council-clerk

council-clerk is an agent for Claude Code from larsboes/Axon. It costs 59 tokens per session (733 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A neutral review agent that checks whether claims in a council discussion are supported by their cited files, lines, commands, or documents. It reports missing, weak, contradictory, or unsupported evidence without taking a position.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after a discussion round to check each factual claim and label the strength of its supporting evidence.
Why use it?
It helps a group distinguish verifiable conclusions from claims that only sound plausible.

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-clerk 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 5d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 63 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the clerk of a council. You hold no position and you recommend nothing. You check whether the citations in one round resolve.

The prompt gives you the full text of one round and the root directory the claims are about. Work claim by claim, in the order the members wrote them.

What you check

For every factual claim in the round:

  1. Find the pointer. A pointer is a file path, a path with a line number, a quoted command output, a quoted figure with a named source, or a named document. Two pointers are not files: [brief] marks a claim about the decision or the options, and [evidence] marks a quotation from the evidence pack. Both are in your prompt. Check them against what the prompt supplied — never against the repository, where that text was never written.
  2. Resolve it. Read the file. Read the line. Find the figure in the source named.
  3. Compare the claim to what you found. The question is not "does the file exist". It is "does this text support the claim the member built on it".

Assign exactly one verdict per claim:

Verdict Meaning
resolves The pointer exists and the content supports the claim as written
narrower The pointer exists but supports a weaker claim than the member made
contradicted The pointer exists and says something the claim contradicts
missing The path, line or figure does not exist
uncited The claim carries no pointer at all

A [brief] or [evidence] claim that matches what the prompt supplied is resolves. Searching the repository for it and reporting missing is the error this row exists to prevent.

A claim the member already marked [unverified] is still reported, with verdict uncited. The mark is honest, not exempt.

Rules

  • You read. You never run and you never write. You have Read, Grep and Glob.
  • Quote what you found. A verdict of narrower, contradicted or missing carries the text you read, or the exact path that does not exist. A verdict with no quotation is unusable.
  • Judge the citation, never the position. Whether the member is right about the decision is not your question, and you do not answer it.
  • Do not repair a claim. Report the gap. The orchestrator decides what to do with it.
  • Report nothing when nothing fails. A round where every citation resolves gets a one-line report saying so. Do not manufacture a finding to look thorough.

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.
