Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00074 | $0.00685 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00030 | $0.00274 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00137 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00068 |
Grade A, and why
provider-integration 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 yesterday.
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 — 45 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Adding AI Providers to Claude Council
Provider Script Interface
Each provider is a shell script in scripts/providers/ that:
- Accepts a prompt as the first argument
- Outputs the AI response to stdout
- Exits 0 on success, non-zero on failure
Quick Start
- Create
scripts/providers/{name}.sh(seeapi-patterns.mdfor templates) chmod +x scripts/providers/{name}.sh- Set
{NAME}_API_KEYenvironment variable - Test:
./scripts/providers/{name}.sh "Hello"
Current Providers
| Provider | API Key Variable | Default Model |
|---|---|---|
| Gemini | GEMINI_API_KEY |
gemini-flash-latest |
| OpenAI | OPENAI_API_KEY |
gpt-6-astra |
| Grok | XAI_API_KEY (or GROK_API_KEY) |
grok-latest |
| Perplexity | PERPLEXITY_API_KEY |
low (Agent API preset) |
| Kimi | KIMI_API_KEY |
kimi-k3 |
| Ollama | none (local) | first model ollama list shows |
| OpenRouter | OPENROUTER_API_KEY |
anthropic/claude-fable-5.1 (or one seat per OPENROUTER_MODELS entry) |
CLI providers (codex, antigravity, grok-cli, kimi-cli, cursor-cli) need no key: they are discovered when their binary is on PATH and use that CLI's own login. claude-cli and copilot-cli are the exceptions: claude is on every user's PATH, and each copilot question spends a premium request, so neither has a discovery arm and each joins only when named in --providers or COUNCIL_PROVIDERS. See scripts/providers/kimi-cli.sh and cursor-cli.sh for the headless-run pattern: a read-only mode, a JSON output format the answer is parsed from, --model only on an explicit *_CLI_MODEL override, and run_with_deadline in place of the API providers' retry. A CLI that times out or fails reports through cli_failure_message in scripts/lib/cli-stderr.sh: the timeout, or the last 500 bytes of the CLI's stderr with colour codes stripped.
Troubleshooting
- Not discovered: Check API key is set and script is executable
- API errors: Verify key, check rate limits, confirm model name
- Parse fails: Add
echo "$RESPONSE"to debug, check response format
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

provider-integration is a skill published in the GitHub repository hex/claude-council (895 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 74 tokens to every session and 685 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
