Peer Engineer Consultation

Get a second opinion from a peer engineer using the current host's reviewer-dispatch mechanism, with an inline fallback when dispatch is unavailable.

Process

1. Select mode, then dispatch immediately: First classify your execution host and tool surface.
   • Claude Code path: when the Agent tool is exposed and nested dispatch is not blocked, dispatch with Agent (applying the optional Model: value per the Optional Model: bullet below as the Agent model parameter when present; omit when absent).
   • Codex path: when Codex exposes a subagent / delegation mechanism in the current session, dispatch through that mechanism.
   • Fallback path: if no host-provided reviewer dispatch is available — the Agent tool is absent from your tool surface, or the host indicates before dispatch that reviewer dispatch cannot recurse — skip dispatch and produce the feedback inline on the main thread by adopting the Peer Agent Personality below. Being invoked as a sub-skill (e.g. via Skill() on the main thread) does not by itself trigger this path: decide by whether Agent is exposed and callable, not by invocation lineage — if it is, take the Claude Code path. The deliverable is the feedback content, not the dispatch mechanism.
   • No status-only turn: reading this SKILL.md is preparation, not dispatch. Do not produce a "consulting peer" / "waiting for results" status message without a concurrent dispatch tool call in the same turn.
   • Parallelism: if the request contains multiple independent review categories and the host supports parallel reviewer dispatch, spawn one reviewer per category in parallel. Otherwise, spawn a single reviewer or run the categories inline sequentially under the fallback path.
   • Optional Model:: the consultation request may carry an optional Model: value — one of the model ids the current Agent tool's model parameter accepts (sonnet / opus / haiku / fable as of this writing; check the tool's live schema loaded in the current session rather than this fixed list, since Anthropic adds new model families over time) — an independent optional field a caller (e.g. dev-workflow) passes to run the review on a specific model. Apply it as the model parameter on the Claude Code path Agent dispatch (including each parallel reviewer dispatch). It is moot on the Codex / fallback (inline) paths — no Agent is spawned there, so the executing agent's own model governs. Absent → inherit the session model (backward-compatible; existing callers that pass no Model: are unaffected).
2. Each reviewer receives the peer personality below + the full consultation request including all caller instructions
3. For parallel reviews, merge results in category order as unified feedback
4. Present the peer's feedback to the user
