setup

setup is a skill for Claude Code from golemfoundation/octant-council-builder. It costs 13 tokens per session (4,262 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning workflow for designing an evaluation council: a group of agents that assess projects using chosen topics, viewpoints, and information sources.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose an evaluation domain, identify agents and review lenses, select data sources, and plan research, generation, and documentation work.
Why use it?
It turns an undefined evaluation idea into a structured design before implementation begins.

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

setup 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 9d 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 Design — Design Your Evaluation Council

A planning skill that guides the user through designing a custom evaluation council. Two phases: conversational discovery → structured design → plan, then implementation via research/generate/document agents.

Plan mode handles the plan file natively — no manual file writing needed.

Step 1: Enter Plan Mode

EnterPlanMode

Step 2: Dream Extraction

If $ARGUMENTS is empty, ask first:

AskUserQuestion:
  question: "What domain should this council evaluate?"
  header: "Council Domain"
  options:
    - label: "Public goods projects"
      description: "General-purpose evaluation for funding decisions"
    - label: "DeFi protocols"
      description: "Evaluate DeFi projects on security, TVL, governance"
    - label: "L2 rollups"
      description: "Evaluate Layer 2 scaling solutions"
    - label: "Research grants"
      description: "Evaluate academic/applied research proposals"
    - label: "Other"
      description: "Describe your domain"

Store the answer as $DOMAIN. If "Other", use a follow-up text question.

Invoke the conversation sub-skill:

<skill name="council:design-conversation" args="$DOMAIN" />

(If $ARGUMENTS was provided, use it directly as the args.)

This runs a pure conversational dialogue — no structured questions, no tools. It returns a summary with:

  • Domain — what we're evaluating
  • Purpose — what decision this informs
  • Data priorities — top data sources
  • Evaluation priorities — the lenses that matter
  • Skeptic focus — domain-specific red flags
  • Out of scope — what the council won't assess
  • Core essence — the ONE non-negotiable

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.
