claude-consult
Consult Claude specialist agents during implementation for codebase understanding, pattern checking, security review, debugging help, and more. Use this skill whenever you're unsure about conventions, stuck on a failure, or need expert input before writing code. Does not replace the formal review gates in agent-loops — this is for mid-implementation consultation.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill claude-consult --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Claude Consult Get expert help from Claude specialist agents during implementation. Each agent has domain-specific skills pre-loaded and tools scoped to its role. **This is NOT a replacement for the review gates.** The `agent-loops` skill defines formal code review (`specialist-review`) and test audit (`test-review-request`) gates that run after implementation. This skill is for asking questions **during** implementation — before you've written code, while you're writing it, or when you're stuck. ## When to Use - "How does this module work?" — before implementing - "Does my approach match existing conventions?" — while implementing - "Is this pattern secure?" — before committing to a design - "Why is this test failing?" — when stuck - "What do the testing standards say about X?" — before writing tests - "Is this component accessible?" — during UI work ## How to Invoke ```bash claude -p --agent <agent-name> "<your question>" ``` All agents run headless (`-p` / print mode). They read the codebase, apply their loaded skills, and return an answer to stdout. Capture or pipe as needed: ```bash # Direct invocation claude -p --agent debugger "Why is test_auth_flow failing in src/auth/tes

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill claude-consult --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
