Dev Ask

Derived from oh-my-claudecode (MIT, Yeachan Heo). Adapted for the EvoNexus Engineering Layer.

EXPERIMENTAL. Quick advisory query to a specific LLM (Claude, Codex, Gemini) for a second opinion. Different from dev-ccg which runs all three in parallel — dev-ask is single-shot.

Use When

• You want a fast second opinion from a specific model
• Comparing how different models approach the same problem
• Validating Claude's answer against another model

Do Not Use When

• Need consensus across models → use dev-ccg
• Just need an answer → ask the active session directly
• Codex/Gemini APIs not configured → only Claude available, fall back

Workflow

1. Pick the target model: claude | codex | gemini
2. Format the question model-agnostically
3. Send via the appropriate API
4. Return the answer with the model's name attached
5. Optional: save to workspace/development/research/[C]ask-{topic}-{date}.md

Configuration

If a target model isn't configured, the skill warns:

"{model} is not configured. Only Claude is currently available. Configure via dev-mcp-setup or use dev-ccg to compare available models."

Output Format

## Ask — {target model}

### Question
{question}

### Answer (from {model})
{answer}

### Note
[Any caveats — model version, response time, confidence, etc.]

Pairs With

• dev-ccg (multi-model parallel)
• dev-mcp-setup (configures non-Claude APIs)
• @apex-architect (often the consumer of multi-model perspectives)
