Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

v3.2.0

Published

A harness for every question - a panel of up to 11 AI models that picks its own deliberation strategy per question (convergence, adversarial verification, tournament) and checks its work before answering

Readme

AI Consultants v3.2.0

Coverage, not a single guess. A panel of up to 11 frontier models from different vendors fans out on your question in parallel and hands you the union of what they collectively see — the risks, edge cases, and approaches a single model misses.

Version License Claude Code Skill GitHub stars agentskills.io

Why AI Consultants?

A single model gives you a single guess — and it misses whatever falls in its blind spots. AI Consultants fans your question out to a panel of models from different vendors and returns the union of their distinct answers: the point one model raised and the others didn't is exactly the value.

  • Cross-vendor diversity → coverage — different model families have different blind spots, so the union covers what any one misses. On open-ended questions ("what could go wrong with this design?", "enumerate the risks") a diverse panel covers materially more of the answer space than one strong model — or than sampling one model repeatedly.
  • Parallel fan-out — every consultant runs at once; no serial deliberation rounds.
  • Coverage synthesis — the default synthesis is the deduplicated union of every distinct point, not a single voted winner (use --strategy compare_only for a side-by-side, or majority for a blended recommendation).
  • 11 supported consultants with distinct personas (Architect, Pragmatist, Devil's Advocate, …) — the personas deliberately decorrelate the panel.
  • Best for breadth — threat-modeling, design review, "what am I missing?", exhaustive enumeration. For a single-answer factual or defect-finding question, one strong model is usually enough.

Quick Start

Get started in 30 seconds:

Option A: npx (recommended)

# Run directly - no install needed
npx ai-consultants "How should I structure my authentication system?"

# With a preset
npx ai-consultants --preset balanced "Redis or Memcached?"

# Run diagnostics
npx ai-consultants doctor --fix

# Install slash commands for Claude Code
npx ai-consultants install

Option B: curl | bash (Claude Code skill)

Consultants

CLI-Based Consultants

| Consultant | CLI | Persona | Focus | |------------|-----|---------|-------| | Google Gemini | agy | The Architect | Design patterns, scalability, enterprise | | OpenAI Codex | codex | The Pragmatist | Simplicity, quick wins, proven solutions | | Mistral Vibe | vibe | The Devil's Advocate | Problems, edge cases, vulnerabilities | | Cursor | agent | The Integrator | Full-stack perspective | | Kimi K3 | kimi | The Eastern Sage | Holistic, balanced perspectives | | Claude | claude | The Synthesizer | Big picture, synthesis, connecting ideas | | Qwen3 | qwen | The Analyst | Data-driven analysis | | Grok | grok | The Provocateur | Challenge conventions | | MiniMax | mmx | The Pragmatic Optimizer | Performance, efficiency, pragmatism |

Grok uses Grok Build with grok-4.5 in an isolated, tool-free sandbox. Prompts are passed through a private file rather than process arguments. It falls back to the xAI API only when the CLI is missing, cannot launch, or has no usable authentication and GROK_API_KEY is configured; post-launch request failures are surfaced without a silent API charge. Qwen3 and MiniMax can also switch from their CLI to API transport. Gemini, Codex, Claude, and Mistral are CLI/API switchable.

API-Only Consultants

| Consultant | Default Model | Persona | Focus | |------------|---------------|---------|-------| | GLM | glm-5.2 | The Methodologist | Structured approaches | | DeepSeek | deepseek-v4-pro | The Code Specialist | Algorithms, code generation |

Installing Consultant CLIs

At least 2 consultant CLIs are required:

curl -fsSL https://antigravity.google/cli/install.sh | bash  # Gemini (Antigravity CLI: agy)
npm install -g @openai/codex           # Codex
pip install mistral-vibe               # Mistral
curl https://cursor.com/install -fsS | bash  # Cursor

# Optional CLI-based consultants
curl -L code.kimi.com/install.sh | bash            # Kimi K3
npm install -g @qwen-code/qwen-code@latest  # Qwen (alternative to API)
curl -fsSL https://x.ai/cli/install.sh | bash # Grok Build (grok-4.5)
npm install -g mmx-cli                       # MiniMax

Kimi is pinned to K3 for every consultation, even if the user's Kimi CLI has a different default model:

KIMI_MODEL=kimi-code/k3 ai-consultants \
  "Review this API design from a holistic perspective"

Quality Tiers

Choose the right balance of quality, speed, and cost with model quality tiers.

