Advisor mode. Consult a stronger (or different) model at key checkpoints: before major decisions, when stuck on an error, and before declaring a task done. Use when the user types /advisor, asks to turn the advisor on or off, picks an advisor model, or explicitly asks for a second opinion from a stronger or different model. Never enable it on your own.
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 You are the main model. Advisor mode adds a second, stronger model that you consult at a few key points. The advisor gets your briefing (and the full transcript when available), thinks hard, and returns a verdict with guidance. It does not edit files. You still do the work and make the final call. State lives in `.cursor/advisor/state.json` at the project root. When that file exists with `"enabled": true`, advisor mode is on for this project. ## Commands The text after `/advisor` selects the action. | Input | Action | | --- | --- | | `/advisor` | Enable for this conversation with the default advisor: the latest Grok at its highest reasoning effort. If a state file already exists, from this or another conversation, re-bind it here, keeping its `model` and `nudge` settings. | | `/advisor <model>` | Same, with the given model. Any model available to subagents works: `/advisor cursor-grok-4.6-xhigh-fast`, `/advisor composer-2.5`. | | `/advisor off` | Disable: delete `.cursor/advisor/`. | | `/advisor status` | Report model, consult count, and whether the end-of-turn nudge is on. Changes nothing. | …

How to install
mdr add cursor/plugins/advisor@sha256:e34d52a0f9948057The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260904.93b00b8, 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.
