Build a NEW complete "council" for a domain — a panel of orthogonal review lenses that fan out cold, debate to consensus, and return a synthesized verdict with recorded dissent, exactly like /council and /design-council. Identifies the distinct lenses a domain needs (one load-bearing question each, mined from real archetypes — not invented), reuses existing lenses, and builds only the genuinely-missing ones (persona SKILLs via personafy, or agents when the role is an active builder). Use when…

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

# Councilify

Produce a NEW, invocable **council** for a domain: a `context: fork` concierge
orchestrator over a bench of **orthogonal lenses**, following the proven
`/council` → `/design-council` pattern. Reuse before you build; build lenses only
where a real, distinct load-bearing question is missing.

**Success artifact:** a council bundle that, in a FRESH session, convenes on a
realistic target — prints a roster manifest, loads every rostered lens (cold,
independent), returns `{PASS|CONCERN|FAIL|N/A}` verdicts, and surfaces standing
dissent — with every NEW lens grounded in real evidence and proven to steer.

## Inputs

- `$ARGUMENTS`: the domain to build a council for (e.g. "product development",
  "security review", "performance"). Optionally: pointers to evidence/archetypes,
  a target-class hint, and a preferred bundle home.

## Core Principles

- **Reuse beats build.** A lens that already owns an axis is composed in by
  reference across bundle boundaries (the ROB-from-made-support precedent), never
  copied. Building a lens whose question equals an existing lens's is the failure
  this skill exists to prevent.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add microsoft/amplifier-bundle-skills/councilify@sha256:ec5e485f5f492c60

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260919.57f082c, 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.
