Use it when
in the skill’s own wordsWhen the user wants a firm verdict grounded in this project rather than options or an explainer
- "should we adopt X"
- "should we switch or migrate from X to Y"
- "X vs what we have"
- "is it worth it for us"
- "is this CVE or deprecation our problem"
- "what's your take on this doc, spec, RFC or proposal"
- "which of these approaches should we pick"
- "weigh in"
- "give me your POV"
- "second opinion on this decision"
- "sanity-check this choice"
- Asks for an oracle, panel or cross-check where other models (a local GPU model, Codex) give independent views
- Also when another skill needs a verdict inside its own work, such as settling a disputed review comment

Its helpers
3 agents work by this book- stryx:architect-agentWhen a design question needs its own room: options with trade-offs, or a review of a whole system.
- stryx:mentor-agentYou want to be taught, not only told: the why behind a concept.
- stryx:researcherWhen a question needs research with checked sources: current docs, library choices, earlier work.
Works with
the skills it names most- stryx:explain→You ask how or why something works, or want a recap of past work.
- stryx:bakeoff→When two or more very different approaches must each be drafted before you can choose.
- stryx:brainstorm→You want something new built: it agrees what to build before any code is written.
- stryx:ideate→You want many ideas, quick wins or a surprise before choosing one.
- stryx:plan-review→When a spec, plan or roadmap should be tested for holes before work starts.
- stryx:research→You need an answer with evidence and sources: compare libraries, check current versions, map a codebase.
