Deep, interactive variant of ai-council with three user-in-the-loop checkpoints (clarify, surface assumptions, iterate). Same five advisors and anonymous peer review. Use when the answer is expensive if wrong, or when you are still genuinely unsure what you are asking. Triggers on deep council, interactive council, and high-stakes council.

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

<!-- Adapted from the interactive-ai-council variant by Freddy Gottesman (GHP Labs, April 2026), itself a fork of the AI Council skill by John Graff (UT Austin McCombs), based on Andrej Karpathy's LLM Council methodology. -->

# AI Council (Deep)

Same five advisors as `ai-council`. Same anonymous peer review. Same chairman synthesis. Three user-in-the-loop checkpoints that turn a 2-minute pressure-test into a genuine consultation.

Use this when the answer is expensive if wrong, or when you are still genuinely unsure what you are asking. For quick pressure-tests, use `ai-council` instead.

## When to use deep vs fast

| | Fast (`ai-council`) | Deep (`ai-council-deep`) |
|---|---|---|
| Turnaround | About 2 minutes | 10 minutes to an hour, user-paced |
| User touches | 0 (fire-and-forget) | 3 checkpoints, each skippable |
| Advisor edge | Full, uncushioned | Full, uncushioned (Checkpoint 2 surfaces assumptions, does not hedge) |
| Output | HTML report and transcript | HTML report and annotated transcript showing each checkpoint |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ai-business-tools/claude-code/ai-council-deep@sha256:a50dcaf0e50c5363

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.
