workshop

A guided design session where the agent clarifies an idea, asks several language models for different approaches, and helps the user choose and refine one.

In plain words
What is it for?
Exploring multiple solutions, comparing outside model suggestions, refining the selected approach, optionally requesting critique, and saving the final design.
Why use it?
It turns an unclear concept into a considered design while keeping the user involved in selecting the direction.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

workshop 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 — 271 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

A facilitated design session. The user brings a rough idea; the agent clarifies it through dialogue, then convenes external LLMs to propose distinct approaches in parallel; the user picks one; agent and user finalize the design, with an optional multi-LLM critique pass before saving. Use this when you have a vague idea and want expert divergence without losing the user-in-the-loop. For 1:1 design dialogue with no LLMs, use /brainstorm. For role-asymmetric advisory analysis without user interaction, use /panel.

Load the consult-llm skill before proceeding — it defines the invocation contract (stdin heredoc, flags, output format, multi-model calls). Do not call the CLI without loading it first.

Available models

Selectors resolvable in this environment (depends on configured API keys):

!`consult-llm models`

Argument handling

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Check $ARGUMENTS for flags:

Expert flags: any --<selector> from the Models block selects an expert (e.g. --gemini, --openai, --deepseek). Repeat for multiple. Translate model flags and defaults according to the loaded consult-llm skill's model-selection rules.

Mode flags:

  • --max-approaches N — cap how many distinct approaches surface in Phase 2 after dedup. Default 4. Min 2, max 5.
  • --no-critique — skip the Phase 4 multi-LLM critique pass on the finalized design.
  • --no-save — print the design at the end but do not write to history/.
  • --consult-first — before Phase 1, fan the user's raw description out to the selected experts to surface clarifying dimensions and candidate options. Phase 1 then walks the user through those LLM-suggested questions step by step instead of starting from scratch.

Strip all flags from arguments to get the user's initial idea description. If empty, ask the user to describe their idea before continuing.

Phase 0: Load consult-llm skill

Load it now. Follow its invocation contract for every CLI call.

Phase 0.5: Consult-first (only with --consult-first)

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.

workshop is a skill published in the GitHub repository raine/consult-llm (132 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 3,335 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