Tier Presets

| Preset | Tier | Agents | Use Case | |--------|------|--------|----------| | max_quality | Premium | 8 of 11 | Critical decisions | | medium | Standard | 4 | General questions | | fast | Economy | 2 | Quick checks |

A preset only chooses the consultant set and model tier — every run then fans out in parallel and returns the coverage union.

Models by Tier

| Consultant | Premium | Standard | Economy | |------------|---------|----------|---------| | Claude | claude-opus-5 | claude-sonnet-4-6 | claude-haiku-4-5 | | Gemini | Gemini 3.1 Pro (High) | Gemini 3.5 Flash (High) | Gemini 3.5 Flash (Low) | | Codex | gpt-5.5 | gpt-5.4 | gpt-5.4-nano | | Mistral | mistral-large-3 | mistral-medium-latest | devstral-small-2 | | Cursor | composer-2.5 | composer-2 | gemini-3-flash | | DeepSeek | deepseek-v4-pro | deepseek-v4-flash | deepseek-v4-flash | | GLM | glm-5.2 | glm-5.2 | glm-4-flash | | Grok | grok-4.5 | grok-4.1-fast | grok-4.1-fast | | Qwen3 | qwen3.7-max | qwen3.6-35b-a3b | qwen3-32b | | Kimi | kimi-code/k3 | kimi-code/k3 | kimi-code/k3 | | MiniMax | MiniMax-M2.7 | MiniMax-M2.7 | MiniMax-M2.5 |

Usage

Claude Code:

/ai-consultants:consult --preset max_quality "critical architecture decision"
/ai-consultants:consult --preset fast "quick syntax question"

Bash:

./scripts/consult_all.sh --preset max_quality "microservices vs monolith?"
./scripts/consult_all.sh --preset fast "how to use async/await?"

# Programmatic tier selection
source scripts/config.sh
apply_model_tier "premium"   # Set all to premium models
apply_model_tier "economy"   # Set all to economy models

Configuration

Presets

Choose how many consultants to use:

| Preset | Consultants | Tier | Use Case | |--------|-------------|------|----------| | max_quality | 8 of 11 | Premium | Critical decisions | | medium | 4 | Standard | General questions | | fast | 2 | Economy | Quick checks | | minimal | 2 (Gemini + Codex) | Default | Quick questions, low cost | | balanced | 4 (+ Mistral + Cursor) | Default | Standard consultations | | thorough | 4 | Default | Comprehensive analysis | | high-stakes | Expanded panel (5 of 11) | Default | Critical decisions | | security | Security-focused (4) | Default | Security reviews | | cost-capped | Budget-conscious | Default | Minimal API costs |

Bash:

./scripts/consult_all.sh --preset balanced "Question"

Synthesis Strategies

Control how responses are combined:

| Strategy | Description | |----------|-------------| | majority | Most common answer wins (default) | | risk_averse | Weight conservative responses higher | | security_first | Prioritize security considerations | | cost_capped | Prefer simpler, cheaper solutions | | compare_only | No recommendation, just comparison |

Bash:

./scripts/consult_all.sh --strategy risk_averse "Question"

Environment Variables

Automatic configuration (recommended):

# Detect installed CLIs and available API keys, then write the persistent config
ai-consultants configure

# Review the consultant selection and transports interactively
ai-consultants configure --interactive

# Set any persistent parameter without opening an editor
ai-consultants configure \
  --set DEFAULT_PRESET=balanced \
  --set DEFAULT_STRATEGY=coverage \
  --set ENABLE_SMART_ROUTING=true

