Council of High Intelligence


  



  Structured multi-perspective deliberation for decisions that deserve more than one reasoning path.



  
  
  



  Claude Code · Codex · Gemini CLI · OpenCode


The council assigns a hard question to deliberately different analytical personas, keeps
their first positions independent, forces direct disagreement, and returns a verdict that
preserves unresolved questions, dissent, kill criteria, and the next concrete action.

 Try a council

Claude Code users can install the plugin directly:

text
/plugin marketplace add 0xNyk/council-of-high-intelligence
/plugin install council@council-of-high-intelligence


Then convene the full council, a faster panel, or a two-member dialectic:

text
/council Should we open-source our agent framework?
/council --quick Should we add caching here?
/council --duo Should we use microservices or a monolith?


For Codex, Gemini CLI, or OpenCode, clone once and use the matching installer flag:

bash
git clone https://github.com/0xNyk/council-of-high-intelligence.git
cd council-of-high-intelligence

./install.sh --codex-only
./install.sh --gemini-only
./install.sh --opencode-only


Restart the target client after installation. The command remains /council on every
supported host.

 Use it for the decision boundary

Good council questions have material downside, competing values, incomplete evidence, or
an irreversible choice. Write down the decision, constraints, evidence, reversibility, and
deadline before adding personas.

!Decision field notes

The field notes distinguish facts from inference, assumptions, and unknowns. They also make
it harder to use a long deliberation as decoration for a decision already made.

 When to use something smaller

- Use a direct answer or primary documentation for factual lookups.
- Run an experiment when the choice is cheap and reversible.
- Use --quick when cross-examination will not change the outcome.
- Use --duo when one tension matters more than broad coverage.
- Do not convene a council to manufacture support for a preferred answer.

 Choose a mode

| Mode | Shape | Use it when |
|---|---|---|
| Full | Independent analysis, cross-examination, final stance, synthesis | Stakes are high and competing frames need contact |
| Quick | Restate, rapid analysis, final positions | The decision needs breadth but not a full adversarial round |
| Duo | Opening positions, direct response, final statements | One polarity defines the decision |

!Council mode selector

text
/council --full What is the right pricing model?
/council --quick --triad shipping Should we release today?
/council --duo --members torvalds,ada Is this abstraction worth it?


Named triads select three relevant lenses without assembling the whole council:

text
/council --triad strategy Where is our defensible advantage?
/council --triad risk What could make this launch irreversible?
/council --triad ai-product Which capability belongs in the product?

Latest release

Added
- Claude Code plugin-marketplace support (45) — .claude-plugin/plugin.json + marketplace.json; install with /plugin marketplace add 0xNyk/council-of-high-intelligence then /plugin install council@council-of-high-intelligence. Root SKILL.md remains the single source of truth via a skills/council/ symlink; a new Asset Resolution section resolves agents/scripts/configs from either the install.sh layout or ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}.
- Confidence-weighted vote tally (44) — a member's vote weight is now base weight (1.0, or 1.5× domain seat) × confidence factor from their STANCE: line (high 1.0 /
