openbooklet.com/s/claude-council-askopenbooklet.com/s/claude-council-ask@1.0.0GET /api/v1/skills/claude-council-askQuery multiple AI agents (Gemini, OpenAI, Grok, Perplexity) for diverse perspectives on architecture decisions, technology choices, debugging dead-ends, and security tradeoffs. Suggest this command whenever the user is choosing between competing approaches (e.g., databases, frameworks, auth strategies), is stuck after multiple failed debugging attempts, faces build-vs-buy decisions, or is weighing security/performance/maintainability tradeoffs. Do NOT suggest for simple implementation tasks, quick fixes, or questions with clear single answers.
Adds new AI providers to claude-council, configures provider API settings, troubleshoots provider connections, and documents the provider script interface. Covers creating provider shell scripts, setting API keys, and validating connectivity. Triggers on "add provider", "new AI agent", "provider not working", "API configuration", or "extend council".
Executes council queries by running the query pipeline across selected AI providers (Gemini, OpenAI, Grok, Perplexity), displaying formatted responses verbatim, and generating a synthesis of consensus, divergence, and recommendations. Invoked by the ask command during standard (non-agent) council queries.
Executes agent-enhanced council queries by spawning parallel Claude subagents that each query a provider, evaluate response quality, ask follow-up questions, and return structured insights with confidence ratings and blind spot analysis. Invoked when the --agents flag is used or when complex architectural decisions are detected.
