About
The GPT-5 Consultant skill provides a secondary, high-level perspective when standard debugging or problem-solving approaches reach an impasse. By gathering full conversational context—including failed attempts, stack traces, and system constraints—this skill allows Claude to consult an external reasoning engine to identify obscure edge cases, provide architectural oversight, or offer novel solutions to persistent technical challenges. It is particularly effective for multi-system debugging and high-stakes design decisions where a fresh expert opinion is needed to break through frustration and restore progress.
