description
Ask a local external advisor CLI (Claude or Gemini) and capture a reusable artifact
Ask (Local Advisor CLI)
Use a locally installed external advisor CLI for focused questions, reviews, brainstorming, or second opinions. This skill replaces the separate ask-claude and ask-gemini skills.
Usage
$ask claude <question or task>
$ask gemini <question or task>
omx ask claude "<question or task>"
omx ask gemini "<question or task>"
Backend selection
- Use
claudewhen the user asks for Claude, Anthropic, or the previous$ask-claudebehavior. - Use
geminiwhen the user asks for Gemini or the previous$ask-geminibehavior. - If no backend is specified, choose the installed backend that best matches the user request; if neither is clearly available, explain that a local CLI is required.
Local CLI commands
Claude:
omx ask claude "{{ARGUMENTS}}"
claude -p "{{ARGUMENTS}}"
Gemini:
omx ask gemini "{{ARGUMENTS}}"
gemini -p "{{ARGUMENTS}}"
If needed, adapt to the user's installed CLI variant while keeping local execution as the default path. Do not silently switch to an MCP or remote provider when the local binary is missing.
Artifact requirement
After local execution, save a markdown artifact to:
$install
