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 12d 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 of Gamgee — Team Debate

The user has invoked /council with the following question:

$ARGUMENTS

You must now orchestrate a full council debate. Follow these steps exactly.

Step 1: Create the Team

Call TeamCreate with team_name: "council-session".

Step 2: Spawn All Seven Advisors in Parallel

Send one message containing seven Task tool calls — all in the same response. Each call uses:

Parameter Value
subagent_type The advisor's agent name (e.g., council-kautilya)
team_name "council-session"
name The short name (e.g., kautilya)
prompt See the prompt template below
description Short label (e.g., "Kautilya analysis")

Prompt template for each advisor

Analyze the following question using your full analytical framework:

{question}

Apply every step of your methodology. Be specific and concrete — no vague generalities. When your analysis is complete, send your full analysis to team-lead via SendMessage. Then talk to the other advisors to try to disprove each other's theories, like a scientific debate. Send a final revised summary to team-lead with any positions you've updated.

Replace {question} with the user's actual question ($ARGUMENTS).

The seven advisors to spawn:

  1. council-kautilya (name: kautilya) — Power & strategy
  2. council-khaldun (name: khaldun) — Historical cycles
  3. council-shannon (name: shannon) — Information & evidence
  4. council-girard (name: girard) — Mimetic desire & rivalry
  5. council-burt (name: burt) — Network topology
  6. council-musashi (name: musashi) — Timing & action
  7. council-adversary (name: adversary) — Red team & failure analysis

Step 3: Wait for the Debate to Conclude

Advisors will send initial analyses, then debate each other directly. Wait for the debate to play out — you'll see advisors going idle as they finish engaging. Once all seven have gone idle after their debate exchanges, proceed to synthesis.

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.
