Ask another agent in this workspace for a review, a fact, or a draft. Opens a fresh Herdr pane, runs the target as a peer session, waits for its written reply, closes the pane. Same workspace only. Use /agents:ask <name> "<request>". Requires Herdr (HERDR_ENV=1).
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
# /agents:ask — Peer Request
You ask one agent in this workspace to do one bounded thing for the agent you currently are (or for the principal, if no agent is active). The full protocol is `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/template/agents/reference/peer.md` (if the variable is empty: `$AGENT_FRAMEWORK_ROOT/template/agents/reference/peer.md`, or the framework root a wrapper skill named; else glob `~/.claude/plugins/cache/*/agents/*/template/agents/reference/peer.md`, highest version). Read it once, then follow it.
## Preconditions
1. Run `echo "$HERDR_ENV $HERDR_PANE_ID"` (you cannot see env vars otherwise). `HERDR_ENV` must be `1` and `HERDR_PANE_ID` set. Otherwise say `Not inside Herdr — /agents:ask needs a Herdr pane.` and stop.
2. Workspace root = current working directory; it must contain `agents/`. Glob `agents/<name>/context.md` or `agents/*/<name>/context.md` (case-insensitive). Not found, or `status: retired` → say so, suggest `/agents:list`, stop. **Never** look outside this root and never mention agents from other roots.
3. Caller = the agent currently active in this session, else `principal`.

How to install
mdr add normannoble/goagentic/ask@sha256:2eb9133a6ebbf32eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.51badfe, 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.
