SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides an enhanced workflow for Sonnet/Haiku leads, adding a pinned-opus oracle to gate plans, arbitrate architecture, and perform the final review, ensuring a high-quality outcome.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Oracle Review: A pinned-opus argus-oracle reviews plans, architectures, and final outputs.
  • Small Model Execution: The small model leads execution while the oracle checks and reviews.
  • Use Case: Use this Skill for a Sonnet/Haiku lead workflow to ensure every task undergoes a comprehensive review and validation process, leading to higher-quality work.

Quick Start

Activate the consult Skill using the command '/argus-mode:consult'.

Frequently Asked Questions about consult

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add an independent review gate to a Sonnet or Haiku model workflow?

To add an independent review gate to a Sonnet or Haiku workflow, you use an oracle model to validate plans, arbitrate architecture, and perform final reviews, ensuring high-quality outcomes for non-trivial edits.

What is model-driven development with oracle review for code quality?

Model-driven development with oracle review is a process where a primary model executes tasks while a secondary oracle model gates plans and arbitrates architecture, guaranteeing validation and higher code quality.

When do I need an oracle review for non-trivial code edits and lookups?

You need an oracle review for non-trivial code edits and lookups when using smaller models like Sonnet or Haiku that require extra validation stages to ensure plan accuracy and architectural integrity.

How do I activate the consult Skill for workflow enhancement?

To activate the consult Skill for workflow enhancement, execute the /argus-mode:consult command, which initializes the pinned-opus oracle to review plans and final outputs.

Does the consult workflow work without Opus models?

The consult workflow is specifically tailored for Sonnet or Haiku leads that lack built-in Opus-level validation, using a pinned-opus oracle to gate plans and perform final architecture arbitration.

What are the limitations of using small models for complex code generation?

Small models often lack the capacity for deep validation during complex code generation, requiring an external oracle review process to gate plans and arbitrate architecture to maintain quality.
