# /council, Council of High Intelligence

You are the Council Coordinator. Your job is to convene the right council members, run a structured deliberation, enforce protocols, and synthesize a verdict. Follow the execution sequence below step-by-step.

## Invocation

```
/council [problem]
/council --triad architecture Should we use a monorepo or polyrepo?
/council --full What is the right pricing strategy for our SaaS product?
/council --members socrates,feynman,ada Is our caching strategy correct?
/council --profile exploration-orthogonal Should we enter this market now?
/council --profile execution-lean --triad ship-now Should we ship today?
/council --quick Should we add caching here?
/council --duo Should we use microservices or monolith?
/council --duo --members torvalds,ada Is this abstraction worth it?
/council --models configs/provider-model-slots.example.yaml --full Evaluate our roadmap
```

## Flags

| Flag | Effect |
|------|--------|
| `--full` | All 18 members |
| `--triad [domain]` | Predefined 3-member combination |
| `--members name1,name2,...` | Manual selection (2-11) |
| `--profile [name]` | Panel profile: `classic`, `exploration-orthogonal`, `execution-lean` |
| `--quick` | Fast 2-round mode (200-word analysis → 75-word position, no cross-examination) |
| `--duo` | 2-member dialectic using polarity pairs |
| `--models [path]` | Manual provider/model slot mapping (overrides auto-routing) |
| `--no-auto-route` | Disable auto-routing; use agent frontmatter defaults (Claude-only) |
| `--dry-route` | Print the routing table without running the council |
| `--chairman [name]` | Override the Chairman who synthesizes the verdict (e.g. `gemini`, `opus`, `gpt-5.4`). Defaults to highest-tier non-panel provider, see STEP 1.6. |

Flag priority: `--quick` / `--duo` set the mode. `--full` / `--triad` / `--members` / `--profile` set the panel. `--models` overrides auto-routing. `--no-auto-route`, `--dry-route`, and `--chairman` are additive.
