second-opinion skillA

second-opinion is agent-read markdown (skill) from microsoft/amplifier-bundle-skills: Independent review of current work or a past session. USE WHEN a user wants a second opinion. DO NOT USE WHEN ordinary code review is wanted — use code-review..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Second Opinion

Request a read-only review from the reviewer configuration the user chooses.
The job is simple: resolve that selection, assemble an evidence brief, delegate
to that provider and model, and report the review.

## Usage

Ask in natural language:

```text
/second-opinion Have opus review this work.
/second-opinion Have astra, fable, and Gemini Flash review this work independently.
/second-opinion Ask astra to review the design decisions from session <session ID>.
/second-opinion Use the reviewers we named, with up to twenty running at once.
```

The examples are illustrative. A bare request reviews current work but needs a
reviewer choice. If the reviewer is missing or ambiguous,
ask **one** plain question, for example, “Which reviewers should I ask?” Ask it
before resolving or delegating. Never guess a default, alias, or model. Reuse
an earlier explicit reviewer selection only when it is unambiguous.

Current work is the default source. For a past session, require the exact
session ID the user supplied or that already appears in the conversation. Ask
for it when absent; do not discover a historical session from a description.
