What it does

Setup Council is an agent skill from aigorahub/elves. Compatibility alias for Cobbler external-agent setup. Use when the user types /setup-council.

Its SKILL.md is about 300 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: Autonomous multi-batch development skill for Claude Code and Codex. They work while you sleep. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user types /setup-council

Example prompts

  • “/setup-council”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Setup must not require OpenRouter or external keys.
  2. Do not print credentials or run paid model turns by default (live smoke is opt-in).
  3. Write only ignored local .elves/models.toml preferences; Never stage secrets or that file.
  4. Keep native-first defaults and host-native fallbacks.
  5. Interview → apply → probe; re-run to update choices later.
  6. Use the main elves skill for full setup wording and operator CLI flags.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fba17a3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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

Setup Council loads about 300 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 128 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~27
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~300

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.

Setup Council (Cobbler compatibility)

This is an Elves-managed Claude Code compatibility alias for /setup-council.

It delegates to the same Cobbler model onboarding / setup contract as /setup-cobbler, references/model-onboarding.md, and python3 scripts/cobbler_agents.py onboard plan|show|apply|probe and python3 scripts/cobbler_agents.py setup. Council is a compatibility gathering name; Cobbler is the coordinator.

Rules:

  1. Setup must not require OpenRouter or external keys.
  2. Do not print credentials or run paid model turns by default (live smoke is opt-in).
  3. Write only ignored local .elves/models.toml preferences; Never stage secrets or that file.
  4. Keep native-first defaults and host-native fallbacks.
  5. Interview → apply → probe; re-run to update choices later.
  6. Use the main elves skill for full setup wording and operator CLI flags.

Codex equivalent: $elves setup-council or natural language — not a top-level Codex slash command.
