ModelPeer: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/cross-model-consult/SKILL.md

cross-model-consult is a skill for Claude Code from makedirectory/ModelPeer. It costs 99 tokens per session (695 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for asking Codex or Gemini for an independent, read-only opinion about one focused engineering question. It uses a tool called Model Peer to consult another model from the current repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for difficult design trade-offs, unfamiliar code or dependencies, security-sensitive decisions, or bugs that remain unresolved after inspecting the code yourself.
Why use it?
It helps reduce uncertainty before making architecture, schema, migration, or security decisions, and can provide another view when a bug has resisted several explanations. The consultation takes extra time and uses the developer’s model account.

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

cross-model-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 1mo 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 — 70 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Consult a peer

You are Claude. Codex and Gemini are available as independent, read-only engineering peers.

model-peer ask <codex|gemini> "<focused question>"
model-peer doctor                      # which peers are available here

When it is worth the wait

  • before committing to an architecture, schema, or migration decision
  • when a bug has outlived two of your own hypotheses
  • security-sensitive work: authn/authz, sandboxing, input handling, secrets, crypto
  • unfamiliar code, or a dependency whose behavior you are inferring
  • an assumption you cannot cheaply verify by reading the code
  • two approaches you cannot decide between — ask for the tradeoff, not the verdict

Do not consult for anything you can settle by reading the code. Every consultation is a real model call against the developer's account and takes tens of seconds.

How to ask

The peer starts in this working directory with read-only tools, so name files and symbols instead of pasting excerpts, and ask one focused question. A peer that has to guess at scope returns generic advice.

# good — scoped to a symbol, answerable from the repository
model-peer ask codex "In src/auth/session.ts, can refresh_token leave the old token valid if rotation fails midway?"

# bad — no scope
model-peer ask codex "review my auth code"

Pipe context in when the question is about something not on disk:

git diff main... | model-peer ask gemini "What breaks in production?"

The answer is advisory

Evaluate it before acting. Peers do not know this project's invariants, so advice that contradicts the rules in this repository is wrong here however sound it sounds in general.

When a peer materially changed your decision, say which model you asked and whether you took the advice. Never present a peer's output as your own conclusion.

Leave --depth at its default: each peer answers alone, and lengthening the chain is a human's deliberate call. Above depth 1 the peer does not run anything — it asks Model Peer for a second opinion and Model Peer performs the consultation — but every hop still costs time and money. A model is never consulted twice in one chain.

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.
