llm-council · aiwithremy — Claude Code skill: what it does, how to install
llm-council sends a question or decision to five AI advisors, has them review one another, and produces a final verdict. Use it for high-stakes tradeoffs.
npx skills add aiwithremy/claude-skills-llm-council --skill llm-council -a claude-codeWhat llm-council does
llm-council runs a decision through five distinct viewpoints: a Contrarian, a First Principles Thinker, an Expansionist, an Outsider, and an Executor. They work independently, review each other anonymously, and pass their findings to a chairman that combines agreements, conflicts, and a final recommendation.
Before the session, the skill scans project context such as CLAUDE.md, memory/, referenced files, and earlier council transcripts. It reframes the question, then starts five sub-agents in parallel. This is a poor fit for a simple factual lookup because the skill is designed for decisions with real uncertainty, competing options, and costly mistakes.
