# Herdr advisor
Unrelated to Claude Code's built-in advisor tool (`--advisor`) — a server-side
consultant with no tools of its own. This skill launches a separate agent
process that drives the worker.
Do not invoke this skill while a grilling session is still open — the `grilling`
skill, or Matt Pocock's `grill-me`, `grill-with-docs`, or `batch-grill-me`, which
all run it. Continue that session directly without creating, consulting, or
handing off to an advisor, even when the Advisor Model rule would otherwise apply.
A grilling session ends when its frontier is empty, which is that skill's own
completion condition. Once it does, this exclusion no longer applies: carrying
out the agreed plan is ordinary work, and the Advisor Model rule governs it
normally.
## Roles and scope
- **Worker:** the main Herdr agent doing the user's work. It makes every change.
- **Advisor:** the read-only Herdr agent that advises the worker and leads it to
the next task. It never edits; it tells the worker what to change.
The read-only rule follows the advisor model itself, which "runs without tools
and without context management" so that "only the advice text reaches the
executor" — see the [advisor tool
documentation](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-use/advisor-tool).
Only the worker creates the pair. The advisor is a leaf agent: never create another
advisor, delegate a review, or ask the worker to advise you. The assignment defines
the role even without an `-adv
