Council Status

Check the status and availability of LLM Council components.

Implementation Instructions

When this command is invoked, use the Bash tool to run diagnostic checks and format the results for the user.

Step 1: CLI Availability Check

Execute using Bash tool:

# Resolve path to council_utils.sh
if [[ -n "${COUNCIL_PLUGIN_ROOT:-}" ]]; then
    UTILS_PATH="${COUNCIL_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/council-orchestrator/scripts/council_utils.sh"
elif [[ -n "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-}" ]]; then
    UTILS_PATH="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/council-orchestrator/scripts/council_utils.sh"
elif [[ -n "${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR:-}" ]]; then
    UTILS_PATH="${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/skills/council-orchestrator/scripts/council_utils.sh"
else
    # Try standard installation locations
    for candidate in \
        "$HOME/.claude/plugins/cache/llm-council-plugin/skills/council-orchestrator/scripts/council_utils.sh" \
        "$HOME/.claude/plugins/llm-council-plugin/skills/council-orchestrator/scripts/council_utils.sh"; do
        if [[ -f "$candidate" ]]; then
            UTILS_PATH="$candidate"
            break
        fi
    done
fi

# Verify path exists
if [[ -z "${UTILS_PATH:-}" ]] || [[ ! -f "$UTILS_PATH" ]]; then
    echo "❌ Error: Cannot locate council utilities"
    echo "Please set COUNCIL_PLUGIN_ROOT to your plugin installation path."
    exit 1
fi

source "$UTILS_PATH"
get_cli_status

Parse the output to determine which council member CLIs are available.

Display the results in a formatted table:

Member	CLI	Status	Version
Claude	claude	[✅ Available / ❌ Missing]	[version if available]
OpenAI Codex	codex	[✅ Available / ❌ Missing]	[version if available]
Google Gemini	gemini	[✅ Available / ❌ Missing]	[version if available]

Step 2: Version Information

For each available CLI, execute using Bash tool:

# Claude
claude --version 2>/dev/null || echo "Version unknown"

# Codex
codex --version 2>/dev/null || echo "Version unknown"

# Gemini
gemini --version 2>/dev/null || echo "Version unknown"

Step 3: Configuration Status

Execute using Bash tool (reuse the same UTILS_PATH from Step 1):

source "$UTILS_PATH"
config_list

Display current configuration settings.

Step 4: Quorum Assessment

Calculate and display quorum status based on:

• Available members count
• Minimum quorum setting from config
• Status: ✅ Ready / ⚠️ Not Ready

Present as:

• Total available members: X/3
• Quorum requirement: Y members
• Status: [✅ Met / ⚠️ Not Met]

Step 4.5: Security Status

Execute using Bash tool:

# Check jq availability
if command -v jq &>/dev/null; then
    echo "✅ Hook Security: ENABLED (jq installed)"
    echo "   Version: $(jq --version 2>&1)"
else
    echo "⚠️  Hook Security: DISABLED (jq not installed)"
    echo "   Without jq, the following protections are disabled:"
    echo "     • Command injection detection"
    echo "     • Sensitive data leak detection"
    echo "     • Council quorum verification"
    echo "     • Command length limits"
    echo ""
    echo "   Install jq to enable security features:"
    echo "     macOS:          brew install jq"
    echo "     Ubuntu/Debian:  sudo apt-get install jq"
    echo "     Alpine:         apk add jq"
fi

Display jq status:

• ✅ ENABLED if jq is available
• ⚠️ DISABLED if jq is missing (with installation instructions)

Step 5: Recent Session (if exists)

If .council/ directory exists from a previous session:

• Show Stage 1 responses count
• Show Stage 2 reviews count
• Show if final report exists
