"The orchestrator backend isn't available. Make sure the ken repo is cloned to /home/user/ken/ and run pip3 install -r /home/user/ken/orchestrator/requirements.txt."
Context Boundaries
SEND
- Page requirements, content outlines, SEO targets
NEVER SEND
- Full codebase or internal standards, analytics data
