alitahir6001 Show or set the advisor model
The advisor's model can come from two places: an override file this skill
manages (~/.the-advisor/model), or the ADVISOR_MODEL set at install
(--config advisor_model=... / /plugin configure). The override file
wins when present - that's what lets this work with no restart, identically
in the desktop app and a terminal, regardless of which one is running it.
No argument: show the current model
Run via Bash:
cat ~/.the-advisor/model 2>/dev/null
If that's empty or the file doesn't exist, tell the user the override isn't
set and the advisor is using whatever ADVISOR_MODEL was set at install -
you cannot read that value directly, so say so rather than guessing it.
An argument: set the model
Run via Bash:
mkdir -p ~/.the-advisor && printf '%s' "<model>" > ~/.the-advisor/model.tmp && mv ~/.the-advisor/model.tmp ~/.the-advisor/model
(Write-then-rename, not a direct write: a killed shell mid-write leaves the old override intact instead of blanking it - advisor-reviewed, 2026-09-06.)
Confirm the new value back to the user. It takes effect on the very next
/consult - no restart needed, in either the desktop app or a terminal.
