--- name: council-verdicts description: "Starter: interpret a council run's verdict artifacts — quorum, dissent, cross-lab validity, and what to do next" --- # Council Verdict Interpretation (Starter Pack) Read a completed council run's artifacts and explain what the verdicts actually mean before anyone acts on them. ## When to use A `/octo:council` run has finished and the user asks "so what did the council decide?" or pastes a summary.json path. ## Steps 1. **Locate artifacts.** Find the newest council output under `~/.claude-octopus/results/` (look for `summary.json` and per-seat verdict files). If none exist within the session window, say so; never invent a verdict. 2. **Check roster validity.** From `summary.json`, confirm each seat's real provider and model (the agy seat records its resolved model, not `default`). Flag same-lineage panels: two seats backed by the same model family weaken the verdict's independence. 3. **Tally the verdicts.** Report the raw count (APPROVE / REJECT / ABSTAIN / REVISE) and whether quorum was met. A malformed or missing verdict from a seat counts as ABSTAIN, and the SubagentStop gate (`hooks/subagent-stop-gate.sh`) may have flagged it; check the gate's usage log for quality scores. 4. **Surface dissent.** Quote the strongest dissenting argument verbatim. A 2-1 split with a substantive dissent is a weaker mandate than 3-0; say which one this is. 5. **Recommend the action.** Map the tally to a next step: unanimous APPROVE means proceed; majority with dissent means proceed with the dissent's concern as a follow-up item; majority REJECT means do not proceed and list what would change the outcome.
