On-demand consultation of a higher-tier model (Opus 4.8 or Fable 5) from a cheaper executor session. Emulates the native advisor-tool pattern in Claude Code: keep the main loop on a cheap model (Sonnet 5) and call the expensive model rarely, via a focused consultation packet, for a plan/decision/'what am I missing' — not for code. Use when the executor is stuck, before committing to a plan, after repeated failed attempts at the same fix, or before a risky/irreversible change. Invoked via…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Advisor Emulate the [advisor-tool pattern](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-use/advisor-tool) inside Claude Code. The native tool pairs a cheap **executor** (the request model) with a higher-intelligence **advisor** (a `model` field on the tool) and bills most tokens at the executor rate. Claude Code has no such tool, so we get the same economics a different way: **the main loop stays cheap, and this skill reaches for the expensive model rarely, through a sub-agent.** The whole value proposition is *token asymmetry*. It only holds if two things are true: 1. **The main loop is the cheap tier** (Sonnet 5). If the session is already on Opus/Fable, every turn is paying advisor rates and this skill saves nothing — you are the advisor. Say so and stop. …

How to install
mdr add roasbeef/loom/advisor@sha256:e09426beb67b3d4eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260828.d16dbe8, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
