What it does

God Consensus is an agent skill from YougLin-dev/Aha-Loop. Guides God Committee members through consensus-building for collective decisions. Use for proposals, voting, and disagreement resolution. Triggers on: consensus, voting, proposal, committee decision.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k 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 Sales & Support, covering Proposals and quotes. The repository describes itself as: [MVP] Aha Loop is a fully autonomous AI development system, extended from the core ideas of Ralph. It's not just an execution engine, but a complete AI development framework with… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Disagreement resolution
  • Committee decision

Example prompts

  • “Use the god-consensus skill to guide God Committee members through consensus-building for collective decisions”
  • “/god-consensus”

Workflow steps

9 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Prepare Your Case
  2. Acquire Speaking Rights
  3. Create the Proposal
  4. Notify Members
  5. Release Speaking Rights
  6. Review the Proposal
  7. Analyze the Proposal
  8. Cast Your Vote
  9. Document Your Reasoning

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8d799b2. 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:

    • jq

    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

God Consensus loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 549 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k

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.

God Committee Consensus Skill

Purpose

This skill guides God Committee members through the consensus-building process for making collective decisions.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • Proposing a significant change or intervention
  • Voting on another member's proposal
  • Resolving disagreements between members
  • Making decisions that require consensus per configuration

Consensus Requirements

Actions Requiring Consensus

Per .god/config.json, these actions require consensus:

  • Termination: Stopping the entire project
  • Major Rollback: Rolling back multiple commits or PRDs
  • Skill Deletion: Removing existing skills
Actions Allowing Solo Decision
  • Minor fixes and repairs
  • Observation and documentation
  • Pausing for investigation
  • Sending alerts and notifications
Quorum Rules
  • Standard Quorum: 2 out of 3 members must agree
  • Emergency Quorum: 1 member can act alone in critical situations

Creating a Proposal

Step 1: Prepare Your Case

Before proposing, gather evidence and formulate your rationale:

markdown
## Proposal Preparation

### Issue Identified
[Clear description of the problem]

### Evidence
- [Log entry/observation 1]
- [Log entry/observation 2]
- [Metric or data point]

### Proposed Action
[Specific action to take]

### Expected Outcome
[What success looks like]

### Risks
[Potential downsides]

### Alternatives Considered
[Other options and why not chosen]
Step 2: Acquire Speaking Rights
bash
./scripts/god/council.sh lock YOUR_ID
Step 3: Create the Proposal
bash
./scripts/god/council.sh propose YOUR_ID "TYPE" "DESCRIPTION" "RATIONALE"

Proposal Types:

  • intervention - Active intervention in execution
  • repair - Fix or repair action
  • policy_change - Change to rules or configuration
  • termination - Stop project execution
  • rollback - Revert to previous state

Example:

bash
./scripts/god/council.sh propose alpha "intervention" \
  "Pause PRD execution to fix failing tests" \
  "Test coverage dropped 15% in last 3 stories. Need to address before proceeding."
Step 4: Notify Members

The proposal system automatically notifies all members. The message will be in their inboxes.

Step 5: Release Speaking Rights
bash
./scripts/god/council.sh unlock YOUR_ID

Voting on Proposals

Step 1: Review the Proposal
bash
# Check pending decisions
./scripts/god/council.sh status

# Read the specific proposal
cat .god/council/decisions/DECISION_ID.json | jq '.'
Step 2: Analyze the Proposal

Consider these questions:

  1. Is the problem real?

    • Verify the evidence
    • Check if it's already being addressed
  2. Is the solution appropriate?

    • Will it solve the problem?
    • Are there better alternatives?
    • What are the side effects?
  3. Is it timely?

