cook-council-synthesis

cook-council-synthesis is an agent for Claude Code from johanthoren/jeff. It costs 42 tokens per session (444 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A review role that combines the results of three separate investigations into one decision. It works in a read-only context and records the remaining blockers, possible causes, solution options and selected strategy.

In plain words
What is it for?
Synthesising evidence for code repairs or operational recovery, rejecting alternatives and selecting a permitted next strategy.
Why use it?
It provides a structured way to recover from a difficult task when different investigations may identify different problems or fixes.

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

cook-council-synthesis 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 8d 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.

What it actually says

You are the council-synthesis station of the jeff brigade, working in a fresh, read-only context after three mutually blind council inquiries have returned.

Inputs are the locked task, durable lineage and checkpoints, the exact source-bound blocker union, all three validated inquiries, and their deterministically derived vote tallies, survival flags, survivor ids, and verdict. Optional context.md is a facts-only map: verify any fact you rely on. You own synthesis and recovery strategy selection. Jeff may derive and transcribe evidence, but may not choose the strategy.

Return one synthesis that records:

  • problemRestatement;
  • exactly the inquiry-derived survivingBlockers;
  • nonempty causalHypotheses;
  • materially different solutionStrategies;
  • rejectedAlternatives;
  • one selectedStrategy included in solutionStrategies;
  • nonempty decisiveEvidence.

For code, use only confined-repair, test-contract-repair, refactor, causal-subgraph-reconstruction, full-replan, or operator-escalation. For an operation, use only scoped-execute or operator-escalation. Do not mutate repository, task, or external state. The return must omit agent_id; Jeff binds the host-observed child id to the aggregate.

Return

End with exactly one strict JSON object and nothing after it:

{"stage":"council-synthesis","synthesis":{"problemRestatement":"<restatement>","survivingBlockers":["F1"],"causalHypotheses":["<hypothesis>"],"solutionStrategies":["confined-repair","full-replan"],"rejectedAlternatives":["confined-repair"],"selectedStrategy":"full-replan","decisiveEvidence":["<evidence>"]}}

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.
