Executes council queries by running the query pipeline across selected AI providers (Gemini, OpenAI, Grok, Perplexity), displaying formatted responses verbatim, and generating a synthesis of consensus, divergence, and recommendations. Invoked by the ask command during standard (non-agent) council queries.

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

# Council Query Execution

## Step 1: Run Query and Save to File

```bash
bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/run-council.sh --providers=gemini,openai -- "Your question"
```

This outputs the path to the saved file (e.g., `.claude/council-cache/council-1734567890.md`).

**Flag syntax**: Use `=` with no spaces: `--providers=gemini,openai`

**Pass only the flags the user asked for.** Never add `--no-pane`, `--quiet`,
`--no-cache` or `--no-auto-context` on your own judgment; they are the user's
to choose, and the script already skips a pane that cannot open.

**CRITICAL**: Always place `--` before the prompt to prevent prompt text containing dashes from being parsed as flags.

**Run this Bash call with `timeout: 600000`** (ten minutes). The Bash tool's
two-minute default is shorter than a slow council round, and inside tmux a
provider failure makes the streaming pane offer the user a retry for
`COUNCIL_RETRY_WAIT` seconds (default 45) and then runs another provider round
if accepted. A call cut off mid-run loses the whole transcript, the answers
that did arrive included.

## Step 2: Read and Display the Output VERBATIM

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add hex/claude-council/council-execution@sha256:49bc0823c6ba38c1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261001.67edf6d, 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.
