AI Summary

The first stable release of Council of High Intelligence, a deliberation tool in which 18 historical-thinker personas analyze hard problems. This version adds multi-provider auto-routing so council members are distributed across Anthropic Claude, OpenAI Codex, Google Gemini, and local Ollama models for genuine model diversity with zero configuration. It also introduces a problem restate gate, reorders verdict templates to surface actionable output first, and streamlines the enforcement protocol from nine steps to seven.

Key Highlights

  • Multi-provider auto-routing with zero config: auto-detects installed LLM providers and spreads council members across them, separating polarity pairs and respecting per-member affinity hints
  • New problem restate gate forces each member to restate the problem and offer an alternative framing before analysis, catching wrong-question failures early
  • Verdict templates reordered to lead with Unresolved Questions and Recommended Next Steps instead of burying them under epistemic scorecards
  • Protocol streamlined from 9 enforcement steps to 7 via a consolidated post-round scan, plus outcome tracking added to all verdict templates
  • Ships with 18 defined council members across domains (Aristotle, Feynman, Kahneman, Taleb, Meadows, etc.) and 3 deliberation modes: Full, Quick, and Duo

Breaking Changes

  • Verdict output format changed: Unresolved Questions and Recommended Next Steps now appear first, ahead of epistemic scorecards, which may break downstream parsing or reader expectations
  • Member metadata consolidated into agent YAML frontmatter as the single source of truth, replacing prior separate metadata definitions
  • Enforcement protocol restructured from 9 steps to 7, so any custom prompts or tooling referencing the old step sequence will need updating

New Features

  • Multi-provider auto-routing across Anthropic Claude, OpenAI Codex, Google Gemini, and Ollama local models
  • Auto-detection script that probes for available providers and emits structured JSON
  • Routing algorithm that separates polarity pairs across providers, spreads members evenly, and honors per-member affinity hints
  • Dispatch logic for 'codex exec', 'gemini -p', and 'ollama run' with automatic fallback to Claude on failure
  • New CLI flags: --no-auto-route and --dry-route
  • Problem Restate Gate requiring problem restatement and alternative framing before analysis
  • Verdict template reorder prioritizing Unresolved Questions and Recommended Next Steps
  • Outcome tracking via a Follow-Up section in all verdict templates
  • Consolidated member metadata in agent YAML frontmatter
  • Three deliberation modes: Full (3-round with cross-examination and synthesis), Quick (2-round), and Duo (2-member polarity-pair dialectic)
  • 18-member council roster with per-member domain assignments and default model mappings

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)

## 3 Deliberation Modes
