ask-agent
Query another AI agent non-interactively and get the response back. Use this when you want a second opinion from a different agent (Claude, Codex, etc.).
Usage
code
/ask-agent <agent> [options] <prompt>
Arguments
- •
<agent>: The agent to query (claude,codex) - •
<prompt>: The question or request for the agent
Options
- •
-d, --dir <dir>: Set working directory for the agent - •
-m, --model <model>: Specify model (agent-specific)
Instructions
When this skill is invoked, run the agent-query.sh script:
bash
~/.codex/skills/ask-agent/scripts/agent-query.sh <agent> [options] <prompt>
The script will:
- •Run the specified agent in non-interactive/print mode
- •Return the agent's response
Report the response back to the user.
Examples
bash
# Get Codex's opinion on an approach /ask-agent codex "What do you think of using JWT for this auth flow?" # Ask Claude with a specific model /ask-agent claude -m opus "Review this error handling pattern" # Query from a specific directory /ask-agent codex -d ./src "Explain what the auth module does"
Agent CLI Mappings
| Agent | Non-interactive command |
|---|---|
| claude | claude -p "<prompt>" |
| codex | codex exec "<prompt>" |
Notes
- •Response is synchronous - the calling agent waits for the response
- •Useful for getting a second opinion or different perspective
- •Each agent has different training data and reasoning patterns
