q-help

A quick reference for the code-quorum add-on and its available commands. It explains which workflow fits planning, brainstorming, research, validation, or code review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when choosing between quorum modes, checking their defaults, or learning how to run a specific workflow.
Why use it?
It removes the need to remember what each command does or when to use it.

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.

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

q-help 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 59 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Instructions

Print everything below the ---OUTPUT--- line verbatim as your response. Do not paraphrase, summarize, omit sections, or add commentary before or after. Stop after the last line. This skill is a static cheat sheet — your job is to surface it to the user, not to interpret it.

Modes

Workflow When
q-plan <task> Second-opinion plans before committing. Convergence.
q-brainstorm <topic> Wide spread of testable ideas, grounded in prior art by default (research-first; --no-research opts out). Preserve divergence.
q-skystorm <topic> Forward-research blue-sky. Map the cross-domain topology in the literature → dream → ground → synthesize.
q-validate <plan-path> Critical pushback on a draft plan. 2-round default; --extended = 4 rounds with stance rotation at R3.
q-review [target] Critical pushback on real code changes (branch/PR/range/whole codebase). Convergence into a findings table. --scope <path> bounds it; 2-round default, --extended = 4.
q-research <topic> Standalone prior-art digest with semantic query lanes, per-source/lane status, OpenAlex methods/currency purpose, and separate published/preprint Europe PMC sources. No council — one call. -s <source> restricts; --exploratory hunts cross-domain analogies.

Invocation

The host can select a workflow from a matching plain-language request. To select one explicitly:

Surface Example
Claude Code /q-plan <task>
Codex $code-quorum:q-plan <task>
Shell uv run quorum q-plan <task>

Use the same q-* workflow name in Claude Code and Codex. q-skystorm and q-help are host-only skills; they have no shell command. The standalone shell command is uv run quorum research <topic>; --exploratory is host-only, and the shell research command is the grounded digest.

Default council

The host never runs as a subprocess seat.

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.

q-help is a skill published in the GitHub repository sdewell/code-quorum (0 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 71 tokens to every session and 800 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.
