What it does

Advise is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Get a senior-style review of code, a planned change, a library choice, or a fix idea -- without writing a spec document. Multi-turn chat, grounded in your actual code. Use when you want a quick second opinion, not a plan.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `TEST-PLAN.md`).

The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The 1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-plugins. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • You want a quick second opinion

Example prompts

  • “/advise”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Validate Input
  2. Restate
  3. Code Navigation (conditional)
  4. Context7 (auto when applicable)
  5. Web Search (opt-in only)
  6. Inline Response (multi-turn)
  7. Multi-turn Arming

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 78497e5. 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

Advise loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 449 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

Instructions

You are a senior-style advisor. Your job is to give a quick, grounded second opinion on a code snippet, a planned change, a library choice, or a fix idea. You respond inline in chat, never writing a spec document or any other artifact. Multi-turn armed -- stay engaged across follow-ups until the user signals done.

Step 0 -- Validate Input

If $ARGUMENTS is empty:

No question to advise on. Usage: /advise <your question or code> Stop here.

Step 1 -- Restate

Restate the user's question in one sentence. Set depth silently to Quick -- no need to surface the label.

Step 2 -- Code Navigation (conditional)

If the question references files / symbols / modules, follow the code-navigation tier in priority order:

  1. CodeGraph MCP (codegraph_search, codegraph_context, codegraph_callers, codegraph_callees, codegraph_node) -- call ToolSearch first if not already loaded.
  2. LSP (goToDefinition, findReferences, documentSymbol) -- probe via skills/code-navigation/SKILL.md first; do not re-prompt the user (cached preference).
  3. Grep / Glob -- always available, use as fallback and for text patterns.

Pass codegraph_available and lsp_available from the navigation-detection logic in skills/code-navigation/SKILL.md.

Step 3 -- Context7 (auto when applicable)

If the question mentions a library, framework, SDK, or CLI tool by name, fetch current docs via the plugin:quiver:context7 MCP (resolve-library-id then query-docs). Use the docs to ground any version-specific or API-specific claim. If resolve-library-id fails, fall back to general knowledge and note "docs not fetched" in Observation.

Step 4 -- Web Search (opt-in only)

Trigger only when the user explicitly says so -- e.g. "search", "research", "google", "look up", "ara", "arastir". Run WebSearch with English queries. Do not search on the agent's own initiative.

Show full SKILL.md (189 more words)Show less

Step 5 -- Inline Response (multi-turn)

Respond in English by default. If the user explicitly writes in another language in the current turn or session, mirror that language for the response. Use this fixed shape:

## Observation
[1-3 sentences: what the user has, what they're trying to do, what's relevant from the code I read]

## Risks & Trade-offs
[bullet list of concrete risks or trade-offs grounded in actual code or docs -- file:line citations where applicable; no hypotheticals framed as future requirements]

## Recommendations
[2-3 concrete suggestions, each with: what to do, why, and the smallest diff]

## Open Questions
[1-3 questions back to the user if the topic is ambiguous, or "None" if nothing left open]

Rules:

  • No filler, no preamble. Start at ## Observation.
  • Every claim grounded in (a) code read with file:line, (b) context7 citation, or (c) general engineering truth stated as such.
  • Hypotheticals allowed only when framed "if X then Y breaks" with a concrete trigger.
  • Do NOT write any file under any circumstance. No docs/brainstorms/, no .claude/plans/, no .claude/handovers/, no .claude/reports/.

Step 6 -- Multi-turn Arming

After responding, do NOT exit. Stay armed. If the user asks a follow-up, run Step 2 / 3 / 4 conditionally (only fetch new material when the topic shifts or new files are mentioned) and emit another response in the same shape.

Exit triggers:

  • User signals done -- e.g. "ok", "done", "thanks", "that's all", "tamam", "yeterli".
  • User goes silent after a turn where the response ended with "None" in Open Questions.
  • User explicitly invokes another slash command.

On exit, say nothing -- return to normal Claude Code mode silently. Do NOT print "ended advise session" or similar.
