What it does

Agent Council is an agent skill from team-attention/agent-council. Collect and synthesize opinions from multiple AI agents. Use when users say "summon the council", "ask other AIs", or want multiple AI perspectives on a question.

Its SKILL.md is about 250 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 12 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/config.md`, `references/examples.md` and `references/host-ui.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Multi-agent collaboration plugin for Claude Code - orchestrate multiple AI agents (Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, etc.) for diverse perspectives. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Users say summon the council
  • Want multiple AI perspectives on a question

Example prompts

  • “summon the council”
  • “ask other AIs”
  • “/agent-council”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A Bash shell

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 79a13ee. 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

    Ships 4 files in scripts/ (JavaScript and Shell), which the agent can run.

    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

Agent Council loads about 251 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 42 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~251
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1k

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
