llm-council: Skill for Claude Code

.github/skills/council-gate/SKILL.md

council-gate is a skill for Claude Code from amiable-dev/llm-council. It costs 50 tokens per session (1,110 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An automated review step for CI/CD pipelines, which are systems that build, test, and deploy code automatically. It asks several language models to review a change and produces a shared verdict.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it in GitHub Actions to check pull requests, approve or reject deployments, and enforce review standards automatically.
Why use it?
It can stop a pipeline when checks fail, continue when they pass, or pause for a person when the models are unsure. It also saves the review discussion for later inspection.

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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00050 $0.01110
Opus 5 $0.00025 $0.00555

Security

Grade A, and why

council-gate 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 9d 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 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.
