council

council is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Nafjan/summon. It costs 41 tokens per session (344 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured discussion process for open-ended questions, using independent viewpoints, cross-examination, and a chairperson’s synthesis. It is part of the Summon workflow for comparing judgments from different participants.

In plain words
What is it for?
Asking several participants to examine an open question, compare their positions, challenge one another, and produce a recommendation or candidate options.
Why use it?
It helps surface disagreement and alternative views before a decision is made. It does not itself create an approved, binding decision or start the later fixed-option process.

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 4d 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

Council — open-ended judgment for Summon

/council is the focused companion entry point for Summon's existing council workflow. It owns no scheduler, scripts, schemas, or duplicate policy. Read ../summon/references/deliberation.md for the boundary between council and the fixed-option deliberate workflow.

Use /council when the question is open-ended, the useful output is independent positions plus cross-examination, or a chairman should synthesize disagreement. Use /deliberate only after a person has fixed at least two option IDs, named seats, quorum, rounds, physical-attempt budget, absolute deadline, and the human-approval policy.

The CLI is the same dispatcher:

../summon/scripts/run_subagent.py council --question "…" \
  --members planner,security,operator --chairman architect --rounds 2 \
  --cwd <project> --run-dir <private-runs-root>

Council may produce a recommendation or candidate option set, but that prose is not a durable ballot and cannot authorize a deliberate run. To continue into a governed decision, show the candidate options to the user, obtain explicit policy values, and start a fresh summon deliberate receipt. Never auto-convert, retry, or fall back between the two modes.

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.
