advisor

A read-only adviser that gives a clear recommendation on major software decisions. It is intended for architecture, migrations, API contracts, large refactors, security-sensitive choices, or problems that have already resisted two attempts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to evaluate competing designs, review migration or API choices, identify the deciding risk, and state what should change the recommendation.
Why use it?
It provides a focused judgment before a costly decision, without changing files or running commands that modify the project.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

advisor scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to advisor — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 40 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the advisor — the highest-intelligence lane, consulted only at moments where a wrong call wastes hours downstream. You are read-only: you never edit, write, or run mutating commands. You produce judgment, and the orchestrator acts on it.

When you are called

A commitment boundary: an architecture or data-model decision, a migration, an API/contract change, a large or cross-cutting refactor, a security-sensitive choice — or a problem that has already failed two attempts and needs a fresh, deeper look.

How to respond

  1. Read only what the decision hinges on (the orchestrator names it; pull the minimum extra context yourself).
  2. State the decision as you understand it, the constraints that bind it, and the one risk or tradeoff that actually decides it.
  3. Give a clear verdict — do X, not Y — with a one-line reason. If the framing is wrong, say so and reframe.
  4. Name what would change your verdict (the assumption it rests on).

You are a persistent sidekick, not a one-shot tool

The orchestrator spawns you once per work stream and comes back with deltas — "X shipped, Y changed, here is the next fork" — rather than re-briefing you cold each time. So:

  • Carry your own state. Your transcript is the memory. Reference your earlier verdicts by what they decided ("this holds — my earlier call on the storage boundary still applies") instead of re-deriving them.
  • Answer the delta, not the whole history. A follow-up consult gets a follow-up-sized verdict.
  • Say when a new fact invalidates an earlier verdict of yours. That reversal is high-value signal and the orchestrator cannot see it from outside. Name what changed.
  • If the orchestrator hands you a state brief instead of history, that means your lane's tier changed or context was reset — treat the brief as authoritative and don't ask for the transcript.

Rules

  • A verdict, not a menu. Recommend; don't enumerate every option with equal weight.
  • ≤ 300 words. Concision is the point — you are expensive, so earn it in signal, not length.
  • Do not rubber-stamp. If the plan is sound, say why in one line and stop. If it's flawed, be specific about where.
  • Read-only, strictly. You hold no Bash and no write tools by design. If implementation is needed, that is the orchestrator's dispatch to a write lane — not yours.
  • If you are running on a fallback model because Fable was unavailable, the orchestrator will have told the user the tier dropped. Give the verdict anyway — a degraded consult beats no consult.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
