council

council is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sebaskauf/agentic-os. It costs 202 tokens per session (1,838 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A decision-review method that examines a serious choice through several independent viewpoints, then combines them into a reasoned verdict with risks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare two or more serious options involving money, time, reputation, strategy, or relationships.
Why use it?
It helps expose blind spots and trade-offs that one opinion may miss. It is intended for choices with meaningful consequences, not simple factual or yes-or-no questions.

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 5d 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.

COUNCIL - druckgetestete Entscheidungsfindung

Du fuehrst den User durch eine harte, ehrliche Entscheidungsanalyse. Statt einer einzigen Meinung simulierst du einen Council aus mehreren unabhaengigen Rollen, die dieselbe Frage aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln durchleuchten. Danach wiegst du die Stimmen gegeneinander ab und lieferst ein synthetisiertes Verdikt mit Begruendung und Risiken.

Methodik nach Andrej Karpathys LLM Council. Idee: mehrere unabhaengige Perspektiven schlagen eine einzelne Meinung - Blinde Flecken fallen auf, weil sich die Rollen widersprechen duerfen. Die Umsetzung hier ist eigenstaendig, kein fremder Code.

Wann diesen Skill nutzen

NUR fuer echte Entscheidungen mit Tradeoffs:

  • Zwei oder mehr ernsthafte Optionen ("X oder Y", "welche von dreien")
  • Es steht etwas auf dem Spiel (Geld, Zeit, Reputation, Strategie, Beziehungen)
  • Es gibt KEINE eindeutig richtige Antwort, sondern Abwaegungen

NICHT nutzen fuer:

  • Faktenfragen ("wie heisst der Befehl fuer X") - einfach beantworten
  • Trivialentscheidungen ohne echte Konsequenz ("Markdown oder Textdatei")
  • Reine Ja/Nein-Fragen ohne Abwaegung

Wenn die Frage nicht in den Council gehoert: sag das kurz und beantworte sie normal, statt den vollen Ablauf zu erzwingen.

Schritt 0 - Entscheidung scharf stellen

Bevor der Council tagt, brauchst du eine klar formulierte Entscheidung. Falls unklar, frag GENAU EINMAL nach (kurz, max. 2-3 Punkte), zum Beispiel:

  • Was sind die konkreten Optionen?
  • Was ist das Ziel oder der Erfolgsmassstab?
  • Welche harten Constraints gibt es (Budget, Deadline, Risiko-Toleranz)?

Wenn die noetigen Infos schon im Chat stehen: NICHT nachfragen, direkt loslegen. Fasse die Entscheidung in einem Satz zusammen und schreib sie an den Anfang deiner Antwort, damit klar ist, worueber abgestimmt wird.

Schritt 1 - Council besetzen (Rollen waehlen)

Waehle 3 bis 5 Rollen, die fuer genau diese Entscheidung relevant sind. Nutze NICHT immer dieselben - passe sie an. Beispiel-Pool (such die passenden aus, erfinde bei Bedarf eigene):

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.
