AI Summary

The first stable release introduces a multi-provider AI deliberation system featuring 18 historical thinkers designed to solve complex problems through structured debate.

Key Highlights

  • Multi-Provider Auto-Routing automatically distributes council members across available AI providers (Claude, OpenAI, Google, Ollama) without configuration.
  • Problem Restate Gate ensures all members frame the problem correctly before analysis begins to prevent wasted computation.
  • Verdict templates are reorganized to prioritize actionable items like Unresolved Questions and Recommended Next Steps.
  • Three new deliberation modes (Full, Quick, Duo) allow users to choose the depth of analysis.
  • The release consolidates member metadata into agent YAML frontmatter and streamlines the protocol from 9 to 7 steps.

New Features

  • Multi-Provider Auto-Routing with auto-detection scripts and routing algorithms.
  • Problem Restate Gate for validating question framing.
  • Reordered Verdict Templates highlighting Unresolved Questions and Next Steps.
  • Streamlined protocol reducing enforcement steps from 9 to 7.
  • Outcome tracking with a Follow-Up section in all verdict templates.
  • Consolidated member metadata into agent YAML frontmatter.
  • Three deliberation modes: Full (3-round), Quick (2-round), and Duo (2-member).
  • 18 council members with specific default models and domains (e.g., Aristotle, Sun Tzu, Ada Lovelace).

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)
