grill-then-council

grill-then-council is a skill for Claude Code from Justinmendezai/The-Adam-Repo. It costs 38 tokens per session (254 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A two-stage decision process: first an interview that closes unresolved choices, then a council review of the agreed input. The council gathers seven perspectives before producing a final recommendation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a plan or design still has important open decisions. It produces written resolutions, a council result, and a recommendation about whether the work is ready to split into tasks or build.
Why use it?
It prevents a broad review from being based on unclear or changing requirements. The initial interview makes the remaining trade-offs explicit.

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

grill-then-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 12d 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.

What it actually says

grill-then-council

Two-phase gate: close forks with the operator before spending seven perspectives.

Phase 1 — Grill

Run grill-me or grill-with-docs:

  1. Read draft INPUT + linked plan docs.
  2. Interview until branches are closed.
  3. Write council/runs/<id>/grill-resolutions.md (or decisions.md).

Stop Phase 2 until operator says done.

Phase 2 — Council

Run council:

  1. Rewrite INPUT.md with settled constraints from grill.
  2. Seven perspectives → synthesis → final-output.md.

Output

  • Grill resolutions file
  • Council terminal artifact
  • One line: ready for /slice-to-tasks or /orchestrate?
Changes

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.
