Run a structured multi-agent debate by spawning a panel of expert agents on any question, with convergence-aware iteration and typed synthesis output via the `agent-council` CLI. Use when a decision has genuine tradeoffs, high stakes, or hidden assumptions worth adversarial collaboration, or when confidence diagnostics matter more than a single recommendation. Compatible with any AI agent harness that supports agentskills.io skills (Claude Code, Cursor, Hermes Agent, OpenHands, etc.). Do not…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Agent Council

Spawn a panel of expert agents to debate any question. The council runs a structured protocol — compose, premortem, position, cross-examination (iterative), synthesis — and produces a decision landscape with convergence diagnostics.

## When to Use

Invoke the council when any of these apply:

- The question has genuine tradeoffs with no clear correct answer
- You want multi-perspective analysis to surface hidden assumptions
- A decision would benefit from adversarial collaboration
- You want confidence diagnostics (not just a recommendation)
- The question has high stakes or irreversible consequences

**Signal phrases:** "Let's get multiple perspectives on this" / "Debate this: X" / "What would experts say about X" / "What are we missing?"

## Quick Start

### 1. Install

```bash
# One-time setup
pip install pydantic-ai
pip install agent-council

# Or install from this skill directory:
python3 scripts/bootstrap.py
```

### 2. Configure

```bash
export AGENT_COUNCIL_API_KEY="sk-..."
export AGENT_COUNCIL_MODEL="openai:gpt-5.6-luna"
```

### 3. Run

```bash
agent-council "Should we use Postgres or SQLite for this service?"
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add magnus919/agent-skills/agent-council@sha256:eb4ec52a1998c07f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260823.6efee5c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
