Use when the user wants a stronger, multi-model, or cross-checked audit: "convene the council", "council review", "audit with codex/grok/gemini too", "second opinion on this diff", "multi-engine audit". Detects other agent CLIs, runs kanso-audit's framework on each in parallel, and merges the reports into one consensus-weighted findings list.

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

# kanso-council

A stronger audit. Every capable agent CLI on the machine reviews the same scope under kanso-audit's framework, independently and in parallel, and the reports merge into one consensus-weighted findings list. Agreement between independent models is strong signal; a finding three engines converge on is rarely noise.

The council changes who reviews, never what happens next. Findings land in kanso-audit's report format, end at kanso-audit's approval gate, and route through its Phases B, C, and D unchanged. This skill owns Phase A only.

## The roster

Four engines are known. The host CLI (the one this session runs in) always sits on the council and audits inline; the others are detected with `command -v` and run headless in their own worktrees. An absent engine is skipped with a one-liner, never an error.

**Model policy: family aliases and CLI defaults only. A dated model ID in this file is a bug.** Aliases and defaults track each vendor's current flagship, so a new model generation needs zero edits here.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add blakecyze/kanso/kanso-council@sha256:9df304723e5ea1dd

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260903.4cfed54, 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.
