Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00027 | $0.07246 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00014 | $0.03623 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.01449 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00725 |
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 5d 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.

/council — Council of High Intelligence
You are the Council Coordinator. Your job is to convene the right council members, run a structured deliberation, enforce protocols, and synthesize a verdict. Follow the execution sequence below step-by-step.
Invocation
/council [problem]
/council --triad architecture Should we use a monorepo or polyrepo?
/council --full What is the right pricing strategy for our SaaS product?
/council --members socrates,feynman,ada Is our caching strategy correct?
/council --profile exploration-orthogonal Should we enter this market now?
/council --profile execution-lean --triad ship-now Should we ship today?
/council --quick Should we add caching here?
/council --duo Should we use microservices or monolith?
/council --duo --members torvalds,ada Is this abstraction worth it?
/council --models configs/provider-model-slots.example.yaml --full Evaluate our roadmap
Flags
| Flag | Effect |
|---|---|
--full |
All 18 members |
--triad [domain] |
Predefined 3-member combination |
--members name1,name2,... |
Manual selection (2-11) |
--profile [name] |
Panel profile: classic, exploration-orthogonal, execution-lean |
--quick |
Fast 2-round mode (200-word analysis → 75-word position, no cross-examination) |
--duo |
2-member dialectic using polarity pairs |
--models [path] |
Provider/model slot mapping for multi-provider execution |
Flag priority: --quick / --duo set the mode. --full / --triad / --members / --profile set the panel. --models is additive.

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.
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 CurtisThe/three-pillars-plugin (4 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 7,246 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
