Council Decision Skill

Get multi-model AI consensus on complex decisions using the agent-council's 3-stage voting pipeline.

When to Use

Automatically invoke this skill when facing:

• Architectural design decisions that affect system structure
• Technology stack choices with multiple valid options
• Implementation approach evaluation for complex features
• Design pattern selection when trade-offs are unclear
• Multi-step planning for large tasks

How It Works

The skill runs the agent-council CLI which:

1. Sends your question to Claude, Codex, and Gemini
2. Each model provides an independent response
3. Models peer-rank each other's answers
4. A chairman synthesizes the final recommendation

Usage

When you encounter a complex decision point:

1. Formulate the question clearly
2. Run: agent-council "your question here"
3. Wait for the 3-stage pipeline to complete
4. Use the synthesized answer to guide implementation

Example Questions

• "What's the best way to implement real-time updates: WebSockets, SSE, or polling?"
• "Should this service use SQL or NoSQL database?"
• "What caching strategy would work best for this API?"
• "How should we structure error handling in this module?"

Prerequisites

The agent-council CLI must be installed:

npm install -g agent-council

Benefits

• Reduced bias: Multiple AI models reduce single-model bias
• Diverse perspectives: Different models have different strengths
• Quality ranking: Peer evaluation identifies best answers
• Synthesized wisdom: Chairman combines best insights
