# phone-opus

Use `phone_opus.consult` when you want a blocking Claude Code consult without edit permissions.

## When to use it

- Ask for a second opinion on code, architecture, debugging, or design.
- Point Claude at a specific repository with `cwd`.
- Cap the consultation with `max_turns` when needed.

## Tool surface

- `consult`
  - required: `prompt`
  - optional: `cwd`, `max_turns`, `render`, `detail`
- `health_snapshot`
- `telemetry_snapshot`

## Runtime posture

- Uses the system `claude` install.
- Runs with default Claude settings.
- Exposes no MCP servers to Claude.
- Restricts Claude to the read-only built-in toolset:
  - `Bash,Read,Grep,Glob,LS,WebFetch,WebSearch`
- Uses `--permission-mode dontAsk`, so only globally preapproved read-only Bash commands can execute.
- This surface is consultative only. Edit tools are unavailable.

## Example

Call `phone_opus.consult` with:

- `prompt`: `Inspect the Rust workspace and tell me where the retry logic is brittle.`
- `cwd`: `/absolute/path/to/repo`
- `max_turns`: `6`

Expect a blocking response containing Claude's answer plus execution metadata such as duration, turn count, session id, and cost when available.
