council is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from assafkip/kipi-system. It costs 22 tokens per session (895 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured discussion between four different decision-making roles about an important founder decision. The roles read project files, argue across rounds, and produce a transcript and recommendation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to weigh positioning changes, investor and buyer feedback, design-partner requests, competitive responses, or other decisions where several perspectives matter.
Why use it?
It turns conflicting feedback or uncertain choices into a documented comparison of different viewpoints.

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 10d 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 — 87 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Council

Multi-agent debate for founder decisions. 4 personas argue a topic across structured rounds, respond to each other's actual points, then synthesize. Produces a visible transcript and a recommended path.

When to Use

Invoke when:

  • Conflicting signals from conversations and you need to decide which to follow
  • About to change positioning in canonical files (/q-calibrate)
  • Design partner asks for something that might pull you off-wedge
  • Investor feedback contradicts buyer feedback
  • Competitive move detected and you need a response strategy
  • Any decision where "it depends" means you need structured tension
  • User says "council", "debate this", "weigh options", "get perspectives"

Workflow Routing

Trigger Workflow Time
Full structured debate (3 rounds) workflows/debate.md 30-90 sec
Quick sanity check (1 round) workflows/quick.md 10-20 sec

Default to Quick. Use Debate only for positioning changes, pre-investor prep, or decisions that affect canonical files.

The Personas

4 personas, each anchored to real project files. They read the files before speaking -- grounded opinions, not generic advice.

Persona Perspective Reads Core Question
Operator What we can actually do today q-system/my-project/current-state.md "Can we ship this with what we have?"
Buyer What a CISO/security leader would pay for q-system/canonical/discovery.md, q-system/my-project/relationships.md "Would a buyer pay for this? Does it match what they asked for?"
Investor The fundable narrative q-system/canonical/talk-tracks.md "Does this sharpen or dilute the story?"
Contrarian What's wrong, what we're not seeing q-system/canonical/objections.md, q-system/my-project/competitive-landscape.md "What breaks? What are we ignoring?"

Persona Rules

  • Every persona speaks from their anchored files, not from general knowledge
  • If a canonical file is empty/template, the persona says "I don't have data to ground this" -- no guessing
  • Personas reference specific entries from their files when making points
  • Contrarian must raise at least one uncomfortable point per round

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
