consult is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jgassens/codex-terminal-pro. It costs 114 tokens per session (940 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A helper for asking another coding AI, such as Claude Code or Kimi Code, for an independent opinion on a difficult problem.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking a diagnosis, reviewing proposed edits, and getting advice on changes that may be difficult to undo.
Why use it?
It provides another review of a bug, design decision, or risky change when an outside perspective would help.

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

consult 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 88 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Consulting a second model

This add-on may have consultants configured: other coding CLIs signed in with the user's own subscriptions. They are advisors only. You remain the agent doing the work, and you own the final answer.

Checking what is available

consult --list

Consultants are optional and are set up by the user in the add-on's Settings panel. If none is signed in, say so plainly and carry on yourself rather than treating it as a blocker.

Asking

For a real second opinion, ask both consultants at once:

consult --agents kimi,claude "Question here, with enough context."

They run in parallel and are independent opinions, not a primary and a backup. Answers stream back fastest first, each in a labelled block. Kimi usually lands first; if her answer already settles the question, act on it and move on - you need not wait for Claude. If it does not, wait for Claude's slower, deeper answer, which the same command prints when it arrives.

Ask a single consultant only when you specifically want just one:

consult --agent kimi "Question here."
consult "Question here."   # the default consultant from Settings

The question is the whole prompt, so write it as you would to a competent colleague who has not seen the conversation: state the goal, what you already tried, and what specifically you want judged. Name the files worth reading; the consultant opens its own filtered snapshot copies.

A consult that reads files at high effort can take several minutes - that is the intelligence you asked for working, not a hang. Each consultant answers under its own timeout (default 600s); one that overruns is reported as "no answer" for that consultant while the others still stand. Raise the limit with --timeout SECONDS, up to 1800. Do not launch the same consultant twice over one question; asking different consultants together is what --agents is for.

What the consultant can see

It runs as a dedicated unprivileged user whose working directory is a bounded, root-owned text snapshot of /config - never the live /config or /data trees - with .storage, secrets.yaml, credential/key files, databases, logs, backups, symlinks, binary files, and oversized files left out. Where the kernel provides Landlock it is added on top to block reads outside the snapshot by absolute path. Common inline token and secret assignments are redacted in the snapshot. It can write only to its disposable credential home, which is deleted after the answer.

Changes

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.
