SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When facing complex, ambiguous, or long-running work, it is easy to commit to a flawed approach or stall without an outside perspective. This Skill routes your task, decision, or problem to an independent custom-advisor subagent that challenges assumptions and recommends a direction before you invest effort in implementation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Independent Strategic Review: Delegates your request to a forked custom-advisor subagent that identifies objectives, constraints, and assumptions without executing the task itself. - Structured Recommendations: Returns a comparison of viable approaches, a recommended direction, concrete next actions, and verification criteria. - Use Case: Before refactoring a large legacy module, invoke the advisor with the planned approach to surface hidden risks, compare alternative strategies, and define how you will verify success. ## Quick Start Ask the custom-advisor to review your planned approach for a complex task and recommend a direction with concrete next steps.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get strategic advice before starting a complex task?

Invoke the custom-advisor skill with your task, decision, or problem as the argument. The subagent identifies objectives and constraints, challenges assumptions, compares approaches, and returns a recommended direction with concrete next actions.

When should I use an advisor subagent during development?

Use it before implementation, at important decision points, or when progress has stalled. It is designed for complex, ambiguous, or long-running work where an independent perspective can prevent committing to a flawed approach.

Does the custom-advisor execute the task it advises on?

No, the custom-advisor explicitly does not execute the task. It only analyzes the request, compares viable approaches, and provides recommendations, next actions, and verification criteria.

What happens if I run custom-advisor without an argument?

The skill explains that it requires a task, decision, or problem as its argument. You must supply the subject you want advice on for the subagent to produce meaningful guidance.

What are the limitations of subagent-based strategic advice?

The advice quality depends on how clearly you describe the task and constraints. The subagent cannot access external systems or execute code, so its recommendations require your own validation against real project conditions.
