Get objective, unbiased analysis of your codebase, project, or documentation. Use when you need fresh eyes on a problem, want to challenge existing assumptions, need multiple perspectives on architecture or approach, or feel stuck in the current implementation. This skill deliberately avoids "existing code bias" by using debiasing techniques, multiple viewpoints, and structured synthesis. Perfect for: evaluating if your current approach is still optimal, exploring alternatives, identifying…
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 — Multi-Perspective Analysis A multi-perspective analysis framework that provides objective, debiased evaluation of codebases, projects, and documentation. Uses multiple viewpoints and debiasing techniques to overcome the tendency to anchor on existing code. ## The Problem This Solves AI tools (and humans) tend to anchor on existing code. They see what IS and struggle to imagine what COULD BE. They validate rather than explore. Council uses: 1. **Debiasing techniques** — Methods that force fresh thinking 2. **Multiple perspectives** — Different mental models that catch different things 3. **Structured synthesis** — Combining insights while tracking disagreements ## When to Use - Evaluating if current approach is still optimal - Exploring alternatives to existing implementation - Identifying hidden assumptions in your project - Getting objective feedback before major decisions - When stuck in local optimum - When you suspect there might be a better way but can't see it - When AI tools keep echoing back your existing patterns ## Input User provides: - **Target**: Repository path, documentation, or specific problem description …

How to install
mdr add adulari/forge/council@sha256:9178f6063c3fc234The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260630.a6ae589, 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.
