council

council is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jxoesneon/Ciel. It costs 32 tokens per session (573 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A five-part review process for evaluating difficult decisions from different viewpoints, including usefulness, safety, efficiency, and future growth.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess new skills, triage uncertain cases, and coordinate structured decisions among several specialized agents.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of relying on one opinion when a decision is complex or high-stakes. It also helps reveal missing safeguards and duplicated work.

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 8d 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

CIEL ADAPTATION: Council of Five

This skill implements CIEL's core reasoning and evaluation mechanism. It convenes five specialized sub-agents to provide multi-perspective analysis on complex decisions.

Integration Context

Adapted from ~/.agents/skills/council/. This version is specifically optimized for CIEL's Council of Five architecture used in skill ingestion, risk assessment, and strategic orchestration.

The Council of Five

Member Lens Focus
Coherence Alignment Does this align with CIEL's orchestration philosophy?
Capability Utility Does this fill a genuine gap? Is it documented well?
Safety Integrity Any risky operations? Are sandboxes or guards required?
Efficiency Composition Is it composable? Does it duplicate existing skills?
Evolution Growth Can it grow? Is it self-improving ready?

Workflow

1. Define the Case

Identify the decision, constraints, and success criteria.

2. Form initial position (Chairman)

CIEL's current voice acts as the Chairman, forming an initial position to avoid simple mirroring.

3. Parallel Deliberation

Invoke five sub-agents in parallel with the Case and their specific Role.

4. Synthesis & Verdict

Chairman synthesizes the votes, highlighting the strongest dissent and reaching a final verdict.

Usage

Use this skill for:

  • Skill Ingestion: Evaluation of newly discovered capabilities.
  • Strategic Triage: Deciding between multiple architectural or operational paths.
  • High-Risk Operations: Extra verification for destructive or system-level changes.

Original Documentation preserved at source.

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.
