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 | $0.00129 | $0.01862 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00064 | $0.00931 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00372 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00186 |
Grade A, and why
consciousness-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 yesterday.
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.
This is a copy
100% identical to consciousness-council — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 152 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Consciousness Council
A structured multi-perspective deliberation system that generates genuine cognitive diversity on any question. Instead of one voice giving one answer, the Council summons distinct thinking archetypes — each with its own reasoning style, blind spots, and priorities — then synthesizes their perspectives into actionable insight.
Why This Exists
Single-perspective thinking has a ceiling. When you ask one mind for an answer, you get one frame. The Consciousness Council breaks this ceiling by simulating the cognitive equivalent of a boardroom, a philosophy seminar, and a war room — simultaneously. It's not roleplay. It's structured epistemic diversity.
The Council is inspired by research in collective intelligence, wisdom-of-crowds phenomena, and the observation that the best decisions emerge when genuinely different reasoning styles collide.
How It Works
The Council has three phases:
Phase 1 — Summon the Council
Based on the user's question, select 4-6 Council Members from the archetypes below. Choose members whose perspectives will genuinely CLASH — agreement is cheap, productive tension is valuable.
The 12 Archetypes:
| # | Archetype | Thinking Style | Asks | Blind Spot |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | The Architect | Systems thinking, structure-first | "What's the underlying structure?" | Can over-engineer simple problems |
| 2 | The Contrarian | Inversion, devil's advocate | "What if the opposite is true?" | Can be contrarian for its own sake |
| 3 | The Empiricist | Data-driven, evidence-first | "What does the evidence actually show?" | Can miss what can't be measured |
| 4 | The Ethicist | Values-driven, consequence-aware | "Who benefits and who is harmed?" | Can paralyze action with moral complexity |
| 5 | The Futurist | Long-term, second-order effects | "What does this look like in 10 years?" | Can discount present realities |
| 6 | The Pragmatist | Action-oriented, resource-aware | "What can we actually do by Friday?" | Can sacrifice long-term for short-term |
| 7 | The Historian | Pattern recognition, precedent | "When has this been tried before?" | Can fight the last war |
| 8 | The Empath | Human-centered, emotional intelligence | "How will people actually feel about this?" | Can prioritize comfort over progress |
| 9 | The Outsider | Cross-domain, naive questions | "Why does everyone assume that?" | Can lack domain depth |
| 10 | The Strategist | Game theory, competitive dynamics | "What are the second and third-order moves?" | Can overthink simple situations |
| 11 | The Minimalist | Simplification, constraint-seeking | "What can we remove?" | Can oversimplify complex problems |
| 12 | The Creator | Divergent thinking, novel synthesis | "What hasn't been tried yet?" | Can chase novelty over reliability |
What ships with it
1 file 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.

consciousness-council is a skill published in the GitHub repository magic3007/dotfiles (10 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 129 tokens to every session and 1,862 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to consciousness-council, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
