- Switch AI models without switching tabs using the HokiPoki CLI. Hop between Claude, Codex, and Gemini when one gets stuck. Use when the user wants to request help from a different AI model, hop to another AI, get a second opinion from another model, switch models, share AI subscriptions with teammates, or manage HokiPoki provider/listener mode. Triggers on: 'use codex/gemini for this', 'hop to another model', 'ask another AI', 'get a second opinion', 'switch models', 'hokipoki', 'listen for requests'.
HokiPoki Skill
Route tasks to different AI CLIs (Claude, Codex, Gemini) via the HokiPoki P2P network. API keys never leave the provider's machine; only encrypted requests and results are exchanged.
Prerequisites
HokiPoki CLI must be installed and authenticated:
npm install -g @next-halo/hokipoki-cli
hokipoki loginVerify with hokipoki whoami. If not installed, guide the user through setup.
Requesting Help from Another AI
Send a task to a remote AI model. Always use --json for parseable output:
# Specific files
hokipoki request --tool claude --task "Fix the auth bug" --files src/auth.ts --json
# Entire directory
hokipoki request --tool codex --task "Add error handling" --dir src/services/ --json
# Whole project (respects .gitignore)
hokipoki request --tool gemini --task "Review for security issues" --all --json
# Route to a team workspace
hokipoki request --tool claude --task "Optimize queries" --files src/db.ts --workspace my-team --json
# Skip auto-apply (just save the patch)
hokipoki request --tool codex --task "Refactor module" --dir src/ --no-auto-apply --jsonTool selection: if the user doesn't specify a tool, ask which model to use or omit --tool to let HokiPoki choose.
Patch Auto-Apply
Patches auto-apply when the target directory is a git repo with committed files. If auto-apply fails, inform the user and suggest:
git init && git add . && git commit -m "initial"Provider Mode (Sharing Your AI)
Register and listen for incoming requests:
# Register as a provider (one-time)
hokipoki register --as-provider --tools claude codex gemini
# Start listening
hokipoki listen --tools claude codexTasks execute in isolated Docker containers (read-only filesystem, tmpfs workspace, auto-cleanup). Docker must be running.

- User is stuck on a problem after multiple attempts
- User asks for a different approach or fresh perspective
- Task involves a domain where another model excels (e.g., Codex for boilerplate, Gemini for large-context analysis)
- User explicitly asks to try another AI
