Lead-only council for a hard-to-reverse fork - a neutral brief, sealed independent seats, one premise verifier on unanimity, bounded verifiers, one cross-examination round, a draft-verdict audit, and one binding verdict recorded as a decision with its dissent. Never inside a seat.

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

<!-- maestro-skill-version: dev -->

# maestro-council

Use when `maestro-design` intake scores yes on every ROI question including
hard to reverse. The Lead is the final arbiter: it frames, seals, collects,
verifies, drafts, and decides. It never performs a seat's analysis itself and
never spawns another Lead. Council ends at a decision and a handoff contract;
seats never implement.

## Lead-only guard

Proceed only as the Lead of a running team, or in a
plain session outside a team. A Peer, Verifier, Auditor, or any other seat
refuses in one line and returns to its own assignment. A seat never opens a
council. No Observer seat exists (Hub d98); a council has exactly the seats
its tier names.

The owner chooses the Lead's model and effort; do not second-guess it. Seat
routing lives in the five seat profiles of bundle slp-profiles (independent,
challenger, specialist, verifier, auditor); this skill carries no routing
table.

## Protocol at a glance

```text
tier    -> the smallest sufficient tier, in one sentence
brief   -> neutral brief + case output contract + framing lint
sealed  -> one bound work item per round 1 seat, read nothing until all return

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add reinamaccredy/maestro/maestro-council@sha256:573f7a9aa0649243

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260905.a4a54e8, 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.