# Inspect the complete machine-readable parameter surface
ai-consultants configure --show-parameters

The configurator covers every persistent setting in scripts/config.sh, plus credentials, persona overrides, transport controls, advanced context knobs, and calibration commands. Existing custom values and secrets are preserved, while ENABLE_* flags are refreshed from detected availability (and can be pinned with --set). Rewrites create a private timestamped backup. Use --advanced to review every parameter or --dry-run to preview a redacted result. Auto-selected *_USE_API values are marked # ai-consultants:auto, allowing a later run to adapt when a CLI or credential changes. Environment variables, --set, and unmarked values remain explicit user choices, except for the exact historical generated Claude default described below. Managed model defaults use # ai-consultants:default; configure upgrades the historical unmarked CLAUDE_MODEL=claude-opus-4-8 default to Opus 5. To keep 4.8 intentionally, run ai-consultants configure --set CLAUDE_MODEL=claude-opus-4-8; explicit model overrides are stored with # ai-consultants:pin.

Enter credentials through --interactive/--advanced or export them before the run; avoid passing API keys through --set, where the shell may retain them in history or expose them in the process list.

For a manual starter template instead, run ai-consultants init and edit ~/.config/ai-consultants/.env.

For ad-hoc overrides without persisting, the most common knobs:

DEFAULT_PRESET=balanced      # minimal | balanced | thorough | high-stakes | fast | security
DEFAULT_STRATEGY=coverage    # coverage | compare_only | majority | risk_averse | security_first | cost_capped
ENABLE_SMART_ROUTING=true    # Auto-select consultants by question category
MAX_SESSION_COST=1.00        # USD budget cap (paired with ENABLE_BUDGET_LIMIT=true to enforce)
KIMI_MODEL=kimi-code/k3      # Pin the Kimi consultant to K3
CLAUDE_API_MAX_TOKENS=16384  # Shared thinking + visible-output budget in API mode

Full reference: references/configuration.md. Copy-paste workflows: docs/RECIPES.md. For category-aware preset suggestions: ai-consultants doctor --suggest-preset --question "...".

Configuration Recipes

Breadth review — the coverage union (default):

ai-consultants --preset high-stakes \
  "What could go wrong with this webhook-delivery design?" src/webhooks.ts@PRIMARY

Security review, security-first framing:

ai-consultants --preset security --strategy security_first \
  "Find authentication bypasses" src/auth.ts@PRIMARY

Side-by-side comparison (no synthesized union):

ai-consultants --strategy compare_only \
  "Event log or mutable relational state for this service?"

Live health gate plus hard quorum:

ENABLE_HEALTH_GATE=true \
QUORUM_MIN=3 \
QUORUM_ACTION=stop \
ai-consultants "Make a release recommendation"

See the recipes for balanced, fast, security, compare-only, budget-capped, CLI-only, hybrid API, and large-context workflows.

Doctor Command

Diagnose, suggest, and fix:

ai-consultants doctor                                          # Installation and configuration checks
ai-consultants doctor --fix                                    # Auto-fix common issues
ai-consultants doctor --json                                   # JSON for automation
ai-consultants doctor --live                                   # Real ping per consultant — catches installed-but-unauthenticated CLIs
ai-consultants doctor --suggest-config                         # Print recommended ENABLE_* based on detected CLIs
ai-consultants doctor --suggest-preset --question "..."        # Recommend preset + strategy for a question
ai-consultants update-clis                                     # Check & update every installed consultant CLI
ai-consultants update-clis --dry-run                           # Preview: each CLI's install method + update command

When a consultant fails mid-consultation, the run surfaces the captured reason (e.g. CLI not found, 401 Unauthorized) instead of a bare "Failed", so you can tell not installed from not authenticated from transient.


