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.

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 | $0.00140 | $0.01727 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00056 | $0.00691 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00028 | $0.00345 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00173 |
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 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 121 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
council
A council is four to five subagents that hold different positions on one decision. Each round runs them in parallel and feeds every member the rounds before it. The run ends with one recommendation and the position that lost.
Council weighs options against each other. To attack a single proposal, use red-team.
Adapted from the LifeOS Council skill by Daniel Miessler (github.com/danielmiessler/LifeOS), MIT.
Procedure
Copy this checklist and track progress:
- [ ] 1. State the decision in one sentence
- [ ] 2. Pick DEBATE or QUICK
- [ ] 3. Pick a preset, or compose a council
- [ ] 4. Check every option has an advocate
- [ ] 5. Collect the evidence the members need
- [ ] 6. Run the rounds
- [ ] 7. Check every round with the clerk
- [ ] 8. Write the synthesis
1 — State the decision. Write the question the council answers and the options on the table.
A question with one factual answer is not a council topic. Answer it directly and stop. When the
caller gives a topic rather than a decision, confirm your restatement with ask before composing
anyone: it is the one judgement here that you cannot check yourself, and a wrong restatement wastes
the whole run (references/compose.md).
2 — Pick the mode.
| Mode | Rounds | Use when |
|---|---|---|
| QUICK | 1 | The decision is cheap to reverse, or the caller wants a sanity check |
| DEBATE | 3 | The decision is expensive to reverse, or the options are close |
Default to QUICK. Escalate to DEBATE when the members disagree about facts, not about taste.
3 — Pick a preset. Read the one file that matches the topic. Do not read the others.
| Preset | Decides | File |
|---|---|---|
| architecture | Placement, boundaries, adopt against build | references/presets/architecture.md |
| investment | A change to a personal portfolio | references/presets/investment.md |
| travel | One trip option against another | references/presets/travel.md |
| security | Threat model, data classes, blast radius | references/presets/security.md |
| product | What to build next, and how much of it | references/presets/product.md |
What ships with it
8 files 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.

council is a skill published in the GitHub repository larsboes/Axon (1 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 140 tokens to every session and 1,727 once invoked, about $0.0006 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 2026-09-07.
