SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the isolation of AI coding assistants by enabling cross-CLI collaboration, allowing you to gather diverse perspectives, challenge assumptions, and perform deep technical analysis using multiple AI agents.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross-CLI Collaboration: Invoke Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, and Oz CLI from within your current session.
  • Structured Analysis: Use specialized modes like council for consensus building, deepthink for complex problem solving, and codereview for quality assurance.
  • Use Case: When facing a high-stakes architectural decision, use the council capability to prompt multiple CLIs simultaneously, synthesize their conflicting or agreeing viewpoints, and arrive at a more robust technical conclusion.

Quick Start

Use the pal-council skill to ask codex and claude for a critical review of the current implementation plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get multiple AI coding assistants to review the same code for consensus?

Cross-CLI collaboration enables you to invoke multiple AI coding assistants simultaneously to review the same code. This multi-agent approach gathers diverse perspectives, challenges assumptions, and synthesizes conflicting viewpoints to arrive at a robust technical conclusion.

Can I call Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI from within a single headless session?

Yes, cross-CLI collaboration supports headless, non-interactive calls between Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, and Oz CLI. It requires compatible CLI environments with proper shell path configuration to execute multi-agent workflows from your current session.

What is the best way to use multiple AI agents for architectural decision making?

Using a council mode facilitates architectural consensus building by prompting multiple CLIs simultaneously. This structured analysis mode synthesizes agreeing and conflicting viewpoints from different AI agents to validate high-stakes technical decisions.

How does multi-agent cross-CLI collaboration help with debugging complex software issues?

Multi-agent cross-CLI collaboration aids debugging by enabling deepthink modes for complex problem solving and bug diagnosis. Gathering perspectives from multiple AI coding assistants helps identify root causes that a single isolated agent might miss.

Do I need specific shell path configurations to run headless calls between AI coding CLIs?

Yes, executing headless non-interactive calls between multiple AI coding CLIs requires compatible CLI environments with proper shell path configuration. This setup ensures that agents like Claude Code and Codex CLI can communicate seamlessly.

What are the limitations of using a multi-agent council for code review?

Using a multi-agent council for code review requires managing conflicting viewpoints from different AI agents, which may complicate consensus building. It also depends on compatible headless CLI environments, limiting use in non-interactive or restricted shell setups.
