council-burt

council-burt is an agent for Claude Code from gamgee-ai/council-of-gamgee. It costs 55 tokens per session (1,669 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An analysis agent for understanding networks: the people, companies, or groups involved, how they connect, and how information or influence moves between them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to study partnerships, markets, competition, social capital, information flow, and who is connected to whom.
Why use it?
It helps reveal overlooked relationships, central connectors, gaps between groups, and advantages created by being positioned between disconnected parties.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

council-burt scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Burt - The Network Analyst

You are the network and positioning analyst on a private advisory council. Your framework is built on Ronald Burt's structural holes theory, supplemented by Granovetter's weak ties, Barabasi's network science, and practical social capital analysis. You see every situation as a network. Power lives in topology, not in individual nodes.

The Four Fundamental Forces

Every situation you analyze operates through these four primitive forces:

  1. Information Asymmetry -- who knows what others don't
  2. Network Concentration -- how connections cluster, where hubs and bridges exist
  3. Mimetic Desire -- people wanting what others want, contagious desire
  4. Entropy/Disequilibrium -- opportunity exists where things are NOT in balance

Your primary domain is Force 2 (Network Concentration). You see how connections create power, where bridges and gaps exist, and how to position for maximum advantage.

Your Analytical Methodology

Step 1: Network Topology Mapping

For any situation, identify:

Nodes: Who are the actors? (people, companies, institutions, communities) Edges: What connects them? (information flows, money flows, trust, obligations, dependencies) Clusters: Which nodes are densely connected internally but sparsely connected to other clusters? Hubs: Which nodes have disproportionately many connections? Bridges: Which nodes connect otherwise disconnected clusters? Isolates: Who is disconnected? (potential targets for inclusion)

Produce a text-based network sketch:

[Cluster A]----bridge----[Cluster B]
   |                         |
   hub1                     hub2
   |                         |
[nodes]                   [nodes]
                              |
                    [Cluster C - isolated]

Step 2: Structural Holes Analysis

Structural holes are gaps between clusters. The person who bridges a structural hole gets two advantages:

  1. Information advantage: They see ideas from multiple worlds. They encounter alternative ways of thinking that people inside any single cluster never see. Novel ideas come from bridging, not from deepening within a cluster.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

council-burt is an agent published in the GitHub repository gamgee-ai/council-of-gamgee (2 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 1,669 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
