What it does

Ask is an agent skill from yangyuan-zhen/PolyWeather. [OMX] Ask a local external advisor CLI (Claude or Gemini) and capture a reusable artifact

Its SKILL.md is about 390 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: polymarket Intelligent Weather Quant Analysis Bot. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

Example prompts

“/ask”

Workflow steps

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

Original user task
Backend and final prompt sent to the CLI
Raw CLI output
Concise summary
Action items / next steps

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 43e658b. 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:
- claude
- gemini
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

Ask loads about 390 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 163 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~23
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~390

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

name: ask
description: [OMX] Ask a local external advisor CLI (Claude or Gemini) and capture a reusable artifact

Ask (Local Advisor CLI)

Use a locally installed external advisor CLI for focused questions, reviews, brainstorming, or second opinions. This skill replaces the separate ask-claude and ask-gemini skills.

Usage

bash

$ask claude <question or task>
$ask gemini <question or task>
omx ask claude "<question or task>"
omx ask gemini "<question or task>"

Backend selection

Use claude when the user asks for Claude, Anthropic, or the previous $ask-claude behavior.
Use gemini when the user asks for Gemini or the previous $ask-gemini behavior.
If no backend is specified, choose the installed backend that best matches the user request; if neither is clearly available, explain that a local CLI is required.

Local CLI commands

Claude:

bash

omx ask claude "{{ARGUMENTS}}"
claude -p "{{ARGUMENTS}}"

Gemini:

bash

omx ask gemini "{{ARGUMENTS}}"
gemini -p "{{ARGUMENTS}}"

If needed, adapt to the user's installed CLI variant while keeping local execution as the default path. Do not silently switch to an MCP or remote provider when the local binary is missing.

Artifact requirement

After local execution, save a markdown artifact to:

text

.omx/artifacts/ask-<backend>-<slug>-<timestamp>.md

Minimum artifact sections:

Original user task
Backend and final prompt sent to the CLI
Raw CLI output
Concise summary
Action items / next steps

Task: {{ARGUMENTS}}

Questions about Ask

What does Ask do?

[OMX] Ask a local external advisor CLI (Claude or Gemini) and capture a reusable artifact. Ask is an agent skill from yangyuan-zhen/PolyWeather.

How do I install Ask in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add yangyuan-zhen/PolyWeather --skill ask -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.codex/skills/ask in yangyuan-zhen/PolyWeather) into .claude/skills/ask in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Ask in Codex?

Run `npx skills add yangyuan-zhen/PolyWeather --skill ask -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.codex/skills/ask in yangyuan-zhen/PolyWeather) into .agents/skills/ask in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Ask 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 yangyuan-zhen/PolyWeather --skill ask -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/ask, .gemini/skills/ask, .github/skills/ask and .opencode/skills/ask in your project.

What does Ask need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Ask needs the command-line tools its instructions call (claude and gemini).

Does Ask access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Ask safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Ask use?

Ask is published under the AGPL-3.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Ask use?

About 390 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.6k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Ask?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Ask: External Links (thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist, 74k stars), Advisor Mode (cursor/plugins, 11k stars), Broken External Links (thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist, 74k stars) and Odoo Upgrade Advisor (sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, 47k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Ask?

yangyuan-zhen (a GitHub user) maintains it in yangyuan-zhen/PolyWeather, which has 316 GitHub stars. The repository holds 26 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on September 20, 2026.
