Ask AI Provider
Send the user's request to the specified AI provider via ask.
Usage
The first argument must be the provider name. The message MUST be provided via stdin (heredoc or pipe), not as CLI arguments, to avoid shell globbing issues:
gemini- Send to Geminiclaude- Send to Claudeopencode- Send to OpenCodedroid- Send to Droid
Execution (MANDATORY)
CCB_CALLER=codex ask $PROVIDER <<'EOF'
$MESSAGE
EOF
Rules
- After running the command, say "[Provider] processing..." and immediately end your turn.
- Do not wait for results or check status in the same turn.
- The task ID and log file path will be displayed for tracking.
Examples
/ask gemini What is 12+12?(send via heredoc)CCB_CALLER=codex ask gemini <<'EOF'What is 12+12?EOF
Notes
- If it fails, check backend health with the corresponding ping command (
ccb-ping <provider>(e.g.,ccb-ping gemini)). - Codex-managed sessions default to foreground; use
--backgroundorCCB_ASK_BACKGROUND=1for async.
