council

council is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Jamkris/everything-gemini-code. It costs 38 tokens per session (1,392 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of council, MIT.

A structured group of four viewpoints for decisions where several reasonable choices exist. It brings together an in-context voice, a skeptic, a pragmatist, and a critic before choosing a direction.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for go-or-no-go calls, rollout choices, architecture alternatives, or other decisions that need competing perspectives.
Why use it?
It exposes trade-offs and disagreement that can be missed when one person or agent settles too quickly on the first plausible answer. It is meant for ambiguous decisions, not routine execution.

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 3d 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 — 204 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Council

Convene four advisors for ambiguous decisions:

  • the in-context Gemini voice
  • a Skeptic subagent
  • a Pragmatist subagent
  • a Critic subagent

This is for decision-making under ambiguity, not code review, implementation planning, or architecture design.

When to Use

Use council when:

  • a decision has multiple credible paths and no obvious winner
  • you need explicit tradeoff surfacing
  • the user asks for second opinions, dissent, or multiple perspectives
  • conversational anchoring is a real risk
  • a go / no-go call would benefit from adversarial challenge

Examples:

  • monorepo vs polyrepo
  • ship now vs hold for polish
  • feature flag vs full rollout
  • simplify scope vs keep strategic breadth

When NOT to Use

Instead of council Use
Verifying whether output is correct santa-method
Breaking a feature into implementation steps planner
Designing system architecture architect
Reviewing code for bugs or security code-reviewer or santa-method
Straight factual questions just answer directly
Obvious execution tasks just do the task

Roles

Voice Lens
Architect correctness, maintainability, long-term implications
Skeptic premise challenge, simplification, assumption breaking
Pragmatist shipping speed, user impact, operational reality
Critic edge cases, downside risk, failure modes

The three external voices should be launched as fresh subagents with only the question and relevant context, not the full ongoing conversation. That is the anti-anchoring mechanism.

Workflow

1. Extract the real question

Reduce the decision to one explicit prompt:

  • what are we deciding?
  • what constraints matter?
  • what counts as success?

If the question is vague, ask one clarifying question before convening the council.

2. Gather only the necessary context

If the decision is codebase-specific:

  • collect the relevant files, snippets, issue text, or metrics
  • keep it compact
  • include only the context needed to make the decision

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.
