 consult is an MCP server that lets Claude Code, Codex and Grok ask each other, and Google's Antigravity CLI, for advice through the CLIs already signed in on your machine. No API keys: each advisor runs on the subscription its CLI already uses.
 
-Claude Code on Opus can ask Codex on GPT-6 Astra to review a plan, Codex can ask Grok why a test is flaky, or any of them can put one question to all the others at once. With [task dispatch](#task-dispatch) on, an agent can also hand a coding task to a Codex or Grok worker and follow its progress.
+Claude Code on Opus can ask Codex on GPT-6 Astra to review a plan, Codex can ask Grok why a test is flaky, or any of them can put one question to all the others at once. Before calling work done, an agent can have the other vendors [review its diff](#review-your-changes) in one call, and so can you, from the terminal:
+
+```bash
+npx -y consult-mcp@latest review            # every installed advisor reviews your uncommitted changes
+npx -y consult-mcp@latest review --base main
+```
+
+With [live sessions](#live-sessions) on, agents can also ask the sessions you already have running and message them, and with [task dispatch](#task-dispatch) on, hand a coding task to a Codex or Grok worker and follow its progress.

+
+On Windows, everything except [live sessions](#live-sessions) and [session messages](#session-messages) works: those find sessions with `ps` and `lsof` and deliver messages through POSIX shell hooks, so they stay off there. consult never runs an advisor through `cmd.exe`, which would reinterpret characters like `&` and `%` in a question: for a CLI installed as an npm `.cmd` shim it runs the script or binary the shim points at directly.
+
+Check the setup with `npx -y consult-mcp@latest doctor`. It reports each agent CLI and its version, whether consult is registered with it, your settings, the message hooks and whether agy's config is read-only, with a fix for each problem. `doctor --ask` also sends each advisor a one-word question, which shows that its CLI is signed in and can answer.

 The instructions also tell it to prefer an advisor from a different vendor, to write self-contained questions (the advisor can read the repo but not the conversation), and to check advice against the code before acting on it.
 
+## Review your changes
+
+consult collects the diff itself and sends it to each advisor with review instructions: find real bugs, regressions, security problems and broken contracts with the rest of the code, give severity, `file:line`, the failing scenario and a fix, skip style nits, and say so plainly when nothing is worth fixing. Advisors read the surrounding code to check their findings before reporting them, and stay read-only like any other advisor.
+
+- Without `base`, it reviews everything not yet committed: staged and unstaged changes against `HEAD`, plus the names of new untracked files, which advisors read directly.
+- With `base` (e.g. `main`), it reviews the branch since it left `base`, including uncommitted work (`git diff --merge-base main`).
+- `focus` adds what to look at especially, e.g. `"error handling in the retry path"`.
+
+It always reviews the whole repository, even from a subdirectory, and advisors run at the repository root. The question reaches each CLI as one command-line argument, so the diff is cut to fit: up to about 110 KB on Linux, 190 KB on macOS and 25 KB on Windows, whose command lines are shortest. The advisors are told to read the changed files for the rest. External diff, textconv, fsmonitor and clean/process filter commands are off, so collecting the diff runs nothing but git.
+
+From the shell, `consult review` uses every advisor CLI on your `PATH` unless you pass `--agents codex,grok`:
+
+```bash
+consult review --base main --focus "the new caching layer"
+consult review --agents codex --effort high > review.md
+```
+
+Progress goes to stderr and the reviews to stdout, one section per advisor, each with the command for a follow-up question in the same conversation. The command exits 1 only if every advisor failed.

 Off by default. When on, agents can ask the agent sessions you already have running, not only fresh advisors. For example, the Codex session working on your API can ask the Claude Code session that wrote the client what it changed.
