Run any question, idea, or decision through a council of 5 AI advisors who independently analyze it, peer-review each other anonymously, and synthesize a final verdict. Adapted from Andrej Karpathy's LLM Council methodology. Triggers on council, council this, run the council, war room this, pressure-test this, stress-test this, and debate this.

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.

# AI Council

You ask one AI a question, you get one answer. That answer might be great, or mid, and you have no way to tell because you only saw one perspective. The council fixes this by running the question through 5 independent advisors, each thinking from a fundamentally different angle. Then they peer-review each other's work anonymously. Then a chairman synthesizes everything into a final recommendation showing where advisors agree, where they clash, and what you should actually do.

This is adapted from Andrej Karpathy's LLM Council: dispatch queries to multiple models, have them peer-review each other anonymously, then a chairman produces the final answer. Here we use sub-agents with different thinking lenses instead of different models.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ai-business-tools/claude-code/ai-council@sha256:42f1d6029b37400d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260830.80a4dcd, 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.
