council

council is a skill for Codex from automagik-dev/genie. It costs 32 tokens per session (808 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 1mo 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

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

The council is a saved workflow, not a procedure this skill performs inline. The single source of truth is .claude/workflows/council.js in the genie repository's canonical workflow catalog (see .claude/workflows/README.md there); this skill is its front door. On a runtime that runs saved workflows, run the script at <repository root>/.claude/workflows/council.js when that file exists, otherwise ~/.claude/workflows/council.js (delivered by genie install / genie update); give the runtime that explicit script path, never a bare name — both scopes now carry these names and the order a name resolves in is undocumented. Pass the decision as a string or {decision, constraints?, evidence?, unknowns?}, and relay the returned report unchanged; lenses that returned nothing are listed under notConvened and were never averaged in. On a runtime without a workflow surface, dispatch the lenses below by hand with the same brief; the roster and both response shapes are the workflow's and must not diverge from it.

Dispatch

Choose the lenses the decision needs from the set below, sized to its stakes: Dissent is always included, and at least one other lens supplies independent evidence. Send each chosen lens to its own subagent through the runtime's native delegation surface, in parallel where supported. Every lens receives the same decision statement, constraints, evidence, and explicit unknowns — and nothing else. The session transcript, the emerging consensus, and another lens's answer stay outside the brief, because a lens that reads the room returns an echo instead of evidence. Lenses that run on one model family through one runtime are role-separated, not independent; say so when reporting, alongside the lenses that did not answer.

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

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.

council is a skill published in the GitHub repository automagik-dev/genie (345 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 808 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
