Critical thinking analysis - validates alignment, challenges assumptions, identifies risks	Proposal or decision to analyze (e.g., "Add Redis for caching")

Critical Thinking Analysis

Invoke the advisor agent to analyze proposals, validate alignment, and identify risks before implementation.

Implementation

Invoke the advisor agent with the user's proposal.

ARGUMENTS: {{ARGUMENTS}}

Use the Task tool to invoke the advisor agent with subagent_type="advisor" and provide the proposal from ARGUMENTS.

What This Does

You describe a proposal or decision point. The advisor agent will:

Validate alignment with PROJECT.md goals, scope, and constraints
Analyze complexity cost vs benefit
Identify technical and project risks
Suggest simpler alternatives
Provide clear recommendation (PROCEED/CAUTION/RECONSIDER/REJECT)

Time: 2-3 minutes

Usage

/advise Add Redis for caching

/advise Refactor to microservices architecture

/advise Switch from REST to GraphQL

/advise Add real-time collaboration features

Output

The advisor provides:

Alignment Score (0-10): How well proposal serves PROJECT.md goals
Decision: PROCEED / CAUTION / RECONSIDER / REJECT
Complexity Assessment: Estimated LOC, files, time
Pros/Cons: Trade-off analysis
Alternatives: Simpler, more robust, or hybrid approaches
Risk Assessment: What could go wrong

When to Use

Use /advise when making significant decisions:

Adding new dependencies (Redis, Elasticsearch, etc.)
Architecture changes (microservices, event-driven, etc.)
Scope expansions (mobile support, multi-tenancy, etc.)
Technology replacements (GraphQL vs REST, etc.)
Scale changes (handling 100K users, etc.)

Integration

The advisor-triggers skill automatically suggests /advise when it detects significant decision patterns in your requests.

Next Steps

After receiving advice:

PROCEED: Continue with /plan or /auto-implement
CAUTION: Address concerns, then proceed
RECONSIDER: Evaluate alternatives before proceeding
REJECT: Don't implement, or update PROJECT.md first

Comparison

Command	Time	What It Does
`/advise`	2-3 min	Critical analysis (this command)
`/research`	2-5 min	Pattern and best practice research
`/plan`	3-5 min	Architecture planning
`/auto-implement`	20-30 min	Full pipeline

Technical Details

This command invokes the advisor agent with:

Model: Opus (deep reasoning for critical analysis)
Tools: Read, Grep, Glob, Bash, WebSearch, WebFetch
Permissions: Read-only analysis (cannot modify code)
