🏛 council

An agent skill that stops your coding agent from winging it: before giving you a final plan, whichever agent you're talking to must convene the other agent CLIs installed on your machine and deliberate.

Say:

council, 2 turns: should we migrate this app from Express to Hono?

and the lead agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, Grok, or OpenCode — whoever you asked) will:

1. Draft a plan.
2. Present it independently to every other agent CLI on your machine — each member gives exactly one reply per turn (verdict: SHIP IT / SHIP WITH CHANGES / RETHINK, strongest objections first). Members never see each other's replies.
3. Revise the plan, telling members what changed — and repeat for as many turns as you asked.
4. Answer with the whole deliberation as a conversation, plus the final plan.

Everything is one-shot CLI invocations under the hood (no ACP, no daemons, no API keys beyond the CLIs you already have installed and logged in). All member invocations are read-only: they may read your repo, never touch it. Failed or missing members are skipped gracefully and noted in the transcript.

The skill is a single SKILL.md. Clone it where your agent looks for skills:

# Claude Code (personal)
git clone https://github.com/kitze/council ~/.claude/skills/council

# Claude Code (per-project)
git clone https://github.com/kitze/council .claude/skills/council

For other agents that support the Agent Skills format, clone into their skills directory (e.g. ~/.codex/skills/council), or just hand your agent the SKILL.md as instructions — it's self-contained.

At least one other agent CLI installed and logged in: claude, codex, cursor-agent, gemini, grok, or opencode. The more you have, the bigger the council.

• Deliberation sessions (plans, per-round prompts and replies) are kept in ~/.council/ so you can audit what every member actually said.
• SKILL.md embeds the exact headless flags each CLI needs (cursor --trust, gemini --skip-trust, codex read-only sandbox, and the grok --system-prompt-override workaround for its silent headless cancellation) — found the hard way so you don't have to.