How It Works

Classify -> Route -> Fan out (parallel) -> Coverage synthesis
   |          |            |                      |
 category  smart       Gemini (8)          union of every
          routing      Codex (7)           distinct point,
                       Mistral (6)         deduplicated
                       Cursor (9)
  1. Classify the question into a category.
  2. Route (optional, ENABLE_SMART_ROUTING) to the consultants with the best category affinity (references/affinity.json).
  3. Fan out to every selected consultant in parallel — one shot each, no serial rounds.
  4. Synthesize the coverage union: the deduplicated set of every distinct point, recommendation, risk, and edge case raised by any consultant. Override with --strategy compare_only (side-by-side) or majority (a single blended recommendation).

Output

Each consultation generates:

/tmp/ai_consultations/TIMESTAMP/
├── gemini.json          # Individual responses
├── codex.json           #   with confidence scores
├── mistral.json
├── cursor.json
├── synthesis.json       # Coverage union
└── report.md            # Human-readable report

Best Practices

When the Panel Helps Most

The panel's edge is coverage — surfacing what a single model misses. It pays off on open-ended, breadth questions:

  • Threat-modeling and design review ("what could go wrong with this?")
  • Enumerating risks, edge cases, or failure modes
  • "What am I missing?" / exhaustive audits
  • Decisions that are difficult to reverse

For a single-answer factual or defect-finding question, a single strong model is usually enough — the panel adds little.

Interpreting Results

| Scenario | Recommendation | |----------|----------------| | A point only one consultant raised | Weigh it — the diversity is the point | | Mistral (Devil's Advocate) flags a risk | Investigate it | | Consultants diverge on approach | Use --strategy compare_only to see each side-by-side |

Security

  • Never include credentials or API keys in queries
  • Review and redact sensitive code before sending it to any external consultant
  • Files in /tmp are automatically cleaned up

Documentation


Changelog

v2.23.0

  • ENABLE_REFLECTION and REFLECTION_CYCLES removed. The self-reflection module they controlled was never called by anything, so the settings had never affected a consultation — v2.16's converge and adversarial shapes already run critique-refine off measured consensus. If you set either key, remove it: configure --set ENABLE_REFLECTION=... now exits non-zero, and both keys are dropped when an existing .env is rewritten.
  • The release gate works again. Two test suites failed deterministically against any real user configuration, so no release since 2.22.0 could pass its own npm test.
  • npm test no longer swallows failures. A failing assertion followed by a passing one inside the same test function was counted as a pass, across 8 of 13 test functions.
  • Feature flags can no longer be enrolled as consultants. A registry that told feature flags apart from custom API agents was 18 entries out of date; it is now complete and pinned by a test.
  • Preset tables corrected — they described a debate and peer-review depth the code has not enforced since v2.16, and called high-stakes/max_quality "all consultants" when they enable 5 and 8 of 11. See the v2.23.0 release note.

v2.22.0

  • ai-consultants configure: a public automatic configurator. It detects your installed CLIs and API keys, picks CLI-first transports, and writes a private XDG config while preserving your existing settings and secrets. Drive it with repeatable --set KEY=VALUE, review it with --interactive / --advanced, or preview it with --dry-run. See the v2.22.0 release note.

v2.21.1

  • Kimi K3: Kimi now defaults to kimi-code/k3, and the adapter passes the model explicitly with --model.
  • Focused 11-consultant roster: Kilo, Aider, Amp, and Ollama were removed end-to-end, including their adapters and configuration variables. See the v2.21.1 release note for migration guidance.

v2.15.1

  • Gemini fixes (Antigravity CLI): the default model (Gemini 3.1 Pro (High)) wraps its JSON in a ```json fence; v2.15.0 didn't strip it, so every Gemini reply degraded to a generic fallback. Now de-fenced on all paths (response processing, self-reflection, synthesis).
  • Works out-of-the-box for npx: Gemini auto-selects API mode when GEMINI_API_KEY is set (the agy CLI can't be npm-installed and is OAuth-only), so a key-only environment no longer silently drops Gemini.
  • Synthesis no longer hangs when agy is the synthesizer (it was launched interactively instead of in print mode).

