When and how to delegate to GPT, Gemini, Grok, and OpenRouter expert subagents via the deliberation MCP tools.

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

<!-- GENERATED by scripts/sync-hosts.js - edit the source under prompts/, docs/tool-guide.md, or examples/, then regenerate. -->

# Deliberation

Host-neutral guidance for any AI coding agent connected to the deliberation MCP
server (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Kiro, Antigravity, Windsurf, Zed, and
others): what the tools do and when to delegate. The per-host skills and Powers
are generated from this file by `scripts/sync-hosts.js`.

## What deliberation is

A single MCP server that exposes GPT (via the Codex CLI), Gemini 3 (via the
Antigravity CLI), Grok (via the xAI API), local models (Ollama, LM Studio), and
OpenRouter models (400+, advisory) as expert subagents. You stay the primary
agent. When a task benefits from a second opinion or cross-model review, call
one of the tools below, read the result, and apply your own judgment. Every tool
here is ADVISORY: this server reads and reasons, it never edits your files.
(Implementation exists only in the Claude Code plugin's standalone Gemini
bridge, which this server does not expose.)

## Tools

Fan-out and single-provider:

- `ask-all` - send one question to GPT, Gemini, Grok, local models, and
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add antonbabenko/deliberation/deliberation@sha256:7ab60f5e5cc25786

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.bb6611e, 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.
