What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Use when a Codex or generic local agent needs a focused second opinion from Claude CLI without MCP routing.

Ask Claude

Purpose

Use local Claude Code CLI as an external advisor for focused questions, reviews, or design checks. The workflow is local-first and always leaves a Markdown artifact.

When to Use

Need a Claude second opinion from Codex App or another shell-capable agent.
Want reviewable output from claude -p saved for later.
Do not use when Claude CLI is missing or unauthenticated.
Do not use as an MCP fallback.

Inputs

A specific prompt or task.
Local claude command available in PATH.
Optional artifact directory.

Workflow

Run through APX:

apx ask-claude "Review this patch for correctness"

Equivalent nested APX and direct CLI calls:

apx ask claude "Review this patch for correctness"

claude -p "Review this patch for correctness"

If claude is missing, stop and ask the user to install/configure Claude Code CLI. Verify with:

claude --version

Output

APX writes:

.apx/artifacts/claude-<slug>-<timestamp>.md

Artifact sections:

Original user task
Final prompt sent to Claude CLI
Claude output (raw)
Concise summary
Action items / next steps

Verification

apx check ask-claude
apx ask-claude "Return OK only" --json

Confirm JSON includes provider, artifactPath, promptLength, and raw output in stdout. Open the artifact before applying advice.

Failure Modes

Missing CLI: do not use MCP; ask user to install/configure claude.
Auth failure: keep artifact if APX created one, report CLI stderr.
Broad prompt: narrow the question before running to avoid noisy advice.
