🐙 Claude Octopus

Every AI model has blind spots. Claude Octopus puts up to eight of them on every task, so blind spots surface before you ship — not after. It orchestrates Codex, Gemini, Copilot, Qwen, Ollama, Perplexity, and OpenRouter 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 eight 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), 50 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 eight. Zero providers needed to start. Add them one at a time — each activates automatically when detected.

💰 Five providers cost nothing extra. Codex and Gemini use OAuth (included with subscriptions). Qwen has 1,000-2,000 free requests/day. Copilot uses your GitHub subscription. Ollama runs locally for free.

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"
