# Council of High Intelligence

> Put a hard decision to a council of analytical personas that argue it out and return a verdict with dissent, kill criteria and a next step.

Council of High Intelligence is a community skill by 0xNyk for decisions that deserve more than one line of reasoning. One command, /council, hands your question to a panel of deliberately different analytical personas. Each forms a position on its own first, then they cross-examine each other, declare final stances and synthesize a verdict that keeps unresolved questions and dissent instead of smoothing them into consensus.

What you can do with it
- Convene the full council on a high-stakes choice, such as pricing, open-sourcing or an irreversible launch
- Run a quick panel when breadth matters more than a full adversarial round
- Run a duo when one tension defines the decision, such as microservices versus a monolith
- Pick a named triad for a domain (strategy, risk, shipping, architecture, AI product, ethics and more) or choose the members yourself

How it works
- Its eighteen lenses are modeled on thinkers such as Aristotle, Socrates, Feynman, Ada Lovelace, Kahneman, Munger, Taleb and Dieter Rams. The maker describes them as analytical instruments, not impersonations: each has a method, known blind spots and a response format.
- Claims are labeled as fact, inference, assumption or unknown, and checks flag premature agreement, repeated claims and missing dissent.
- Verdicts lead with what's unresolved, then a recommendation with acceptable compromises, kill criteria and one concrete next step. A split vote is returned as a split.
- If Codex, Gemini CLI, Ollama, Cursor or an NVIDIA NIM key is available, it spreads seats across those models so one model family doesn't argue both sides.

How to install it
- In Claude Code: /plugin marketplace add 0xNyk/council-of-high-intelligence, then /plugin install council@council-of-high-intelligence.
- For Codex, Gemini CLI or OpenCode, clone the repo and run its installer with the matching flag. The command is /council everywhere.

Good to know
- The maker suggests it for decisions with real downside, competing values or incomplete evidence, not for factual lookups or cheap, reversible choices.
- It's a community project, MIT-licensed.
