What this skill does
Paseo Advisor Single agent. Reads the situation you're in. Gives a judgment. You decide what to do — the advisor doesn't drive the work. User's request: $ARGUMENTS Prerequisites Read the paseo skill. Call listprofiles before choosing the advisor. Do not create the advisor until you have read the configured profiles and their notes. Picking the advisor 1. User named a profile (--profile UI Work) → select it by name. 2. Otherwise choose the profile whose notes best fit the question. Match the actual work: design and approach, audit and review, or research and root-cause analysis. 3. Contrast helps. When several profiles fit, prefer a different provider family from your own so the second opinion is genuinely fresh. Materialize the selected profile into createagent as described by the paseo skill. If no profile fits, use Paseo's provider discovery fallback. The briefing The advisor has zero context. Make it self-contained: The question, sharply. What you've considered and what you've ruled out. Relevant files by path (don't paste — let the agent read). Explicit ask: "give me a recommendation, with reasoning." End with the no-edits suffix: Forwarded skills If $ARGUMENTS contains another skill reference — /unslop, /unslop-risk, $unslop, etc. — the user is asking the advisor to run that skill against the current task. Examples: /paseo-advisor /unslop → advisor runs /unslop on the current diff. /paseo-advisor /unslop-risk → advisor does an unslop-risk review. /paseo-advisor $diagnose this build failure → advisor invokes /diagnose. Parse the forwarded skill name out of $ARGUMENTS (/<name> or
lt;name>). In the briefing, tell the advisor explicitly: Pass through any remaining arguments after the skill name as the skill's own input. The advisor — not you — runs the skill; you're still just the orchestrator handing it the work. Launch and synthesize Create the advisor agent via Paseo with a [Advisor] <topic> title and the briefing as the initial prompt. Wait for it to finish. …How to use it