    • Is immediate action needed?
    • Can we wait for more information?
Step 3: Cast Your Vote
bash
./scripts/god/council.sh lock YOUR_ID
./scripts/god/council.sh vote YOUR_ID "DECISION_ID" "VOTE" "COMMENT"
./scripts/god/council.sh unlock YOUR_ID

Vote Options:

  • approve - Support the proposal
  • reject - Oppose the proposal
  • abstain - Neither support nor oppose

Example:

bash
./scripts/god/council.sh vote beta "decision-20260129150000" "approve" \
  "Agree with the assessment. Tests should be fixed before proceeding."
Step 4: Document Your Reasoning

Always add a comment explaining your vote:

markdown
## Vote: [APPROVE/REJECT/ABSTAIN]

### Reasoning
[Why you voted this way]

### Conditions (if any)
[Conditions for your support]

### Alternative Suggestion (if rejecting)
[What you'd propose instead]

Reaching Consensus

Unanimous Agreement

Ideal scenario - all members agree:

Alpha: approve
Beta: approve  
Gamma: approve
Result: APPROVED (unanimous)
Majority Agreement

Quorum reached with majority:

Alpha: approve
Beta: approve
Gamma: reject
Result: APPROVED (2/3 majority)
Split Decision

When members disagree significantly:

  1. Initiate Discussion Session

    bash
    ./scripts/god/council.sh session-start "Resolving: PROPOSAL_TOPIC"
  2. Each Member States Position

    • Present full reasoning
    • Listen to others' concerns
    • Look for common ground
  3. Seek Compromise

    • Modify the proposal
    • Add conditions
    • Split into smaller decisions
  4. Re-vote if Needed

    • Create amended proposal
    • Vote again
Show full SKILL.md (200 more words)Show less
Deadlock Resolution

If consensus cannot be reached:

  1. Defer Decision

    • Wait for more information
    • Set review deadline
  2. Escalate Scope

    • Break into smaller decisions
    • Address sub-issues separately
  3. Time-box Discussion

    • Set deadline for decision
    • Default action if no consensus

Emergency Consensus

In critical situations, expedited consensus is allowed:

Emergency Criteria
  • System crash or imminent failure
  • Security breach
  • Data loss risk
  • Infinite loop/resource exhaustion
Emergency Protocol
  1. Declare Emergency

    bash
    ./scripts/god/awakener.sh critical "REASON"
  2. Take Immediate Action

    • One member can act alone
    • Document the action immediately
  3. Post-Action Review

    • Inform other members ASAP
    • Document full rationale
    • Get retroactive approval
Emergency Action Template
markdown
## Emergency Action Report

### Timestamp
[When action was taken]

### Acting Member
[Who took the action]

### Situation
[What triggered the emergency]

### Action Taken
[What was done]

### Justification
[Why immediate action was needed]

### Outcome
[Result of the action]

### Post-Action Votes
- Alpha: [pending/approved/rejected]
- Beta: [pending/approved/rejected]
- Gamma: [pending/approved/rejected]

Consensus Best Practices

Do
  • ✅ Present clear evidence
  • ✅ Consider all perspectives
  • ✅ Propose specific, actionable items
  • ✅ Accept compromise when reasonable
  • ✅ Document all reasoning
  • ✅ Respect deadlines
Don't
  • ❌ Vote without reviewing the proposal
  • ❌ Reject without suggesting alternatives
  • ❌ Take solo action when consensus is required
  • ❌ Ignore minority opinions
  • ❌ Let proposals languish without voting
  • ❌ Make personal attacks

Decision Record

All decisions are recorded in .god/council/decisions/ with this structure:

json
{
  "decisionId": "decision-20260129150000",
  "type": "intervention",
  "status": "decided",
  "createdAt": "2026-01-29T15:00:00Z",
  "decidedAt": "2026-01-29T15:30:00Z",
  "proposal": {
    "author": "alpha",
    "description": "...",
    "rationale": "..."
  },
  "votes": {
    "alpha": {"vote": "approve", "comment": "...", "timestamp": "..."},
    "beta": {"vote": "approve", "comment": "...", "timestamp": "..."},
    "gamma": {"vote": "abstain", "comment": "...", "timestamp": "..."}
  },
  "quorum": 2,
  "result": "approved",
  "executedAt": "2026-01-29T15:35:00Z"
}

After Consensus

Once a decision is reached:

  1. If Approved: Execute the proposed action
  2. If Rejected: Document why and any alternatives
  3. Update Timeline: Log the decision event
  4. Notify Stakeholders: If relevant to execution layer
bash
# After approved decision
./scripts/god/observer.sh event "decision" "Proposal approved: DESCRIPTION"

# Execute the action
[perform the approved action]

# Mark as executed
jq '.executedAt = "'"$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)"'"' \
  .god/council/decisions/DECISION_ID.json > tmp && mv tmp .god/council/decisions/DECISION_ID.json
