oracle-advisor

oracle-advisor is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from steipete/oracle. It costs 49 tokens per session (830 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A consultation workflow for asking a second AI model for advice through an API, signed-in browser, or prepared handoff bundle.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to request a second opinion on selected context, either as a fresh consultation or a follow-up, while leaving final checks and edits to the calling agent.
Why use it?
It keeps the chosen connection method, model settings, authorization, and evidence of the consultation explicit instead of silently switching routes.

About the project

Oracle is a command-line tool and MCP server that packages a prompt with selected project files, sends them to an AI model, and saves the response as a session. Developers and coding agents use it to get a second-model review based on the actual code and context. The catalogue add-ons support Oracle workflows.

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

oracle-advisor 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 — 78 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Oracle advisor

Use Oracle to ask an advisory model about selected context. The advisor returns advice; the calling agent remains responsible for checking it and making edits. This skill reuses the existing Oracle CLI and MCP tools. It does not add a new command, MCP method, or native desktop adapter.

Select the allowed transport

Honor the caller's transport, model, effort, files, output requirements, and choice of a fresh consultation or an explicit follow-up. Existing authorization persists; do not ask again when a permitted route is already clear.

  • API: use an explicitly configured and authorized provider. Pass --engine api and the requested model; preserve required reasoning settings.
  • Browser: use the authorized signed-in browser route. Pass --engine browser; confirm the requested model and effort through Oracle's selection evidence. Browser availability alone does not authorize a fallback.
  • Render: use --render to prepare a bundle for manual handoff. This creates no model answer or completed consultation; report the bundle as ready to send.
  • Native desktop: unavailable in this skill. Chat, Work, and Codex sharing a UI is not evidence of an agent-callable delegation interface. Do not improvise private IPC, cookie extraction, or UI automation as a native adapter.

If the requested route is unavailable, use an alternative only when the caller has already allowed it. Otherwise explain the missing capability and ask for the transport choice. Never silently reduce the required model or effort.

Run the consultation

Inspect oracle --help --verbose for the installed version. For an execution route, preview the exact bundle with the chosen engine and --dry-run full; for render, inspect the rendered bundle directly. Use --files-report for token estimates. A preview's predicted route is not execution evidence. Include the problem, relevant constraints, and the requested answer format in the prompt. Send only the selected task context, with credentials excluded.

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.
