ChisaCode Advisor

Single agent. Reads the situation you're in. Gives a judgment. You decide what to do — the advisor doesn't drive the work.

User's request: $ARGUMENTS

Prerequisites

Read the chisacode skill — provider for the advisor comes from orchestration preferences unless the user names one.

Picking the advisor

1. User named one (--provider claude) → use it.
2. Otherwise resolve from preferences — pick the category that matches the question:

• Design / approach question → planning
• "Did I miss something" review → audit
• "Is this even right" → research

1. Contrast helps. If your own provider matches what preferences would pick, swap to a different family on purpose — fresh perspective is the point.

The briefing

The advisor has zero context. Make it self-contained:

• The question, sharply.
• What you've considered and what you've ruled out.
• Relevant files by path (don't paste — let the agent read).
• Explicit ask: "give me a recommendation, with reasoning."

End with the no-edits suffix:

This is analysis only. Do NOT edit, create, or delete any files. Do NOT write code.

Forwarded skills

If $ARGUMENTS contains another skill reference — /unslop, /unslop-risk, $unslop, etc. — the user is asking the advisor to run that skill against the current task. Examples:

• /chisacode-advisor /unslop → advisor runs /unslop on the current diff.
• /chisacode-advisor /unslop-risk → advisor does an unslop-risk review.
• /chisacode-advisor $diagnose this build failure → advisor invokes /diagnose.

Parse the forwarded skill name out of $ARGUMENTS (/<name> or $<name>). In the briefing, tell the advisor explicitly:

Invoke the `<name>` skill against this task. Load it via the Skill tool before doing anything else.

Pass through any remaining arguments after the skill name as the skill's own input. The advisor — not you — runs the skill; you're still just the orchestrator handing it the work.

Launch and synthesize

Create the advisor agent via ChisaCode with a [Advisor] <topic> title and the briefing as the initial prompt. Wait for it to finish. Read its response. Synthesize for the user — the advisor's verdict + your recommendation.

Persistent advisor

If the user wants ongoing input ("keep this advisor for the next few decisions"), don't archive after the first reply. Send follow-ups when you need another take. Archive when the user says they're done, or when the topic shifts and a fresh context would serve better.
