second-opinion
Gets second opinions from external AIs (Codex, Gemini, Claude) on programming questions. Use when seeking alternative perspectives, validating architectural decisions, comparing approaches, or wanting fresh eyes on a problem. Triggers on "second opinion", "what do other AIs think", "ask codex/gemini".

Second Opinion
Get external AI perspectives on a question. Composes /complete-prompt + /call-ai.
Alias: /so
Quick Reference
| Command | AIs Called | Responses |
|---|---|---|
/so "question" |
Codex + Gemini thorough | 2 |
/so :all "question" |
All 3 AIs × both variants | 6 |
/so codex "question" |
Codex thorough only | 1 |
/so gemini "question" |
Gemini thorough only | 1 |
/so claude "question" |
Claude sonnet (fresh context) | 1 |
AI Registry:
<call-ai skill>/ai-registry.yaml
Progressive Loading Contract (Skill Graph)
For every run, load context in this order:
graph/index.md- One MOC:
graph/mocs/execution.mdorgraph/mocs/synthesis.md - Only required node files under
graph/nodes/ - Deep references (
reference/*.md,examples/*) only when needed
Execution Router
| Stage | Load |
|---|---|
| Parse input | graph/nodes/parse-arguments.md |
| Suitability check | graph/nodes/preflight-evaluation.md |
| Build context | graph/nodes/context-build.md |
| Dispatch coordinator | graph/nodes/coordinator-dispatch.md |
| Verify responses | graph/nodes/response-verification.md |
| Synthesize | graph/nodes/synthesis-strategy.md |
Hard Requirements
- External AIs have zero conversation context.
- Always generate handoff context via
/complete-promptusing the Skill tool. - Always pass
--refsto/complete-promptwhen external AIs can read the same codebase. - Never manually reconstruct complete-prompt XML.
- Return both synthesis and raw response file paths.
Success Criteria
-
/complete-promptinvoked and returned file path - All requested AI responses collected
- Responses saved to
.responses/ - Synthesis highlights agreements/disagreements
- User can access raw responses via file paths
