Claude Council

A Claude Code plugin that asks AI coding agents the same question in
parallel. Compare their answers when one model's bias could mislead you:
architecture decisions, debugging dead ends, security reviews, or framework
choices.

Install

You need curl and jq on macOS, Linux, or Windows through Git Bash.

Give it at least one provider in the shell you start Claude Code from:

The codex, agy (Antigravity), grok, kimi, and cursor-agent CLIs use
your existing subscriptions without an API key. Claude Code itself, the
Copilot CLI and OpenCode can sit too, when named in --providers. A local
ollama model needs no key or external network. With none of these, --local uses Claude
subagents. See provider selection and
local councils.

First run in 60 seconds

Read what gets sent and saved
before asking about your code.

Each provider answers independently. Claude writes a synthesis of their
agreement, disagreements, and recommendation. Agreement is not verification:
the models share your description and its assumptions.
The synthesis names the premise that could change the answer.

Features

The reference lists every flag, variable, model default,
and limit. Architecture covers the implementation.
TESTING.md covers tests, releases, and adding a provider.

Heads-up side-check

Opt in through the "Heads-up side-check" row in /config or the project's
.claude/council-heads-up.json. One seat, codex by default, checks recent
turns and tool results while Claude works. For a Write or an Edit, it gets the
text Claude wrote. The note shows what went where.
Learn more expands it; Tell Claude puts a draft in the prompt without sending
it. Read the data limits and off switch
and the heads-up guide.
