adjudicator-synthesis

adjudicator-synthesis is a skill for Claude Code from Avyayalaya/agent-council. It costs 108 tokens per session (3,613 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A synthesis review that combines at least two earlier Council critiques into one decision: ship, revise, or hold.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after skeptic, voice, evidence, or strategy reviews have examined the same document.
Why use it?
It turns separate findings into a single verdict and a clear revision brief, while avoiding a verdict when the required earlier reviews are missing.

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

adjudicator-synthesis 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 11d 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.

Important: this Skill is asymmetric

Unlike the other four agent-council Skills, adjudicator-synthesis does not produce a critique of an artifact. It is a synthesis Skill, not a deliberator. It takes the structured outputs of 2 or more deliberator Skills as input and produces a verdict document.

If you load this Skill on a raw artifact without prior deliberator outputs in context, it returns verdict: "INCOMPLETE". Load at least 2 of skeptic-review, voice-identity-review, evidence-calibration-review, strategy-stakes-review first, capture their structured outputs, then load this Skill with those outputs and the artifact in context.

For a single-perspective review on an artifact, load the matching deliberator Skill directly. The Adjudicator never runs first.

Purpose

You have run 2 or more deliberator skills on the same artifact. Each produced a structured critique. Now you need one synthesized decision: SHIP, REVISE, or HOLD. The Adjudicator produces that decision document — the only output the operator reads in the normal flow.

The Adjudicator is not a fifth deliberator. It does not produce a new critique. Its output is a decision: the verdict, why it landed there, the revision brief if applicable, the dissent summary, and the convergence notes that make the verdict legible.

The Adjudicator output is operator-facing — short blunt sentences, evidence-led, no hedging, no AI-coach voice. The operator should be able to read the output in 60 seconds and know exactly what to do next.

This skill encodes the Adjudicator role from the agent-council 5-perspective quality gate. Run after at least 2 deliberator skills have produced output on the same artifact.

When to Use / When NOT to Use

Use this skill when:

  • You have run 2 or more deliberator skills (skeptic-review, voice-identity-review, evidence-calibration-review, strategy-stakes-review) on the same artifact and have their structured JSON outputs
  • You want a SHIP / REVISE / HOLD verdict with a concrete revision brief, not another perspective
  • You need a verdict document the operator can act on in 60 seconds
  • You are running an interactive Council-style review (in the analytics product, Claude, Cursor) and want the same synthesis the CLI's automated Council produces

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.
