What Ask does

Ask routes a question to an external advisor such as Claude or Gemini when configured. Use it for explicit consultation requests that need a second opinion before proceeding.

Ask is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Ask comes from a repository tagged agent, ai, ai-agent, ai-tools and claude-code.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

The request is casual chat, a status-only acknowledgement, or another workflow has stronger routing evidence.
The user needs implementation, review, CI, merge, or external publishing evidence that has not been delegated or observed.

Examples

Good example:

Prompt: ask: ask Claude as an external advisor to critique this plugin bridge plan before implementation.
Expected behavior: Prepare an advisor prompt, capture the response boundary, and summarize reusable critique.
Why: The user wants outside review before committing to a direction.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
