This skill should be used when the user asks to "compare LLMs", "see how each provider answers", "side-by-side response", "what do Gemini, Codex, Grok, Ollama, and Antigravity think", or wants raw responses from multiple providers without synthesis. Unlike /brainstorm (which synthesizes findings) or /multi-review (which validates code reviews), /compare just shows each provider's answer side-by-side.
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
<!-- PORTABLE-CONTRACT:START --> ## Portable contract Send the exact same bounded prompt to two to five selected providers concurrently. Preserve input order in the result, show each response verbatim without synthesis or adjudication, and show every provider failure instead of silently dropping it. Never invoke raw provider CLIs when a canonical Ask LLM bridge is available. <!-- PORTABLE-CONTRACT:END --> ## Host adapters ### Pi adapter Use one native `ask-multi` call. Put the common prompt in `prompt` and two to five unique names in `providers`; its implementation, not model-emitted sibling calls, guarantees concurrent bounded dispatch and stable ordering. ### Other hosts adapter Codex, Cursor Agent, Antigravity, Grok Build, Gemini CLI and OpenCode get this skill from their skills folder, not from a plugin. Select two to five unique provider names, then apply the availability filtering, dispatch, and reporting steps in `../ask-llm-review/transport.md` with the common prompt. Present each response verbatim and each unavailable selection or failure in the original requested order. <!-- HOST-ADAPTER:CLAUDE-CODE:START --> ### Claude Code adapter …

How to install
mdr add lykhoyda/ask-llm/ask-llm-compare@sha256:f2407fa1d5a2308bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.162238f, 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.
