What it does
Council is an agent skill from agentic-box/owlex. Consult the AI council (Codex + Gemini + OpenCode) for multi-perspective answers
Its SKILL.md is about 260 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The licence is MIT.
Example prompts
- “/council”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): mcp__owlex__council_ask
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Take the user's question or task from: $ARGUMENTS
- If no argument provided, ask what they want the council to discuss
- Call mcpowlexcouncil_ask with
- Return immediately with the task_id
- Tell the user
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 05f0091. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
mcp__owlex__council_ask
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Council loads about 263 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 108 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
