What is council-setup?

An installation and setup workflow for The Council plugin and its required Python dependencies.

Use it after installing The Council to install dependencies, check its server, confirm agent teams are enabled, and create the project’s Council setup.

It checks whether the needed tools and agent-team setting are available, verifies that the plugin can start, and offers to initialize it in a project.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00019	$0.00452
Opus 5	$0.00010	$0.00226
Sonnet 5	$0.00004	$0.00090

Security

Grade C, and why

council-setup scanned grade C with 2 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 11d 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.

What it actually says

Council Setup

Step 1: Check uv

Run: uv --version If not found, tell the user to install uv:

macOS/Linux: curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
Windows: powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

Step 2: Install dependencies

Run: uv sync --directory "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}"

Step 3: Verify MCP server can import

Run: uv run --directory "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}" python -c "from src.server import mcp; print('MCP OK: ' + str(len(mcp._tool_manager.list_tools())) + ' tools')"

Step 4: Check agent teams

Check if agent teams are enabled: look for CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS in the environment or VS Code settings. If not set, tell the user:

"Agent teams are required. Add CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1 to your environment variables or VS Code settings."

Step 5: Auto-initialize (if in a project)

Check if the current working directory looks like a project (has a .git/ directory, package.json, pyproject.toml, Cargo.toml, or similar). If yes, AND .council/ does not already exist:

Ask: "Initialize the council in this project now? (y/n)"
If yes: call council_memory_init with the current project directory.
If no: tell them they can run /council:init later in any project.

Step 6: Done

Tell the user:

"Setup complete. Restart Claude Code to connect the MCP server."
"Then run /council:consult <question> to catch blind spots in your next decision."
If auto-init was done: "Council already initialized here — you can consult right after restart."

Changes

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-setup is a skill published in the GitHub repository southlab-ai/Claude-Plugin-Marketplace (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 452 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
