# Claude Consult
Get expert help from Claude specialist agents during implementation. Each agent
has domain-specific skills pre-loaded and tools scoped to its role.
**This is NOT a replacement for the review gates.** The `agent-loops` skill
defines formal code review (`specialist-review`) and test audit
(`diff-test-audit`) gates that run after implementation. This skill is for
asking questions **during** implementation — before you've written code, while
you're writing it, or when you're stuck.
## When to Use
- "How does this module work?" — before implementing
- "Does my approach match existing conventions?" — while implementing
- "Is this pattern secure?" — before committing to a design
- "Why is this test failing?" — when stuck
- "What do the testing standards say about X?" — before writing tests
- "Is this component accessible?" — during UI work
## How to Invoke
```bash
claude -p --agent <agent-name> "<your question>"
```
All agents run headless (`-p` / print mode). They read the codebase, apply their
loaded skills, and return an answer to stdout. Capture or pipe as needed:
```bash
# Direct invocation
claude -p --agent debugger "Why is test_auth_flow failing in src/auth/tests.py?"
# Capture to variable
ANSWER=$(claude -p --agent security-auditor "Is the input validation in src/api/handler.py safe?")
# Save to file
claude -p --agent architect-reviewer "Does adding a cache layer between api and db match the existing architecture?" > /tmp/arch-advice.md
```
