council

council is a skill for Claude Code from Endokelp/DecisionCouncil. It costs 124 tokens per session (2,256 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured process in which several agents examine an important decision from different viewpoints, check disputed facts, and rank the available options.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for high-stakes choices that need recent evidence, debate, fact checking, a ranked recommendation, and the condition that could change the result.
Why use it?
It makes disagreement and uncertainty visible instead of hiding them in one blended recommendation.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 159 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

DecisionCouncil

A disciplined, adversarial decision procedure inspired by Karpathy's LLM Council and the ECC council pattern. One orchestrator (you, the main session) frames the question, spawns sub-agents with distinct lenses, uses last30days and deep-research only where they earn their tokens, seats a Fact Checker, surfaces real disagreement, and synthesizes a ranked list with a clearly-marked #1 plus the condition that would change the answer.

Different from opinion-only councils: Scout establishes a shared baseline once. Fact Checker verifies contested claims (VERIFIED / PARTLY / FALSE / UNVERIFIABLE). Output is a ranked shortlist, not a single blended paragraph.

Companion skills (install together): last30days for recent social/web signal; deep-research for claim verification.

Cursor (primary)

Install: ~/.cursor/skills/council/SKILL.md (run install.ps1 or install.sh from this repo).

Invoke: user must name the skill or use a trigger phrase (this skill does not auto-load):

  • council this: <question>
  • /council <question> or /council full <question>
  • run the council, pressure-test this, stress-test this, war room this, debate this
  • @council or "use the council skill"

Sub-agents: use the Task tool. Spawn each wave in one message with multiple parallel Task calls.

Repo/file discovery only explore false Use when Step 0 needs codebase context, not for debate personas

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.
