advisor

Advisor mode. Consult a stronger (or different) model at key checkpoints: before major decisions, when stuck on an error, and before declaring a task done. Use when the user types /advisor, asks to turn the advisor on or off, picks an advisor model, or explicitly asks for a second opinion from a stronger or different model. Never enable it on your own.

Quality

Content

88%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The body is a tightly written, highly actionable operational guide with concrete state schemas, spawn parameters, and feedback loops for error recovery. Its only weakness is mild verbosity in a few prose-heavy sections and limited use of external reference splitting.

Suggestions

Tighten the Enabling and How-to-consult prose into terser step lists to reduce token weight without dropping the concrete fields and parameters.

Consider moving the detailed briefing-template usage into the existing reference and keeping only a short pointer plus redaction rule inline, to deepen progressive disclosure.

The Choosing-the-model resolution rules repeat across Commands and Enabling; consolidate to one place and cross-reference to cut redundancy.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Instruction-dense and assumes Claude's competence without explaining basic concepts, but several prose blocks (the long Enabling paragraph, the How-to-consult elaboration) could be tightened without losing clarity.

4 / 5

Actionability

Fully executable guidance: an exact copy-paste state.json schema, concrete spawn parameters (subagent_type, model, description, run_in_background), exact commands, and per-verdict actions covering the common cases.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Numbered Enabling and How-to-consult sequences with explicit checkpoints and explicit feedback loops (resume fails -> spawn fresh; Task tool rejects slug -> read valid slugs from error and pick closest; verdict stop -> rethink).

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized sections with one clearly-signaled one-level-deep reference ("Build the briefing from `references/briefing-template.md`", a real file), though the body still carries considerable inline operational detail rather than splitting more into references.

Description

87%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description cleanly states the skill's purpose and gives explicit, natural trigger phrases covering the /advisor command family and "second opinion" requests. It is concrete, distinct, and complete with a proper Use-when clause.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain and several concrete actions ("Consult a stronger (or different) model at key checkpoints: before major decisions, when stuck on an error, and before declaring a task done") with minor gaps in coverage rather than a fully comprehensive list.

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what ("Consult a stronger (or different) model at key checkpoints") and when ("Use when the user types /advisor, asks to turn the advisor on or off, picks an advisor model, or explicitly asks for a second opinion") with concrete trigger phrases.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Good natural keyword coverage ("types /advisor", "turn the advisor on or off", "picks an advisor model", "second opinion from a stronger or different model") users would actually say, with a few synonyms missing.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

A clear niche (read-only second opinion from a stronger/different model) with distinct triggers (the /advisor command, "second opinion") and minimal overlap risk with other skills.
