🐙 Claude Octopus

Every AI model has blind spots. Claude Octopus puts up to nine of them on every task, so blind spots surface before you ship — not after. It orchestrates Codex, Gemini, Antigravity CLI, Copilot, Qwen, Ollama, Perplexity, OpenRouter, and OpenCode alongside Claude Code, with consensus gates that flag any disagreements.

Claude-native first, Octopus for escalation. Use Claude-native /init, /review, and /security-review when Claude is enough. Use Octopus when you want multiple model opinions, adversarial review, or stricter multi-LLM workflows.

🐙 Research, build, review, and ship — with nine AI providers checking each other's work. Say what you need, and the right workflow runs. Claude-native handles the ordinary path; Octopus handles the escalated path. A 75% consensus gate catches disagreements before they reach production. No single model's blind spots slip through.

🧠 Remembers across sessions. Integrates with claude-mem for persistent memory — past decisions, research, and context survive session boundaries.

⚡ Spec in, software out. Dark Factory mode takes a spec and autonomously runs the full pipeline — research, define, develop, deliver. You review the output, not every step.

🔄 Four-phase methodology, not just tools. Every task moves through Discover → Define → Develop → Deliver, with quality gates between phases. Other orchestrators give you infrastructure. Octopus gives you the workflows.

🐙 32 specialized personas (role-specific AI agents like security-auditor, backend-architect), 49 commands (slash commands you type), 54 skills (reusable workflow modules). Say "audit my API" and the right expert activates. Don't know the command? The smart router figures it out.

🐙 Works with just Claude. Scales to nine. Zero providers needed to start. Add them one at a time — each activates automatically when detected.

💰 Five providers cost nothing extra when you already have access. Codex, Gemini, Antigravity CLI, and Copilot use existing subscriptions or local auth. Ollama runs locally for free. Qwen now requires API-key or Coding-Plan auth; its free OAuth tier ended on 2026-04-15.

What's New

🆕 v9.41 — Multi-LLM Council. /octo:council runs a structured 3/5/7-persona deliberation across Claude, Codex, Gemini, and OpenCode with goal modes (advice, decision, plan, implement, review), styles (balanced, adversarial, red-team, executive, implementation), benchmark-aware role routing, quorum + critical-veto gates, budget caps, and gated worktree handoff for approved plans. Use it when one model's opinion isn't enough.

/octo:council --goal decision --style adversarial "Should this service stay monolithic?"
/octo:council --goal implement --implement plan-only "Refactor the auth flow"
