Ask

Ask several models

!sh -c 'for p in "$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts" "$HOME/.claude/skills/multi/scripts" "./.claude/skills/multi/scripts"; do [ -x "$p/probe.sh" ] && { "$p/probe.sh"; echo "scripts-dir: $p"; exit 0; }; done; echo "probe: NOT FOUND — locate scripts/probe.sh in this plugin and run it yourself"'

One model's answer is one model's priors. Three answers from different families show you where the question is actually settled and where it only looked settled.

This is not a review and not a vote. You do not pick a winner and you do not merge them into one answer — that throws away the only thing the user came for. Show what each said, then say where they differ.

$SCRIPTS is whatever the probe printed as scripts-dir:.

Run it

Start the external models first — they take 30–90 seconds and OpenCode spends most of a minute just waking up. Answer the question yourself while they run.

$SCRIPTS/ask.sh --question "" \
                --out-prefix /tmp/multi-ask \
                --model  [--fallback ] [--effort ]

Pass the question as the user asked it. Do not rewrite it into a better prompt: the point is what different models do with the same words. Add context they would need and could not see — the file you are both looking at, what was already ruled out — but leave the question itself alone.

Effort defaults to medium. Raise it for a hard design question, drop it to low for something factual.

If neither external model is available, say so and just answer normally. This skill has nothing to add without them, and pretending otherwise is worse than a plain answer.

Report

Your own answer is one of the three, not the frame around the other two. Write it before you read theirs — otherwise it is not an independent answer.

## 

**Claude** — 

**Codex** — 

**OpenCode ()** —    ← or one line saying it did not run

### Where they differ

Keep each answer recognisably its own. Trim padding and repetition, but do not paraphrase a model into agreeing with the others — a disagreement flattened in the retelling is the one thing this skill exists to prevent.

If all three said the same thing, say that in one line. It is a useful answer: the question was not as open as it looked.

Then stop. Offer to dig into one of the answers; do not act on any of them unprompted.
