What problem does it solve? When you are stuck on an obscure error, facing a difficult architectural trade-off, or working with an unfamiliar library, a single AI perspective can miss blind spots. This Skill runs OpenAI Codex CLI (codex exec) to obtain an independent second opinion and merges it with the primary analysis. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Second-Opinion Consultation: Runs codex exec with a structured prompt (context, problem, code, question) and saves the response to ~/.claude/second-opinions/. - Auto-Trigger Guidelines: Defines when to proactively consult Codex, such as after 2+ failed debugging attempts, architectural decisions, or plan-mode validation. - Fallback Handling: Retries without the ym profile if the primary provider errors, and enforces a 10-minute timeout for long-running queries. - Use Case: After failing twice to fix a Rust lifetime error, ask the assistant to consult Codex; it runs the CLI, reads the saved response, and presents a combined recommendation highlighting where the two perspectives agree or differ. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to consult Codex about your current error or design decision, for example by saying "ask Codex for a second opinion on this architecture".
