council from justinjdev/fellowship is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add justinjdev/fellowship/council@git:20260905.93a99ec

Pins git:20260905.93a99ec in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Invoke when the user runs /council or from /scout. Quest inlines this orientation as its Research step 2 and does not call it. Loads focused, task-relevant context by reading CLAUDE.md, scanning for related files, and producing a structured Session Context block.

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 — Context-Aware Task Onboarding

## Overview

Loads focused, task-relevant context at the start of any non-trivial work session. Produces a structured Session Context block that serves as the foundation for all downstream work. This is the "onboarding the agent within every repo" pattern from context engineering.

## When to Use

- The user runs `/council` — starting a task that involves more than a quick fix, or picking up in-progress work

This skill is **not** a step of the quest lifecycle. Quest inlines the same orientation as its Research step 2 rather than invoking it, so the two cannot drift apart.

Council does not look for a `/lembas` checkpoint. Exactly one place checks for one during a quest — quest's Research step 0 — and `/rekindle` is the recovery path outside a quest.

## Process

### Step 1: Read Project Context

Read the root CLAUDE.md. Extract:
- Reference files relevant to the task area
- Review conventions that apply
- Architecture constraints

If no CLAUDE.md exists, note: "Consider running `/chronicle` to set up project context."

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add justinjdev/fellowship/council@sha256:4a7c4c39cb93bbc9

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260905.93a99ec, 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.