v2.10.0

  • MiniMax M2.5 support: New API-based consultant with "The Pragmatic Optimizer" persona
  • 15 consultants total: Gemini, Codex, Mistral, Kilo, Cursor, Aider, Amp, Kimi, Claude, Qwen3, GLM, Grok, DeepSeek, MiniMax, Ollama
  • npx distribution: npx ai-consultants "question" - run directly without install
  • npm packaging: package.json with zero dependencies, .npmignore for clean publishing

v2.8.1

  • Bug fixes: Fixed ((count++)) abort under set -e, missing Amp in consultant map, hardcoded claude in synthesize.sh
  • Security: Variable name validation before export in escalation and cost-aware routing
  • DRY refactoring: Rewrote query_kilo.sh and query_cursor.sh using shared process_consultant_response(); added get_model_for_tier() as single source of truth

v2.8.0

  • Amp CLI support: New consultant with "The Systems Thinker" persona
  • 13 consultants total: Gemini, Codex, Mistral, Kilo, Cursor, Aider, Amp, Claude, Qwen3, GLM, Grok, DeepSeek, Ollama
  • Installation: curl -fsSL https://ampcode.com/install.sh | bash

v2.7.0

  • Qwen CLI support: CLI/API mode switching for Qwen3 via qwen-code
  • 5 switchable agents: Gemini, Codex, Claude, Mistral, and now Qwen3 support CLI/API mode
  • CLI default: QWEN3_USE_API defaults to false (CLI mode via qwen-code)

v2.6.0

  • CLI/API mode switching: Gemini, Codex, Claude, and Mistral can switch between CLI and API mode
  • New environment variables: *_USE_API and *_API_URL for each switchable agent
  • Unified API query module: lib/api_query.sh for consistent API handling

v2.5.0

  • Model quality tiers: Premium, standard, and economy tiers for all consultants
  • New presets: max_quality, medium, fast for quick tier selection
  • Premium defaults: All consultants now use premium models by default (March 2026)
  • apply_model_tier() function: Programmatically switch all models to a tier
  • Updated models: opus-4.6, gemini-3.1-pro-preview, gpt-5.3-codex, mistral-large-3, etc.

v2.4.0

  • Budget enforcement: Optional budget limits with configurable actions (warn/stop)
  • Budget checks: 4 enforcement points (before/after consultation, debate, synthesis)
  • Budget configuration: Configurable via natural language or environment variables

v2.3.0

  • Semantic caching: Cache responses to avoid redundant API calls (15-25% savings)
  • Cost-aware routing: Route simple queries to cheaper models (30-50% savings)
  • Fallback escalation: Auto-escalate to premium model if confidence < 7
  • Debate optimization: Skip debate if all consultants agree (opt-in)
  • Category exceptions: SECURITY/ARCHITECTURE always trigger debate
  • Quality monitoring: optimization_metrics.json tracks optimization impact
  • Compact reports: Shorter reports by default (summaries only)
  • Response limits: Per-category token limits (opt-in)

v2.2.0

  • Claude consultant: New consultant with "The Synthesizer" persona
  • Self-exclusion: Invoking agent automatically excluded from panel
  • Presets: Quick configuration with --preset minimal/balanced/high-stakes/security
  • Doctor command: Diagnostic and auto-fix tool
  • Synthesis strategies: --strategy majority/risk_averse/security_first/compare_only
  • Confidence intervals: Statistical confidence ranges (e.g., "8 +/- 1.2")
  • Anonymous peer review: Unbiased evaluation of responses
  • Ollama support: Local model inference for privacy
  • Panic mode: Automatic rigor when uncertainty detected
  • One-liner install: curl | bash installation

v2.1.0

  • New consultants: Aider, DeepSeek
  • 17 configurable personas
  • Token optimization with AST extraction

v2.0.0

  • Persona system with 15 predefined roles
  • Confidence scoring (1-10) on every response
