What it does

LLM Council is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Run Fireworks-hosted open-weight model councils that compare responses and synthesize a final answer.

Its SKILL.md is about 640 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/detailed-guide.md`).

The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/llm-council”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Bash, AskUserQuestion

Workflow steps

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

  1. Phase 1: All models respond to the query independently (parallel)
  2. Phase 2: Models rank each other's anonymized responses
  3. Phase 3: A Chairman LLM synthesizes the final answer

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b84d35a. 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:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Bash
    • AskUserQuestion

    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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com

    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

LLM Council loads about 644 tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 28 tokens; SKILL.md has 275 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~28
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~644
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.3k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Write, Bash, AskUserQuestion

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.

LLM Council (Fireworks AI)

Detailed Guide

Read the detailed guide before executing this skill. It retains the complete procedure and reference material. Treat its safety, prerequisites, and validation requirements as mandatory. For focused work, load the relevant sections; for end-to-end work, read the guide completely.

When to Use

Use when this workflow matches the user request: Use this skill for its documented workflow.

Source: dair-ai/dair-academy-plugins (MIT).

This skill implements Karpathy's LLM Council concept where multiple open-weight LLMs deliberate on a query, powered entirely by Fireworks AI:

  1. Phase 1: All models respond to the query independently (parallel)
  2. Phase 2: Models rank each other's anonymized responses
  3. Phase 3: A Chairman LLM synthesizes the final answer

All inference runs through Fireworks AI using open-weight models. The speed and pricing of Fireworks makes it practical to run multi-model deliberation that would be slow or expensive on other providers.

CRITICAL RULES

  1. ALWAYS use AskUserQuestion to let the user select council models (multiselect) and the Chairman model
  2. ALWAYS save raw responses to files - never summarize or truncate API outputs
  3. ALWAYS show full transparency - display all individual responses, all rankings, AND the final synthesis
  4. NEVER skip the ranking phase - it is essential to the council deliberation process
  5. Read from files for display - ensures content is shown unmodified
  6. ALWAYS display the final output to the user after Phase 3 completes

Limitations

  • Requires the upstream tool, account, API key, or local setup when the workflow names one.
  • Does not authorize destructive, production, paid, or external-message actions without explicit user approval.
  • Validate generated artifacts or recommendations against the user's real sources before treating them as final.
