Council of Experts, Multi-Model Validation

When to Auto-Trigger

Plans (auto_validate_plans)

When you write a plan to ~/.claude/plans/, automatically validate it:

~/bin/validate-plan --threshold 2 ~/.claude/plans/<plan-file>.md

• 2+ of 3 approve → execute immediately
• 1 of 3 → surface reviewer feedback to user before proceeding
• 0 of 3 → revise plan, re-validate

Architecture Decisions (auto_review_architecture)

When making architectural changes (new services, API redesigns, database schema changes), run:

~/bin/review --all "Review this architecture: <summary>"

PR Review (auto_review_prs)

Before marking a PR as done, run:

~/bin/review --all --file <changed-files>

Configuration

Council behavior is configured in ~/.claude/council.yaml. The Maggy dashboard (Settings > Council) also manages this config.

Chief of the Council

chief: claude-fable-5, Claude Fable 5 (Anthropic's most capable widely-released model, GA 2026-06-09) leads every panel as the chief: it reviews first and casts the deciding synthesis. Invoked via ~/bin/claude-fable-5. Override the chief in ~/.claude/council.yaml.

Reviewer Contexts

The chief leads each context, followed by the panel:

Context	Default Reviewers	When
plan	Claude Fable 5 (chief), DeepSeek Pro, Codex, Gemini Pro	Before executing any plan
review	Claude Fable 5 (chief), DeepSeek Pro, Kimi	Code review, PR review
architecture	Claude Fable 5 (chief), DeepSeek Pro, Gemini Pro, Grok	System design, schema changes

Threshold Rules

The threshold setting controls how many approvals are needed:

• threshold: 2 with 3 reviewers → need 2/3 to auto-execute
• Clamped to [1, reviewer_count], can't be 0 or exceed available reviewers
