council

council is a skill for Codex from automagik-dev/genie. It costs 32 tokens per session (490 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured review of an important proposal through separate technical, delivery, product, security, and dissenting viewpoints.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess a proposal and produce a combined decision. It does not edit files, change settings, or execute the plan unless explicitly asked.
Why use it?
It exposes trade-offs, risks, usability concerns, delivery problems, and objections before a consequential decision is made.

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 8d 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 — 53 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Council

Runtime syntax: invoke the plugin copy through the active runtime's owner-qualified skill selector; use a bare selector only when intentionally selecting a user-tier copy (a separately installed personal copy; Genie no longer seeds this tier). Cross-skill prose below uses bare names as portable semantic routes; the orchestrator resolves the selector for the active runtime.

Use a council when a consequential decision benefits from independent scrutiny. The council assesses by default; it does not edit files, change configuration, or execute a proposed plan unless the user explicitly asks it to mutate.

Dispatch

Read references/native-surfaces.md relative to the directory containing this loaded SKILL.md and use the active runtime's native delegation surface. Dispatch these lenses independently and in parallel when supported:

  1. Architecture — contracts, coupling, failure modes, operability, and long-term cost.
  2. Delivery — sequencing, testability, migration, rollback, and evidence required to ship.
  3. Product — user value, usability, scope discipline, and compatibility.
  4. Security — trust boundaries, permissions, data exposure, and abuse cases.
  5. Dissent — the strongest evidence-backed case against the emerging consensus.

Give every lens the same decision statement, constraints, evidence, and explicit unknowns. Do not show one lens another lens's conclusion before it answers.

Lens response

Verdict: support | support-with-conditions | oppose | insufficient-evidence
Confidence: low | medium | high
Key evidence:
- ...
Risks or objections:
- ...
Required conditions:
- ...
Unknowns:
- ...

Preserve minority opinions. A dissenting finding is not deleted merely because most lenses agree.

Synthesis

Decision: proceed | proceed-with-conditions | revise | stop | gather-evidence
Consensus: <where the lenses agree>
Dissent: <minority positions, attributed by lens>
Conditions: <concrete prerequisites>
Evidence gaps: <unknowns that could change the decision>
Next action: <one bounded next step>

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.
