council

Overview

Council is a skill from the AgentOps repository, a toolbox of composable primitives that solve the problem of coding agents forgetting everything between sessions. AgentOps applies DevOps' Three Ways (Flow, Feedback, Learning) to the agent loop, enabling knowledge accumulation across sessions with automatic learning extraction and injection.

Key Features

• Persistent Learning - Every session extracts learnings into an append-only ledger, scores them by freshness, and re-injects the best ones at the next session start, so later sessions benefit from earlier discoveries
• Council Validation - Independent judges review code and decisions before shipping, catching issues through a structured validation gate system
• Swarm Parallelism - Parallelize any skill with swarm mode, running dependency-ordered waves or full research-plan-implement pipelines simultaneously
• Three Ways Framework - Organized into Flow (/research, /plan, /crank, /swarm, /rpi), Feedback (/council, /vibe, /pre-mortem, hooks), and Learning (.agents/, ao CLI, /retro, /knowledge)
• Automatic Decay - Stale insights decay automatically over time, ensuring that only relevant, high-confidence learnings are injected into new sessions

Who is this for?

This skill is designed for developers running multiple AI coding sessions who want their agent to accumulate knowledge and maintain context across sessions rather than starting fresh each time. It is particularly valuable for teams managing complex projects where decisions, patterns, and learnings from past sessions should inform future work.
