A hidden advisor command exists but stays disabled unless two internal gates pass.

A new hidden built-in command, advisor ("Let Claude consult a stronger model at key moments"), has been added, including non-interactive support and an argument hint listing available advisor models plus off. It stays hidden and disabled unless two internal gates both pass.

Since it was published

The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.

Added since A small documentation edit on All settings touched a line naming advisor after this was published. Pick which model answers when Claude calls the server-side [advisor tool](/docs/en/advisor). Unset it to turn the advisor off. The advisor must be at least as capable as your main model. See [Choose an advisor model](/docs/en/advisor#choos… settings-reference see the edit
Confirmed since Anthropic's documentation has since written up advisor, on Archive Session. - `type: "advisor"` api/beta/sessions/archive see the edit
