OMA Multi-Agent Orchestration
first-fluke/oh-my-agent
Decomposes a complex feature into tasks, dispatches parallel specialist agents with durable state, and supervises verification, QA review and retries.
Adds a second, stronger model that the main agent consults before major decisions, when stuck and before finishing, controlled by /advisor commands.

What it does
Advisor mode adds a second, stronger model that the main agent consults at key checkpoints: before major decisions, when stuck on an error, and before declaring a task done. The advisor receives a briefing and the transcript when available, returns a verdict with guidance and never edits files, so the main agent still does the work and makes the final call.
State lives in .cursor/advisor/state.json in the project root. The /advisor command enables the default advisor, the latest Grok model at its highest reasoning effort, or a model you name. Other forms turn it off by deleting the folder, report status with model and consult count, ask a question right away, or toggle an end-of-turn reminder from a stop hook that is on by default.
Model names are matched against the subagent models available, by exact name or by family; if nothing matches, the agent says so and suggests close options. The skill must not be enabled on the agent's own initiative, and a reference file provides a briefing template.
When your agent uses it
- Getting a second opinion from a stronger model before a big decision
- Asking another model for guidance when the agent is stuck on an error
- Having work reviewed by an advisor before it is declared done
- Switching the advisor on, off or to a different model
Example prompts
- “Run /advisor to enable advisor mode for this project with the default model.”
- “Turn the advisor on, then refactor the cache layer.”
- “/advisor status”
- “Ask the advisor whether this migration plan is safe before I run it.”
Requirements
- Cursor with subagent models available to choose from
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Resolve the model as described above.
- Write .cursor/advisor/state.json with the file-writing tool (not a shell redirect), creating the directory if needed. If a state file…
- Confirm in one line: Advisor on: . I'll consult it before major decisions, when I'm stuck, and before I call the task done. Then continue…
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9f451cf. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
git
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Advisor Mode loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,498 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:93
- No secrets. Redact tokens, keys, and `.env` values.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,498 words (~2,580 tokens).

The advisor receives a briefing and the transcript when available, returns a verdict with guidance and never edits files, so the main agent still does the work and makes the final call.
When should I use Advisor Mode?
Advisor Mode fits situations like: getting a second opinion from a stronger model before a big decision; asking another model for guidance when the agent is stuck on an error; having work reviewed by an advisor before it is declared done; switching the advisor on, off or to a different model.
How do I install Advisor Mode in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add cursor/plugins --skill advisor -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (advisor/skills/advisor in cursor/plugins) into .claude/skills/advisor in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Advisor Mode in Codex?
Run `npx skills add cursor/plugins --skill advisor -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (advisor/skills/advisor in cursor/plugins) into .agents/skills/advisor in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Advisor Mode in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add cursor/plugins --skill advisor -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/advisor, .gemini/skills/advisor, .github/skills/advisor and .opencode/skills/advisor in your project.
What does Advisor Mode need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Advisor Mode needs the command-line tools its instructions call (git). Our summary lists: Cursor with subagent models available to choose from.
Does Advisor Mode access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Advisor Mode safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (mentions a .env file), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Advisor Mode use?
No licence was found for Advisor Mode or its repository. Without one, default copyright applies: ask the author before reusing or redistributing it.
How many tokens does Advisor Mode use?
About 2.6k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 10k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 388 tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
What are the alternatives to Advisor Mode?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Advisor Mode: OMA Multi-Agent Orchestration (first-fluke/oh-my-agent, 1.3k stars), Fable Foreman (olsenbrands/fable-foreman, 142 stars), Claudish Usage (MadAppGang/claudish, 1k stars) and Loop Change Verifier (cobusgreyling/loop-engineering, 11k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
