README

Council

Council: one question goes to every agent, names are hidden, peers rank the answers, a blind judge weighs them, then the names are revealed

With sound:

A [herdr](https://github.com/herdrdev/herdr) plugin. Put one question to every coding agent in your workspace, let each answer on its own, then have a judge agent weigh the answers blind and write one verdict.

Ask. Write the question once.
Seats answer alone. Each selected agent (Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, ...) gets the question in its own pane and writes its answer to its own folder. No seat sees another's answer.
Peer review. Each agent ranks the other agents' answers, anonymised as A, B, C, and never its own. The rankings are averaged. (On by default for up to six seats; it doubles the time.)
Blind verdict. A judge agent reads the anonymised answers and the peer ranking, with names hidden and order shuffled, and writes: consensus, conflicts, what was missed or risky, and a final answer. Then the names are revealed.

Different models notice different things. Where they agree you can trust the answer more; where they disagree there is usually a risk worth knowing about. Council works with whatever agents are running in the workspace, two or fifty.

See it work

A real run in herdr: three agents (Antigravity, Claude Code, Codex) review a small `retry.ts`, rank each other's answers, and Claude judges blind. Recorded with the mouse; the wait for answers is sped up 16×.

Install

herdr plugin install zekierman/herdr-council

Requires herdr 0.9 or newer, on Windows, macOS or Linux. The install step downloads a prebuilt binary and checks its SHA-256; if that isn't possible it builds from source with Go.
