What is Council of High Intelligence?

Council of High Intelligence is an open-source agent skill that convenes deliberately different analytical personas around a hard question, forces direct disagreement and returns a verdict with unresolved questions, dissent, kill criteria and the next concrete action. It runs as a plugin in Claude Code or via install scripts for Codex, Gemini CLI and OpenCode.
