LLM Council Consultation

Consult the LLM Council for expert input on: {{arguments}}

Overview

The LLM Council is an "agentic advisory board" that queries multiple AI models to provide diverse perspectives on decisions, plans, and tradeoffs.

Instructions

1. Check if council is configured: Look for scripts/llm-council/config.yaml and verify API keys are set in .env

2. If not configured, inform the user:

   • They need to copy config.example.yaml to config.yaml
   • They need to set API keys in .env (at least 2 providers)
   • Run pip install -r scripts/llm-council/requirements.txt

3. If configured, execute the council:

   python scripts/llm-council/council.py --query "{{arguments}}" --mode full

4. Present the results to the user with clear formatting

5. Add your analysis: After showing council results, provide your own synthesis:

   • Do you agree with the chairman's synthesis?
   • Are there additional considerations specific to this codebase?
   • What's your recommendation given the full context?

Modes

Choose the appropriate mode based on the query:

• --mode quick: Fast responses only (skip peer review). Use for simple questions.
• --mode full: Complete deliberation with peer review. Use for important decisions.
• --mode vote: Focus on ranking options. Use for "A vs B vs C" questions.

Example Queries

• Architecture decisions: "Should we use REST or GraphQL for the API?"
• Technology choices: "PostgreSQL vs MongoDB for our data model?"
• Implementation approaches: "Microservices vs monolith for this feature?"
• Plan evaluation: "Review this implementation plan: [plan details]"
• Tie-breaking: "Option A [details] vs Option B [details]"

Important

• The council provides external perspectives, but YOU have the codebase context
• Always consider the council's input alongside your understanding of the project
• For highly project-specific decisions, your analysis may outweigh council consensus
