roundtable AGENTS.md

Instructions for Roundtable, a command-line tool and MCP server that asks several AI models for independent answers and can have them discuss a question until they reach agreement.

In plain words
What is it for?
Installing Roundtable, configuring its model connections, asking for advice from several models, and running a chaired discussion toward consensus.
Why use it?
It provides multiple AI viewpoints for decisions instead of depending on one model's answer. Its research mode can help when an answer needs current facts from the web.

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 E, and why

roundtable AGENTS.md scanned grade E with 4 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 yesterday.

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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

Keys live in `~/.config/roundtable/config.env` (dotenv, `chmod 600`, sourced — no parser).

curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

AGENTS.md — Roundtable

A guide for coding agents (and the humans wiring them up). Roundtable is a CLI + MCP server that convenes a council of frontier models on a question and, optionally, runs a chaired deliberation to consensus. It's a Frontier Infra project — we eat our own cooking: our own agents call Roundtable before the decisions that matter.

What it is

One command, several model "heads", run in parallel:

  • Advisory (default) — every configured head answers once, blind to the others.
  • Deliberation (--rounds N) — heads read each other and revise; a Claude chair declares CONSENSUS / CONTINUE and the run stops early on consensus.
  • Research (--research) — web on, multi-step, for answers that need current facts.

Heads: grok · codex · openai · glm · minimax · claude · gemini. A head with no key/CLI is skipped inline — the council runs on whatever subset is configured (so it works on API keys alone, no local CLIs required).

Install

# Canonical one-liner
curl -fsSL https://roundtable.sh/install.sh | bash

# Or pip / uv (thin launcher around the same engine)
pip install roundtable
uv tool install roundtable

# Or Homebrew
brew install frontier-infra/tap/roundtable

# Or from a clone
git clone https://github.com/frontier-infra/roundtable && cd roundtable && ./install.sh --from .

The installer drops the engine under ${XDG_DATA_HOME:-~/.local/share}/roundtable and symlinks roundtable into ~/.local/bin. If that's not on your PATH, the installer prints the exact export PATH=... line to add.

Configure keys

roundtable auth                 # interactive: masked paste per provider, shows ✓/✗
roundtable auth anthropic       # configure just one provider
roundtable doctor               # which heads are configured + a reachability ping

Keys live in ~/.config/roundtable/config.env (dotenv, chmod 600, sourced — no parser). You can also write it directly:

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.
