// how it works

How it works

  1. Pick your host agent

    Install into Claude Code as a plugin, or use the repo's installer for Codex, Gemini CLI, or OpenCode.

  2. Install the council

    Add the marketplace and install the plugin (Claude Code), or clone and run the installer script for other hosts.

  3. Restart your client

    Restart the agent CLI so the /council command and skill bundles load.

  4. Convene your first council

    Ask a real decision question with /council and review the verdict, dissent, and next action.

Why people love it

18 persona lenses

Distinct analytical frameworks — from Feynman's first principles to Taleb's fragility analysis — applied independently before synthesis.

Structured deliberation

Independent analysis, then cross-examination, then a verdict that keeps dissent visible instead of averaging it away.

Evidence discipline

Claims are labeled FACT, INFERENCE, ASSUMPTION, or UNKNOWN so you can see what the answer rests on.

Fast modes and triads

--quick for a fast pass, --duo for two lenses, named triads for common question types, or --members to seat a custom panel.

Multi-provider routing

Council work can run across Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, and Ollama where available, using your existing access.

Portable deliberation bundles

Runs produce self-contained bundles you can re-check later with any model.

// run it

Run it yourself

  1. Clone the repository

    Clone the project (needed for the Codex/Gemini/OpenCode installers; Claude Code users can use the plugin commands below).

    git clone https://github.com/0xNyk/council-of-high-intelligence.git
    cd council-of-high-intelligence
  2. Install the plugin (Claude Code)

    Add the marketplace and install the council plugin.

    /plugin marketplace add 0xNyk/council-of-high-intelligence
    /plugin install council@council-of-high-intelligence
  3. Convene a council

    Restart Claude Code, then ask your question — add --quick for a fast pass or --triad strategy for a focused panel.

Questions, answered

Who maintains Council of High Intelligence?

Developer 0xNyk; the project site is at nyk.dev/oss/council-of-high-intelligence.

Is it free?

Yes, MIT-licensed. It runs through agent CLIs you already use, so model costs follow your existing subscriptions or API arrangements.

Does it need a paid API key?

No separate key for the council itself — it routes through Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, or Ollama sessions you already have.

How does it compare to just asking one model?

A single chat gives one blended answer. The council runs independent persona analyses, cross-examines them, and returns a verdict with dissent, kill criteria, and evidence labels preserved.

How do I get started?

In Claude Code run `/plugin marketplace add 0xNyk/council-of-high-intelligence`, then `/plugin install council@council-of-high-intelligence`, restart, and call `/council <your question>`.
