council

council is a command for coding agents from volkthienpreecha/modesofthinking. It costs 14 tokens per session (109 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for asking two to four independent AI agents to examine a problem and then combining their conclusions. The agents’ differences are part of the review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for difficult choices, uncertain plans, or problems where several viewpoints may change the conclusion; specify whether to use two, three, or four agents.
Why use it?
Independent opinions can reveal assumptions or risks that one analysis misses. Comparing disagreement gives a broader basis for a decision.

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 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 3d 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

Use the modes-of-thinking skill in council mode. Follow that mode's workflow and output contract exactly. Treat the text below as the user's request. Before doing any council work, ask the user to choose 2, 3, or 4 agents when agents=N is missing; reject any other count.

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.
