# Consultant Skill

## Three Operation Modes

### CONSULTATION MODE (Single Expert)
Ask a specific AI model for focused analysis or second opinion.

**Trigger Patterns:**
- "Ask [model] about X"
- "Consult [model] on Y"
- "What does [model] think about Z"
- "Get [model]'s opinion on X"
- "[Model], analyze this problem"

**Available Consultants:**
- **codex** / **gpt5** - OpenAI GPT-5 Codex (advanced reasoning, technical analysis)
- **gemini** - Google Gemini (multi-perspective analysis)
- **grok** - xAI Grok (alternative LLM perspective)
- **perplexity** - Perplexity Sonar (web research with citations)
- **claude** - Claude WebSearch (web research, detailed analysis)

**Examples:**
- "Ask Gemini about the best approach to implement this feature"
- "Consult Codex on this architectural decision"
- "What does Grok think about this code pattern?"
- "Get Perplexity's research on latest React trends"

### RESEARCH MODE (Multi-Agent Parallel)
Launch multiple agents simultaneously for comprehensive coverage.

**Trigger Patterns:**
- "Do research on X"
- "Quick research: X"
- "Extensive research on X"
- "Research this topic"
- "Investigate X"

**Three Research Intensities:**

#### QUICK RESEARCH
- Launch 5 agents (1 of each type)
- Timeout: 2 minutes
- Best for: Simple queries, fast answers

#### STANDARD RESEARCH (Default)
- Launch 15 agents (3 of each type)
- Timeout: 3 minutes
- Best for: Comprehensive coverage, balanced depth

#### EXTENSIVE RESEARCH
- Launch 40 agents (8 of each type)
- Timeout: 10 minutes
- Best for: Deep-dive analysis, exhaustive reports

### DELIBERATION MODE (Multi-Round Debate)
Agents critique each other's answers and refine through peer review.

**Trigger Patterns:**
- "Deliberate on X"
- "Have the consultants debate X"
- "What do the models think about X after discussing?"
- "Peer review: X"

**How It Works:**

**Round 1: Initial Perspectives (all 5 agents)**
- Each agent provides initial analysis independently
- No agent sees others' responses y
