FAQPage Schema
How do I get a second opinion on a code review before submitting a PR?▼

Getting a second opinion on a code review involves invoking a secondary model or backend to analyze your committed code diffs. Use `uv run ask-colleague review "diff in main..."` to delegate the review and receive a diverse, independent perspective before PR submission.

Can I delegate coding tasks to a different model for a fresh perspective?▼

Yes, you can delegate specific coding tasks or implementations to a different backend or model. This task delegation encourages diverse thinking and provides an unbiased perspective when investigating unfamiliar areas of a codebase or implementing new features.

Do I need a specific CLI tool to run independent codebase investigations?▼

Yes, you need the colleague CLI and compatible backends or models to run independent codebase investigations. This environment setup enables the low-ceremony access required to invoke a secondary mind for unbiased explorations and code reviews.

What is the best way to explore unfamiliar codebase areas with an unbiased perspective?▼

The best way to explore unfamiliar codebase areas with an unbiased perspective is to delegate the investigation to a secondary model. This approach provides a fresh, independent viewpoint, helping you understand new code without preconceived biases.

How does providing feedback on delegated coding tasks work?▼

Providing feedback on delegated coding tasks works by evaluating the outcomes from the secondary model. This feedback loop ensures continuous improvement and helps measure the return on investment when using a different backend for task delegation or code reviews.
