What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Use when routing a prompt to a local provider CLI for a second opinion, review, or plan -- you are about to call a provider directly, need the response saved for later, or want a single consistent way to invoke codex/gemini/claude.

Purpose

Route a prompt through a local provider CLI and persist the result as an artifact. The execution path is process-first: always go through the canonical apx ask-* wrappers rather than hand-assembled raw provider commands, so routing and artifact capture stay consistent.

When to Use

You want a focused second opinion, review, or plan from a local provider
You are about to invoke a provider CLI directly and want a consistent entry point
The response needs to be saved to disk for later reference, not just printed
A previous wrapper run misbehaved and you are debugging the routing

Inputs

A clear prompt describing the task for the advisor
The chosen provider (codex, gemini, or claude) installed and authenticated locally

Workflow

Pick the provider and frame the prompt. Choose ask-codex, ask-gemini, or ask-claude based on the task, and write a single self-contained prompt string.

Invoke the canonical wrapper. Run the prompt through the apx ask-* command. Do not manually assemble raw provider CLI commands unless you are debugging the wrapper itself.

apx ask-codex "review this patch from a security perspective"
apx ask-gemini "suggest UX improvements for this flow"
apx ask-claude "draft an implementation plan for issue #123"

Confirm prerequisites if the call fails. Verify the selected local CLI is installed and authenticated before retrying; a missing or unauthenticated CLI is the usual cause.
Persist the response as an artifact. Write the result to the standard artifact location so it can be reviewed later. The path is .agent-powerups/artifacts/ask/ with a filename of the form provider-slug-timestamp (Markdown extension).
For multi-turn or session work, defer to the relay skills. When the task needs cross-turn context rather than a one-shot answer, route through the relay siblings (relay-codex, relay-gemini, relay-claude) instead of repeated ask-* calls.

Output

The provider's response written under .agent-powerups/artifacts/ask/ with a provider-slug-timestamp Markdown filename
A consistent, reproducible routing path that other agents can follow

Verification

The provider was invoked through an apx ask-* wrapper, not a hand-built raw command
The selected local CLI was installed and authenticated before the call
The response was written to the standard .agent-powerups/artifacts/ask/ location
The artifact filename follows the provider-slug-timestamp pattern

Failure Modes

Bypassing the wrapper — assembling raw provider CLI commands by hand outside of debugging, which loses consistent routing and artifact capture.
Unauthenticated CLI — invoking a provider whose local CLI is not installed or signed in, so the call fails before producing any artifact.
Lost response — reading the answer from stdout only and never writing it to the artifact location, leaving nothing to review later.
Wrong tool for the job — using one-shot ask-* for work that needs cross-turn context instead of the relay siblings.
