pi-askall

pi-askall is a command for Claude Code from tznthou/claude-prism. It costs 16 tokens per session (2,179 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that sends one question to Codex and Gemini at the same time, then asks Claude to combine their answers. Codex, Gemini, and Claude are AI assistants made by different companies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to get second opinions on coding questions or other topics, compare different approaches, and have Claude synthesize the results.
Why use it?
It gives you several independent answers to compare instead of relying on one model's response. Claude then provides a combined view.

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

pi-askall 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 10d 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.

Ask All Providers

Send the same question to Codex and Gemini in parallel, then Claude synthesizes. Multiple AI viewpoints on any topic — not limited to code.

Execution

Dispatch rules (v0.13.0+): For parallel provider consultation, use the Agent tool with subagent_type: "general-purpose" to spawn two parallel sub-agents — NOT two Bash tool calls in a single main-conversation response. Main-conversation Bash is a structural FIFO queue: the second Bash waits for the first to finish (delta ≈ first_exec precisely, measured N=7 across two capacity slots), which defeats the parallel intent. Sub-agent fan-out dispatches Bash calls truly in parallel (median delta 2.8s, N=13), saving roughly 28% wall-clock on a two-provider call.

Inside each sub-agent, run call-codex.sh / call-gemini.sh in foreground synchronous mode with timeout: 600000 (Bash tool's 10-minute ceiling). Do not use &, nohup, or run_in_background: true — Claude Code 2026-04+ has an auto-background child-lifecycle regression that silently kills the child (output file stays 0 bytes). If a sub-agent's Bash returns empty stdout, the Bash template below falls back to reading the caller-owned $OUT_PATH file (v0.14.3+, wrapper tees here via CLAUDE_PRISM_OUT_TMP).

1. Build the prompt

Use $ARGUMENTS as the base question.

If $ARGUMENTS references a file path (e.g., src/config.ts or ./README.md):

  • Read the file with the Read tool
  • Append the file content as context to the question sent to both providers

If $ARGUMENTS references recent conversation context (e.g., "the plan we just discussed", "this approach"):

  • Claude summarizes the relevant context into a self-contained question
  • The question sent to providers must be understandable without conversation history

If $ARGUMENTS is empty, ask the user: "What topic or question should I get multiple perspectives on?"

2. Frame the prompt, then fan out via sub-agents

Step 2a — Build the framed wrapper (compose once, used by both providers):

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.

pi-askall is a command published in the GitHub repository tznthou/claude-prism (10 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 2,179 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-31.
