ai-orchestration

Multi-model AI collaboration via orchestrator MCP. Use when seeking second opinions, debugging complex issues, building consensus on architectural decisions, conducting code reviews, or needing external validation on analysis.

AI CLI Orchestration

Query external AI models (claude, codex, gemini) for second opinions, debugging, consensus building, and expert validation.

Tools Overview

| Tool | Mode | Description | | ----------- | ----------- | -------------------------------------------- | | ai_call | Synchronous | Call AI and wait for result | | ai_spawn | Async | Start AI in background, get job ID | | ai_fetch | Async | Get result from spawned AI (with timeout) | | ai_list | Utility | List all running/completed AI jobs | | ai_review | Convenience | Spawn all 3 AIs in parallel with same prompt |

Role Hierarchy

| CLI | Role | Mode | Capabilities | | ------ | ----------- | --------- | ---------------------------------- | | claude | Worker/Peer | Full | Can execute any tool/command | | codex | Reviewer | Read-only | Code review, analysis, suggestions | | gemini | Researcher | Read-only | Web search, documentation lookup |

Parallel Execution (Recommended)

# Spawn all 3 models in parallel
claude_job = ai_spawn(cli="claude", prompt="Analyze this code for bugs...")
codex_job = ai_spawn(cli="codex", prompt="Review this code for patterns...")
gemini_job = ai_spawn(cli="gemini", prompt="Research best practices for...")

# All running simultaneously! Fetch results:
claude_result = ai_fetch(job_id=claude_job.job_id, timeout=120)
codex_result = ai_fetch(job_id=codex_job.job_id, timeout=120)
gemini_result = ai_fetch(job_id=gemini_job.job_id, timeout=120)

# Total time = slowest model (~60s) instead of sum (~180s)

Or use ai_review for convenience:

review = ai_review(prompt="Analyze this architecture decision...", files=["src/"])
claude_result = ai_fetch(job_id=review.jobs["claude"].job_id, timeout=120)

When to Use External Models

Do use when: Stuck on complex bugs, architectural decisions with tradeoffs, need validation before major refactoring, security-sensitive code, want diverse perspectives

Don't use when: Simple work, already confident, just executing known solution

Tips

  • Use parallel for multi-model: ai_spawn + ai_fetch is 3x faster than sequential
  • Be specific: Include file paths, error messages, and context
  • Use appropriate CLI: codex for code review, gemini for web search
  • Delegate complex work: Use sub-agents for structured analysis
  • Remember read-only: Codex and Gemini cannot execute commands or modify files
  • Include files: Use the files parameter to provide code context
  • Monitor jobs: Use ai_list() to check status of all running jobs
