Council Help

Display comprehensive help information for the LLM Council plugin.

Overview

The LLM Council is a multi-model deliberation system that consults three AI assistants (Claude, OpenAI Codex, and Google Gemini) to provide consensus-driven technical recommendations.

Available Commands

Command	Description
/council "<question>"	Summon the full council for deliberation
/council-help	Display this help information
/council-status	Check CLI availability and configuration
/council-config	View and modify council settings

How the Council Works

The council operates in three phases:

Phase 1: Opinion Collection

Each available council member independently analyzes your question and provides their response. Queries are sent in parallel for efficiency.

Phase 2: Peer Review (Cross-Examination)

Each member reviews the responses from other members anonymously (labeled as "Response A" and "Response B"). This helps identify:

• Points of agreement (consensus)
• Points of disagreement (divergence)
• Potential errors or security issues

Phase 3: Chairman Synthesis

The Council Chairman (Claude Opus) synthesizes all opinions and reviews into a final verdict, including:

• Executive Summary
• Debate Summary with divergence analysis
• Final Synthesized Recommendation

Council Members

Member	CLI	Role
Claude	claude	Required - Primary council member
OpenAI Codex	codex	Optional - Additional perspective
Google Gemini	gemini	Optional - Additional perspective

Requirements

• Minimum: Claude CLI must be installed
• Recommended: All three CLIs for full consensus

Examples

# Technical architecture question
/council "What's the best approach for implementing real-time updates in a React application?"

# Code review
/council "Review this authentication implementation for security issues"

# Best practices
/council "How should I structure a microservices application for scalability?"

Quorum Rules

• At least 1 member (Claude) required to proceed
• At least 2 members required for meaningful peer review
• Full council (3 members) provides optimal consensus

Configuration

Use /council-config to:

• Enable/disable specific council members
• Set minimum quorum requirements
• Configure timeout values

Troubleshooting

Run /council-status to:

• Check which CLIs are installed
• Verify configuration settings
• Test connectivity to each service
