advisor
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.

What this skill does
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. /advisor ask <question> Consult now about the current work, regardless of checkpoint. /advisor nudge on / off Toggle the end-of-turn reminder posted by the plugin's stop hook (default on). If the message also contains a task (/advisor, then refactor the cache layer), enable first, then do the task under advisor mode. Choosing the model The default is the latest Grok model at its highest reasoning effort, currently cursor-grok-4.6-xhigh. If a newer Grok or a higher effort tier appears in the subagent model list available to you, prefer it and say so. For /advisor <model>, resolve the request against the subagent model slugs available to you: An exact slug: use it as is. A family or version name (grok fast, composer): that family's latest model at its highest reasoning tier. No match: say so, name two or three close options, and keep the current model. …
