This skill encodes independent-verdict machinery and now lives with the outer gate product. Canonical: ~/dev/mt-olympus/.claude/skills/council/SKILL.md — read and follow that file. This stub preserves fleet routing until the using-agentops catalog closer updates the registry (skill-prune Lane A, evidence/skill-prune-recon.md).

Absorbed trigger surfaces (skill-prune phase 2)

Council also fires for the use-cases of two folded-in skills:

• multi-model-triangulation — cross-validate decisions using multiple AI models (Codex, Gemini, Grok). Use when asked to "get a second opinion", when evaluating competing approaches, or for high-stakes decisions: run the question through council's independent judges instead of a single model.
• cross-vendor-trust-gate — run the skill-factory final trust gate: operate trust-gate.sh, read skill.trust.json (trust_level + trust_score), and enforce --require-cross so cross-vendor parity gates the verdict. Canonical body: ~/dev/mt-olympus/.claude/skills/cross-vendor-trust-gate/SKILL.md.

Mixed-model (cross-family) panel

When the decision wants a mixed-model / cross-family panel rather than single-model judges, the duel substrate is /dual-pane-atm — durable Opus + Codex (+AGY) panes, or its in-session variant (Agent model: override + codex exec) that /discovery's fanout gate runs. /reverse-engineer routes one-way-door steal decisions into council.

Examples

• /council should we swap the policy engine to Cedar? — runs at the canonical location; this stub forwards. Read ~/dev/mt-olympus/.claude/skills/council/SKILL.md.

Troubleshooting

• Skill seems empty / missing scripts: the body moved to Mount Olympus (2026-06-10). Use the canonical path above; this stub exists only to keep fleet routing alive until the catalog closer updates the registry.

Runtime Contract

Multi-judge runs still bind to the shared Claude runtime surface: claude-code-latest-features.md.
