council

council extends your AI assistant with the ability to head-to-head comparison of coding agents (Claude Code, Aider, Codex, etc.) on custom tasks with pass rate, cost, time, and consistency metrics. Rather than leaving your conversation to handle this manually, you can ask your Claude agent directly — and it will take care of the task end-to-end, using council as its underlying capability.

council integrates with Claude through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) standard. The skill is version-controlled and shareable — if you work with a team, you can commit the skill to your project repo and everyone gets the same capability without any extra setup.

Getting started with council takes about two minutes. Place the skill at `~/.claude/skills/council/` (personal, all projects) or `.claude/skills/council/` (project-specific), then restart your AI client. From that point, typing `/council` in any conversation activates it, or the AI will use it on its own when it detects a relevant request.

council is a community-contributed AI productivity skill available through DiscoverAISkills. Like all skills on DiscoverAISkills, it is free to install and use. The broader AI skills ecosystem continues to expand as developers contribute new capabilities across categories like developer tools, data analysis, writing, automation, and more.
