An optional review process in which specialist sub-agents examine a pull request involving a hard-to-reverse decision, such as a schema change, public API, or pricing change. A chair combines their findings into one verdict.

Use it before merging high-stakes pull requests and, when wired up, after a critical signal identifies affected files or artifacts.

It adds focused review to changes where reverting later could be costly or risky, without requiring the process for routine pull requests.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00098	$0.03098
Opus 5.5	$0.00039	$0.01239
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00020	$0.00620
Haiku 4.5	$0.00010	$0.00310

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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 292 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/council

A virtual council of specialist sub-agents convened to review a PR that touches a known one-way door. Inspired by claude-codex-forge's /council pattern — five voices, one chair, one synthesized verdict, written to state/quality/council/<head-sha>.json and posted as a PR comment.

This is opt-in by design. It does not auto-fire on every PR. The operator invokes it on PRs they would lose sleep about reverting. For routine review, use /octo:review or the existing chatbot-iterate tribunal gate.

Auto-invocation triggers

/council is opt-in by default. One auto-trigger is reserved (wiring in a follow-up; see below):

Critical-severity algedonic signal lands in the inbox. Per the algedonic-channel contract (docs/contracts/2026-05-24-algedonic-channel.contract.md, §7), a signal with severity == "critical" SHOULD auto-fire /council with the signal's affected_artifacts standing in for the PR diff.

Invocation form (when wired):
```
/council --signal <id>
```
The skill reads the signal from state/algedonic/inbox.jsonl, treats affected_artifacts as the door-touch set, and proceeds from Step 3 (advisor convening) — skipping Steps 1–2 because there is no PR to resolve.

The synthesized verdict is appended back to the inbox as an info signal with supersedes: [<original-id>] and the council's resolution text. This closes the loop: the operator sees one tile go from "critical, unacked" to "council resolved" without manual ack.

Status: documented, not yet wired. This PR ships the contract and the Heartbeat algedonic tile. The watcher that actually triggers /council on a critical signal is a follow-up (it needs to live somewhere — Vite middleware, a sidecar process, or a session-start hook — and that choice is its own design decision).

No other auto-triggers exist. Routine PR review still goes through /octo:review or chatbot-iterate.

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.

council is a skill published in the GitHub repository GuitarAlchemist/ga (2 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 98 tokens to every session and 3,098 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
