6.11[BONUS]
The LLM Council, five advisors on one decision
Ask one chat a question and you get one answer, and nothing to check it against.
The council is a skill that puts the same question in front of five advisors at once, each arguing from a different angle and told not to be balanced.
Then all five mark each other's answers with the names stripped off, and a chairman writes the verdict.
It is adapted from Andrej Karpathy's LLM Council, and it is for a decision with money or months attached, not for a factual question or a writing job.

Every answer to the other four, with the names stripped off
It is a skill, so it installs the way any skill does.
Paste the prompt below into a chat in your folder and it fetches the file from GitHub and puts it under .claude/skills.
Then start a message with “council this” and the question, with your numbers and constraints in it, and read what comes back.
It is at its most useful on the days it tells you something you were hoping not to hear.
Note: If you have already decided and want agreement, it will mostly tell you the other thing, which is the point.
