Need help deploying ask?
Chalk Labs sets up agents like this inside real teams: connected to your tools, tested on your data, with a human in the loop where it matters.
Install
Works with Claude Code, Claude apps, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, VS Code, OpenCode, Goose, Windsurf. Read the repository before you give any tool access to your data.
npx agentmarket install skill/rafcin-ask
Asks which of your tools to add it to (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, Claude Desktop) and shows the change first. See https://agentmart.dev/cli.

# Ask (Local Advisor CLI)
Use a locally installed external advisor CLI for focused questions, reviews, brainstorming, or second opinions. This skill replaces the separate `ask-claude` and `ask-gemini` skills.
## Usage
```bash
$ask claude <question or task>
$ask gemini <question or task>
omx ask claude "<question or task>"
omx ask gemini "<question or task>"
```
## Backend selection
- Use `claude` when the user asks for Claude, Anthropic, or the previous `$ask-claude` behavior.
- Use `gemini` when the user asks for Gemini or the previous `$ask-gemini` behavior.
- If no backend is specified, choose the installed backend that best matches the user request; if neither is clearly available, explain that a local CLI is required.
## Local CLI commands
Claude:
```bash
omx ask claude "{{ARGUMENTS}}"
claude -p "{{ARGUMENTS}}"
```
Gemini:
```bash
omx ask gemini "{{ARGUMENTS}}"
gemini -p "{{ARGUMENTS}}"
```
If needed, adapt to the user's installed CLI variant while keeping local execution as the default path. Do not silently switch to an MCP or remote provider when the local binary is missing.
## Artifact requirement
After local execution, save a markdown artifact to:
```text
.omx/artifacts/ask-<backend>-<slug>-<timestamp>.md
```
Minimum artifact sections:
1. Original user task
2. Backend and final prompt sent to the CLI
3. Raw CLI output
4. Concise summary
5. Action items / next steps
