The LLM Council
Stop Your Yes-Man AI and Build a Board of Advisors That Argues Before It Agrees
Your AI tells you what you want to hear, then builds a flawless case on a cracked premise. Build the council that argues before it agrees: five independent advisors, anonymous peer review, one verdict you can trust. The complete system Karpathy sketched and nobody finished, as Claude Code skills you run this weekend.
Your AI takes your premise as ground truth and builds an elegant case on top of it. If the premise is cracked, you do not get pushback, you get a flawless tower on a broken floor. The fix is not a sharper prompt. It is a council: a panel of AI advisors that attack the question from five angles, peer-review each other anonymously, and hand back one verdict with the dissent shown. This is the complete council system Andrej Karpathy sketched and nobody finished, built as Claude Code skills you run this weekend. Nearly 200 pages, and every build chapter ships a council that actually runs.
What You'll Build
The silent cost of running every important decision past one agreeable model, and the turn toward a council.
The four-box flow: independent answers, anonymous peer review, and a chairman that returns one verdict.
The three ways a single model leads you wrong (hallucination, sycophancy, bias) and which a council fixes.
A working five-advisor /council Claude Code skill, one command, no two-terminal setup.
The anonymous ranking and the chairman that turns five opinions into one verdict with the dissent named.
A parameterized template and an archetype library so you convene the right council for any decision.
Route GPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok through OpenRouter so no single vendor's blind spot decides the verdict.
A /review-council where Codex, Claude, and Gemini argue over your diff and block on any real bug.
A standing /board for pricing, hiring, and go/no-go calls where a yes-man is most expensive.
A /verify council that fact-gates a claim and reports SUPPORTED, CONTRADICTED, or an honest UNVERIFIABLE.
The honest cost reckoning, parallel execution, and the guardrail against a council faking consensus.
Tie every council into one operating system with a one-line guide for which to convene when.
