Run a configurable multi-LLM council with personas, budget caps, synthesis, veto gates, and optional implementation handoff.
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
Use this skill for `/octo:council` and council-style requests.
## EXECUTION CONTRACT: MANDATORY
`/octo:council` is a runner-backed workflow. Execute the real shell runner by default:
```bash
"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$HOME/.claude-octopus/plugin}/scripts/orchestrate.sh" council <user arguments>
```
**Sandbox-safe invocation (required under Claude Code's sandbox).** `orchestrate.sh`
must be the FIRST token of the command. The sandbox's unsandboxed-command allowlist is a
leading-anchored prefix match, so a command that begins with `cd …`, an inline
`VAR=… ` env-assignment, or any other prefix will NOT match an `…/orchestrate.sh *`
entry — the runner then executes sandboxed and its `codex`/`agy` seat children fail to
write temp files (`Operation not permitted`, agy `mkstemp` in `/var/folders`), so the
council abandons the runner and falls back to direct single-provider dispatch. To run
against a worktree, pass `--dir <path>` (the runner already honors `-d/--dir`) instead
of wrapping in `cd <path> && …`; set any environment in a separate prior step or via a
leading `env VAR=… /abs/path/orchestrate.sh council …` so the resolvable binary path is
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add nyldn/claude-octopus/skill-council@sha256:c43d73f8dd870c9bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260813.14437ae, 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.
