ai-council

ai-council is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from event4u-app/agent-config. It costs 47 tokens per session (4,956 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A process for asking external AI models for a second opinion on difficult design or implementation choices. It is intended for cases where the available code and project files do not settle the decision.

In plain words
What is it for?
Comparing competing implementations, choosing between defensible designs, reviewing whether to reopen a recorded decision, and cross-checking roadmaps, code changes, prompts, or files.
Why use it?
It reduces unnecessary interruptions to the user when several reasonable options exist. Results must be reported as inconclusive when the consultation does not reach a verdict.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: mentions subagents; mentions Claude Code.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is **reasoned validation** in [`code-review`](../code-review/SKILL.md).

Good fit Comparing competing implementations, choosing between defensible designs, reviewing whether to reopen a recorded decision, and cross-checking roadmaps, code changes, prompts, or files.

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

ai-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 10d 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.

ai-council

Council-first — try the council BEFORE the user, on these classes

A DESIGN DECISION THE AGENT CANNOT SETTLE FROM THE TREE GOES TO THE COUNCIL
FIRST, NOT TO THE USER FIRST. THE USER IS THE ESCALATION, NOT THE DEFAULT.
NEVER PRESENT A COUNCIL VERDICT THAT WAS NOT REACHED. AN INCONCLUSIVE RUN
IS REPORTED AS INCONCLUSIVE, AND WHATEVER YOU DECIDE INSTEAD IS LABELLED
OWN ANALYSIS.

Interrupting the user is the expensive path: it costs a round trip and their attention, and on a question two models could have settled it buys nothing they wanted to be asked. So the ordering is tree → council → user, and the council leg is the one that gets skipped.

Classes that go to the council first — each is a judgement with a real trade-off and no answer in the tree:

Class Example
Competing implementations of one feature two sessions shipped the same phase; discard, overwrite, or merge
Which of N designs, all defensible four declared types with a derived fifth, or five declared
Reopening a recorded decision an ADR or honest-null blocks a change that now looks net-positive
Scope re-cut inside an authorized task this phase splits into two, or absorbs the next
Is the evidence sufficient to conclude n=1 measurement, a proxy metric, an unreplicated finding

Classes that still go straight to the user, and the council never substitutes for them: anything behind the Hard Floor (non-destructive-by-default) · spend · a scope EXPANSION beyond what was authorized · a decision whose inputs only the user holds (a preference, a deadline, a business constraint) · the high_impact and user_required classes, which ask-when-uncertain routes to the user by Iron Law. A council cannot consent on the user's behalf, and asking it to is not autonomy, it is laundering.

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.

ai-council is a skill published in the GitHub repository event4u-app/agent-config (10 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 4,956 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
