SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides an enhanced workflow for Sonnet/Haiku leads, adding a pinned-opus oracle to gate plans, arbitrate architecture, and perform the final review, ensuring a high-quality outcome.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Oracle Review: A pinned-opus argus-oracle reviews plans, architectures, and final outputs.
  • Small Model Execution: The small model leads execution while the oracle checks and reviews.
  • Use Case: Use this Skill for a Sonnet/Haiku lead workflow to ensure every task undergoes a comprehensive review and validation process, leading to higher-quality work.

Quick Start

Activate the consult Skill using the command '/argus-mode:consult'.

Frequently Asked Questions about consult

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add an independent review gate to a Sonnet or Haiku model workflow?▼

To add an independent review gate to a Sonnet or Haiku workflow, you use an oracle model to validate plans, arbitrate architecture, and perform final reviews, ensuring high-quality outcomes for non-trivial edits.

What is model-driven development with oracle review for code quality?▼

Model-driven development with oracle review is a process where a primary model executes tasks while a secondary oracle model gates plans and arbitrates architecture, guaranteeing validation and higher code quality.

When do I need an oracle review for non-trivial code edits and lookups?▼

You need an oracle review for non-trivial code edits and lookups when using smaller models like Sonnet or Haiku that require extra validation stages to ensure plan accuracy and architectural integrity.

How do I activate the consult Skill for workflow enhancement?▼

To activate the consult Skill for workflow enhancement, execute the /argus-mode:consult command, which initializes the pinned-opus oracle to review plans and final outputs.

Does the consult workflow work without Opus models?▼

The consult workflow is specifically tailored for Sonnet or Haiku leads that lack built-in Opus-level validation, using a pinned-opus oracle to gate plans and perform final architecture arbitration.

What are the limitations of using small models for complex code generation?▼

Small models often lack the capacity for deep validation during complex code generation, requiring an external oracle review process to gate plans and arbitrate architecture to maintain quality.
