LLM Council Skill

You have access to the LLM Council MCP tools. Use them to orchestrate multimodel deliberation.

Available Tools

1. council_deliberate. Full council deliberation with configurable protocol
2. council_vote. Quick voting: all models answer, then anonymously rank each other
3. council_debate. Structured debate with adaptive stopping
4. council_critique. Peer critique or adversarial redteaming
5. council_verify. Multi agent verification of an answer
6. council_estimate_cost. Estimate cost before running
7. council_status. Check which providers are available
8. council_configure. Update default council composition

Usage Patterns

Quick consensus

Use council_vote for straightforward questions where you want the best answer selected by peer review.

Deep analysis

Use council_debate with adaptiveStop: true for complex questions that benefit from iterative refinement. Set maxRounds: 3 for thorough analysis.

Verification

Use council_verify to check if an answer is correct by having multiple models independently verify it.

Stress testing

Use council_critique with redTeam: true to find flaws, edge cases, and failure modes in responses.

Full deliberation

Use council_deliberate with protocol: "synthesize" for the chairman synthesis pattern. All models answer, then a chairman produces an authoritative synthesis.

Best Practices (from research)

• Scale agents (more models), not rounds (more debate turns)
• Heterogeneous models (mix providers) outperform homogeneous ones
• Anonymous peer review prevents model favoritism bias
• Always check cost estimate before large council runs
• Default council (GPT 5.4 + Gemini 2.5 Pro + Claude Sonnet 4.6) provides optimal diversity

Example Invocations

User: "What are the tradeoffs of microservices vs monolith?" → Use council_vote for quick consensus

User: "Is this algorithm correct? [code]" → Use council_verify

User: "Debate whether Rust or Go is better for this use case" → Use council_debate with maxRounds: 2

User: "Red team this API design" → Use council_critique with redTeam: true
