Practical overview
When it fits
Use it for decisions with material downside, competing values, incomplete evidence or limited reversibility. The project recommends simpler answers for factual lookups and experiments for cheap, reversible choices.
Who it is for
- People making consequential decisions with competing values or incomplete evidence.
- Teams reviewing proposals, launches, architecture choices or product decisions in a supported coding-agent environment.
- Users who want to compare several analytical lenses or capture dissent alongside a recommendation.
Documented uses
- Gather independent initial analyses of a decision before discussion.
- Use cross-examination or a focused debate to expose tradeoffs and assumptions.
- Produce a verdict that records unresolved questions, dissent, kill criteria and a concrete next step.
- Revisit a decision later against a recorded prediction and evidence that could change the recommendation.
Requirements & limits
The project is open source under the MIT license. The README documents installation for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and OpenCode.
- Select among full, quick, duo and named-triad modes based on whether broad coverage, adversarial discussion or one focused tension is needed.
- The supported environments are Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and OpenCode; installation differs by host.
- Verdicts retain unresolved questions and dissent rather than forcing consensus when the weighted tally remains split.
- The README advises recording the decision, constraints, evidence, reversibility and deadline before deliberation.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Before you start
- Git and a shell environment
- Codex, Gemini CLI or OpenCode
Steps
Clone
https://github.com/0xNyk/council-of-high-intelligence.gitand change into the repository directory.Run
./install.sh --codex-only,./install.sh --gemini-onlyor./install.sh --opencode-onlyfor the matching host.Restart the target client.
Invoke
/councilwith a decision question.
Expected outcome
The README specifies the matching host installation and says the `/council` command remains the same across supported hosts.
Guide limitations
- Choose the installer flag that matches the target host.
