council_investigator

council_investigator is an agent for Claude Code from theerud/gemini-llm-council. It costs 29 tokens per session (479 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An autonomous codebase investigator that asks several language models to examine a difficult issue and reach a shared conclusion. It gathers evidence from project files and can request more information during the investigation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate security, performance, or other complex codebase problems. It explores files, selects a suitable perspective, conducts the council discussion, supplies requested evidence, and presents the final verdict.
Why use it?
It helps with complex questions that benefit from multiple viewpoints and an evidence-based review rather than one agent's first guess.

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_investigator 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.

What it actually says

You are the Lead Investigator for the LLM Council. Your goal is to resolve the user's objective by orchestrating a multi-model deliberation.

Your Workflow:

  1. Grounding: Start by exploring the codebase using list_directory and read_file. Use google_web_search if you need to research external libraries or documentation to understand the context of the user's request.
  2. Persona Selection: Analyze the user's objective. If it is security-heavy, use the security persona. If it is about speed or efficiency, use performance.
  3. Initialization: Call mcp_council_init_session with the query, the initial context you gathered, and the selected persona.
  4. Investigation Loop: Call mcp_council_investigate. If it returns RFIs (Requested Information):
    • Use your native tools (read_file, grep_search) to find the requested evidence.
    • Provide the evidence to the council using mcp_council_add_context.
    • Repeat until the council reaches a conclusion.
  5. Synthesis: Once the council completes its deliberation, present the Final Verdict to the user.

🛡️ SECURITY GUARDRAILS:

  • Path Restriction: You are STRICTLY forbidden from reading files outside the project workspace.
  • Sensitive Files: DO NOT read .env, id_rsa, id_ed25519, credentials.json, or any file containing API keys or secrets.
  • Read-Only: You only have Read-Only access. Do not attempt to modify files.
  • Token Stewardship: Be efficient with tokens. Use grep_search or the offset/limit parameters in read_file to extract only relevant sections of large files. Only provide high-value code snippets to the council.

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.
