At a glance

Launches one separate agent through Paseo to give a second opinion on the current task, with a self-contained briefing and no permission to edit files.

  • Works in 3 steps: User named a profile (--profile UI Work)… → Otherwise choose the profile whose notes… → Contrast helps. When several profiles…
  • Wanting a second opinion on a design before implementing it
  • SKILL.md covers Prerequisites, Picking the advisor, The briefing and Forwarded skills, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

The skill spins up a single advisor agent that reads the situation and gives a judgment while you stay in charge of the work. First the agent reads the paseo skill and calls list_profiles, then picks a profile by name if you gave one, or the profile whose notes best fit the question (design and approach, audit and review, or research and root-cause analysis). When several fit, it prefers a different provider family from its own so the view is fresh.

Because the advisor starts with no context, the briefing is self-contained: the question, what has been considered and ruled out, relevant files by path instead of pasted contents, and an explicit request for a recommendation with reasoning. It ends with a no-edits instruction so the advisor only analyzes. If your request names another skill, such as unslop, the advisor is told to run that skill against the task. The agent then creates the advisor with an Advisor title prefix, waits for it and combines the advisor's verdict with its own recommendation.

When your agent uses it

  • Wanting a second opinion on a design before implementing it
  • Asking an outside agent to review the approach without handing over the work
  • Getting an independent view on the root cause of a stubborn bug

Example prompts

  • “Get me an advisor's take on whether this caching approach is sound.”
  • “Second opinion please: should we split this service out or keep it in the monolith?”
  • “Have an advisor run unslop on the current diff.”

Requirements

  • Paseo, with the paseo skill available

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. User named a profile (--profile UI Work) → select it by name.
  2. Otherwise choose the profile whose notes best fit the question. Match the actual work: design and approach, audit and review, or research…
  3. Contrast helps. When several profiles fit, prefer a different provider family from your own so the second opinion is genuinely fresh.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 29db2b7. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Paseo Advisor Second Opinion loads about 756 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 365 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~56
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~756

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 365 words (~756 tokens).

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