council_runner

council_runner is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jxoesneon/Ciel. It costs 19 tokens per session (687 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool that runs a three-stage review by five evaluators, then combines their results into one chairperson's verdict. It can use parallel or sequential subagents depending on the command-line environment.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to score an artifact, anonymize first-round results, run cross-review, synthesize votes, and save the review outcome.
Why use it?
It organizes several independent opinions and produces a recorded, weighted conclusion instead of requiring manual coordination.

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_runner 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.

council_runner

Orchestrate the 3-stage Council of Five.

Operations

  • council.run(scope, artifact, context?) — returns Chairman verdict.
  • council.stage1(members, artifact) — parallel scoring.
  • council.anonymize(stage1_outputs) — Stage 2 prep.
  • council.stage2(members, anonymized) — cross-review.
  • council.chairman(stage2_outputs, weights) — synthesis.
  • council.record(run_id, payload) — persist to ~/.ciel/council/<id>/.

I/O Contract

io_contract:
  input: { scope, artifact, "context?" }
  output: { verdict, weighted_score, pivotal_lens, votes, run_id }
  idempotent: no (but deterministic with seed)
  side_effects: [fs, "network?"]

Runtime Adaptation

  • Claude Code: nested subagents (see adapters/claude_code/COUNCIL_INVOCATION.md).
  • Gemini CLI: parallel top-level subagents.
  • Devin: five parallel run_subagent dispatches per stage (see adapters/devin/COUNCIL_INVOCATION.md).
  • Generic: sequential inline.

Enforcement Contract

Member-as-subagent is a mechanism, not prose (docket council-20260923-conversation-audit, mechanism M1). Every run MUST:

  1. Write the evidence pack to a readable path and dispatch each member as an individual subagent — never inline deliberation, never truncated member output. The Chairman synthesizes ALL member verdicts; it may not adopt a subset.

  2. Record per-member spawn receipts and stage artifacts under ~/.ciel/council/<run_id>/:

    spawn_receipts.json   {"mode":"subagent"|"inline","members":{name:{stage1_agent_id,stage2_agent_id}}}
    members/<member>.stage1.json
    members/<member>.stage2.json
    verdict.json          # chairman docket
    
  3. mode: "inline" is a degraded fallback only — it MUST be declared; verification flags it unverified_member_isolation. A run with no receipts fails verification outright.

  4. After the docket, run python3 scripts/council_verify.py <run_id> — validates completeness and emits structured member verdicts to ~/.ciel/improvements/signals/council-<run_id>.json for the improvement loop.

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.
