Full Release Notes
# Council of High Intelligence v1.0.0 The first stable release. 18 historical thinkers deliberate on your hardest problems — now across multiple AI providers. ## What's New ### Multi-Provider Auto-Routing The council automatically detects installed LLM providers (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI via Codex, Google Gemini, Ollama local models) and distributes members across them for genuine model diversity. Zero config required. - **Auto-detection script** probes for available providers and outputs structured JSON - **Routing algorithm** separates polarity pairs across providers, spreads evenly, respects per-member affinity hints - **Dispatch logic** for `codex exec`, `gemini -p`, `ollama run` with automatic fallback to Claude on failure - New flags: `--no-auto-route`, `--dry-route` ### Problem Restate Gate Each council member must restate the problem + provide an alternative framing before analysis begins. Catches wrong-question failures before burning rounds on them. ### Verdict Template Reorder Verdicts now lead with **Unresolved Questions** and **Recommended Next Steps** — what the user needs to act on — instead of burying them below epistemic scorecards. ### Streamlined Protocol - Merged 3 enforcement steps into 1 post-round scan (9 steps → 7) - Added outcome tracking (Follow-Up section in all verdict templates) - Consolidated member metadata into agent YAML frontmatter (one source of truth per member) ## The 18 Council Members | Member | Domain | Default Model | |--------|--------|---------------| | Aristotle | Categorization & structure | opus | | Socrates | Assumption destruction | opus | | Sun Tzu | Adversarial strategy | sonnet | | Ada Lovelace | Formal systems & abstraction | sonnet | | Marcus Aurelius | Resilience & moral clarity | opus | | Machiavelli | Power dynamics & realpolitik | sonnet | | Lao Tzu | Non-action & emergence | opus | | Feynman | First-principles debugging | sonnet | | Linus Torvalds | Pragmatic engineering | sonnet | | Miyamoto Musashi | Strategic timing | sonnet | | Alan Watts | Perspective & reframing | opus | | Andrej Karpathy | Neural network intuition | sonnet | | Ilya Sutskever | Scaling frontier & AI safety | opus | | Daniel Kahneman | Cognitive bias & decision science | opus | | Donella Meadows | Systems thinking & feedback loops | sonnet | | Charlie Munger | Multi-model reasoning & economics | sonnet | | Nassim Taleb | Antifragility & tail risk | opus | | Dieter Rams | User-centered design | sonnet | ## 3 Deliberation Modes - **Full** — 3-round deliberation with cross-examination, enforcement, and synthesis - **Quick** — 2-round rapid analysis for simpler questions - **Duo** — 2-member dialectic using polarity pairs ## Installation ```bash git clone https://github.com/0xNyk/council-of-high-intelligence.git cd council-of-high-intelligence ./install.sh ``` Then restart Claude Code and use `/council` to convene.
