llm-council

llm-council is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gcpdev/llm-council-skill. It costs 82 tokens per session (988 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning skill that asks multiple AI models, such as ChatGPT and Gemini, for opinions before producing an implementation plan. It compares their suggestions and combines useful points with its own analysis.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you explicitly want other AI models consulted about an implementation plan, architecture choice, or technical question.
Why use it?
It gives a plan more than one AI perspective and can reveal alternative approaches or concerns. It requires API keys and configuration for the models it contacts.

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

llm-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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/query_llms.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 89 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

LLM Council

Consult multiple AI models (ChatGPT and Gemini) for their perspectives before presenting implementation plans to users.

Workflow

When user requests consultation with other AI models, use phrases like:

  • "Consult with ChatGPT and Gemini about..."
  • "Ask other AI models what they think about..."
  • "Get perspectives from the council on..."
  • "Consult the LLM council: [your question]"

Process:

  1. Query external LLMs: Run scripts/query_llms.py with the user's prompt to get perspectives from both ChatGPT and Gemini
  2. Analyze responses: Review what each model suggests, identifying valuable insights, alternative approaches, and potential concerns
  3. Synthesize plan: Create an implementation plan that incorporates the best ideas from all three models (Claude's own analysis + ChatGPT + Gemini)
  4. Present to user: Show the final plan along with a brief summary of key contributions from each model

Setup Requirements

The skill requires API keys and optional model configuration stored in a .env file in the working directory:

OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
GEMINI_API_KEY=...

# Optional: Specify which models to use (defaults shown below)
OPENAI_MODEL=gpt-5-nano
GEMINI_MODEL=gemini-3-flash-preview

Default Models:

  • ChatGPT: gpt-5-nano (fastest, most cost-efficient - $0.05/1M input, $0.40/1M output)
  • Gemini: gemini-3-flash-preview (balanced speed and intelligence)

Upgrade Options for Better Collaboration:

OpenAI models (ordered by capability and cost):

  • gpt-5-nano - Fastest, most cost-efficient ($0.05/1M in, $0.40/1M out) - DEFAULT
  • gpt-5-mini - Faster, cost-efficient for well-defined tasks ($0.25/1M in, $2.00/1M out)
  • gpt-5.2 - Best for coding and agentic tasks ($1.75/1M in, $14.00/1M out)
  • gpt-5.2-pro - Smarter, more precise for complex problems ($21.00/1M in, $168.00/1M out)

All models support reasoning tokens, 400K context window, and image input.

Gemini models (ordered by capability):

  • gemini-2.5-flash-lite - Ultra-fast, optimized for throughput
  • gemini-2.5-flash - Best price-performance, large-scale processing
  • gemini-3-flash-preview - Balanced speed and frontier intelligence (default)
  • gemini-3-pro-preview - Most intelligent multimodal model, best for complex reasoning

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.

llm-council is a skill published in the GitHub repository gcpdev/llm-council-skill (479 stars, last pushed 9mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 82 tokens to every session and 988 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings.
