Council

Council owns persona design, member orchestration, and synthesis. A layered process skill owns the member craft and final output shape.

Read interaction-patterns.md when the task needs more than an independent panel. Member prompt → persona-prompt.md. Shared composition vocabulary → context-pack.md.

Entry gate

• The user attaches or names council for a concrete task where independent views can change the answer.
• If fewer than two useful personas remain after deduplication, use one coordinator pass. State the reason in plain language.
