help

A read-only command that explains how to ask several AI models for independent advice from inside a code editor, then lets the main agent read their answers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare advice from GPT, Gemini, Grok, and OpenRouter, with GPT and Gemini also able to make requested changes.
Why use it?
It gives you additional opinions without requiring you to leave the editor or combine the responses yourself.

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

help 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 2d ago.

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.

Help

Deliberation gives you a second opinion from GPT, Gemini, Grok, and OpenRouter, without leaving your editor. You ask; they answer independently; Claude reads the answers back to you. The experts advise by default - GPT and Gemini can also make changes when you ask them to.

Step 1: One quick look at your setup (ONE Bash call)

set -u
host="Claude Code"
[ -n "${CURSOR_TRACE_ID:-}${CURSOR:-}" ] && host="Cursor"
[ -n "${KIRO_VERSION:-}${KIRO:-}" ] && host="Kiro"
[ -n "${CODEX_HOME:-}" ] && [ -z "${CLAUDECODE:-}" ] && host="Codex CLI"
echo "Host: $host"
CFG="${DELIBERATION_CONFIG:-${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/deliberation/config.json}"
case "$CFG" in /*) ;; *) CFG="$HOME/.config/deliberation/config.json";; esac
[ -f "$CFG" ] && echo "Config: found" || echo "Config: missing - run /deliberation:setup first"
[ -n "${XAI_API_KEY:-}" ] && echo "Grok key: set" || echo "Grok key: unset (Grok will skip)"
[ -n "${OPENROUTER_API_KEY:-}" ] && echo "OpenRouter key: set" || echo "OpenRouter key: unset (OpenRouter will skip)"

If the host is not Claude Code, tell the user the commands work the same way but the exact syntax can differ on their host, and point them at the per-host guides in the project's public-docs/hosts/. Then show the rest of this guide.

Step 2: Show the guide

Render the sections below. Keep it tight - this is a cheat sheet, not a manual.

What each command is for

Command Use it when
/ask-gpt, /ask-gemini, /ask-grok, /ask-openrouter You want one model's take on something.
/ask-all You want several models in parallel and a side-by-side read.
/consensus The decision matters and you want the models to argue to one verdict.
/deliberation:analyze You want to see which models are slow or rarely add anything.
/deliberation:doctor Something looks broken - commands missing, providers failing, empty analyze.
/deliberation:setup First install, or to repair the install.

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.

help is a command published in the GitHub repository antonbabenko/deliberation (138 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 974 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
