Does the Probe skill consume API tokens?

The probe typically performs a minimal handshake or metadata request to verify connectivity, resulting in negligible token usage compared to full reasoning tasks.

How do I fix an 'unreachable' status for the Neurologist?

Ensure your local provider like Ollama is running ('ollama serve') and verify the endpoint URL in your 3-surgeons configuration file.

What is the difference between Probe and Gains-Gate?

Probe is a high-speed connectivity check focused on endpoint availability, while Gains-Gate is a comprehensive audit that verifies state backends and evidence stores.

Can I still use Claude if the other surgeons are down?

Yes, Atlas (Claude) remains operational, but the multi-model consensus benefits and cross-examination safety nets will be unavailable until connectivity is restored.

Analytics & Monitoring

Verifies connectivity and operational status for remote and local LLM endpoints within the 3-surgeons consensus system.

The Probe skill serves as a vital diagnostic utility for the 3-surgeons multi-model framework, ensuring that the Cardiologist (OpenAI) and Neurologist (local Ollama/MLX) are reachable before performing critical tasks. By providing immediate feedback on latency and specific error codes, it helps developers distinguish between transient network issues and persistent configuration errors. This skill is essential for maintaining the reliability of cross-model examinations, allowing users to validate their infrastructure at the start of a session or after modifying environment variables and local model services.
