Paseo Advisor
Single agent. Reads the situation you're in. Gives a judgment. You decide what to do — the advisor doesn't drive the work.
Use the user's request and current conversation as input, including any arguments supplied with the skill invocation. Optional syntax: [--profile <name>] <question or topic>.
Prerequisites
Read the paseo skill. Call list_profiles before choosing the advisor. Do not create the advisor until you have read the configured profiles and their notes.
Picking the advisor
- User named a profile (
--profile UI Work) → select it by name. - Otherwise choose the profile whose
notesbest fit the question. Match the actual work: design and approach, audit and review, or research and root-cause analysis. - Contrast helps. When several profiles fit, prefer a different provider family from your own so the second opinion is genuinely fresh.
Materialize the selected profile into create_agent as described by the paseo skill. If no profile fits, use Paseo's provider discovery fallback.
The briefing
The advisor has zero context. Make it self-contained:
- The question, sharply.
- What you've considered and what you've ruled out.
- Relevant files by path (don't paste — let the agent read).
- Explicit ask: "give me a recommendation, with reasoning."
End with the no-edits suffix:
This is analysis only. Do NOT edit, create, or delete any files. Do NOT write code.
Forwarded skills
If the user's request contains another skill reference, such as /unslop, /skill:unslop, or $unslop, the user is asking the advisor to run that skill against the current task. Examples:
/paseo-advisor /unslop→ advisor runs/unslopon the current diff./paseo-advisor /unslop-risk→ advisor does an unslop-risk review./paseo-advisor $diagnose this build failure→ advisor invokes/diagnose./skill:paseo-advisor /skill:unslop→ advisor runs theunslopskill on the current diff in Pi.$paseo-advisor $unslop→ advisor runs theunslopskill on the current diff in Codex.
Parse the forwarded skill name from the user's request (/<name>, /skill:<name>, or $<name>), excluding this skill's own invocation. In the briefing, tell the advisor explicitly:
Invoke the `<name>` skill against this task. Load it via the Skill tool before doing anything else.
Pass through any remaining arguments after the skill name as the skill's own input. The advisor — not you — runs the skill; you're still just the orchestrator handing it the work.
Launch and synthesize
Create the advisor agent via Paseo with a [Advisor] <topic> title and the briefing as the initial prompt. Wait for it to finish. Read its response. Synthesize for the user — the advisor's verdict + your recommendation.
Persistent advisor
If the user wants ongoing input ("keep this advisor for the next few decisions"), don't archive after the first reply. Send follow-ups when you need another take. Archive when the user says they're done, or when the topic shifts and a fresh context would serve better.
