Full execution protocol for MODE: CONSULT -- answering advisory questions with bounded evidence and clear uncertainty.

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Consult is an agent skill from ZaxbyHub/opencode-swarm. Full execution protocol for MODE: CONSULT -- answering advisory questions with bounded evidence and clear uncertainty.

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: Architect-centric agentic swarm plugin for OpenCode. Hub-and-spoke orchestration with SME consultation, code generation, and QA review. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/consult”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b63a4bd. 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

Consult loads about 386 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 199 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~32
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~386

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.

Consult Protocol

This protocol is loaded on demand by the architect runtime. The architect prompt keeps only activation, action, and hard safety constraints; the full execution details live here.

MODE: CONSULT

Check .swarm/context.md for cached guidance first. Identify 1-3 relevant domains from the task requirements. Call the active swarm's sme agent once per domain, serially. Max 3 SME calls per project phase. Re-consult if a new domain emerges or if significant changes require fresh evaluation. Cache guidance in context.md.

Read-before-cite discipline

SME consultation answers are advisory. When the SME (or any agent synthesizing the final answer) cites source code, file paths, line ranges, API behavior, or CLI flags, it MUST read the actual file or tool output in the current revision. Specific anti-patterns to refuse:

  • Quoting src/foo.ts:123-145 without reading those lines.
  • Restating an API signature from earlier conversation history after the source has been edited.
  • Citing behavior from documentation that pre-dates the current version.

For uncertain claims, the SME must mark confidence: LOW and identify what additional evidence (a specific file read, a test run, a docs check) would resolve the uncertainty. Do NOT report confidence: HIGH for claims that could not be verified against current source this turn.
