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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00082 | $0.05489 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00041 | $0.02745 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00016 | $0.01098 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00549 |
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 7d 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 — 569 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
External AI Council
Orchestrate multiple external AI consultants to provide thorough, consensus-driven feedback on plans, code, and architectural decisions.
Pre-Flight Checks (MANDATORY)
Before invoking any consultant, verify:
# Check CLI availability — codex is independent, but omp now gates 3 of the 4
# external consultants (Gemini, GLM, Kimi), not just one
command -v codex >/dev/null 2>&1 || echo "WARN: codex CLI not found"
command -v omp >/dev/null 2>&1 || echo "WARN: omp CLI not found (needed for Gemini, GLM, and Kimi)"
If any CLI is missing, inform user and proceed with available consultants only.
Rate Limit Handling
External CLIs may hit rate limits. Handle gracefully:
| Scenario | Detection | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Rate limited | CLI returns 429 or "rate limit" error | Wait 30s, retry once |
| Repeated limits | 2+ rate limits from same CLI | Skip that consultant, proceed with others |
| All rate limited | All CLIs rate limited | Abort with clear error, suggest waiting |
Retry Strategy
# Exponential backoff for rate limits
retry_with_backoff() {
local max_retries=2
local delay=30
for i in $(seq 1 $max_retries); do
"$@" && return 0
echo "Rate limited, waiting ${delay}s..."
sleep $delay
delay=$((delay * 2))
done
return 1
}
Staggered Launch (if rate limits frequent)
Instead of all 4 simultaneously, stagger by 5 seconds:
t=0s: Launch Gemini
t=5s: Launch Codex
t=10s: Launch GLM
t=15s: Launch Kimi
Available Consultants
External Consultants (Model Diversity)
Invoked via CLI. Each brings a different AI model's perspective. All receive the same prompt for consensus.

What ships with it
2 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 rube-de/cc-skills (10 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 82 tokens to every session and 5,489 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
