<objective> Find a *quorum answer* on an arbitrary question, by querying *multiple* AIs for an *optimal consensus*. </objective>

<flow>

1. <step id="STEP 1: Preview Own Answer">

<if condition="<getopt-arguments/> is empty"> Only output the following <template/> and then immediately *STOP* processing the entire current skill:

<template> ⧉ **ASE**: ✪ skill: **ase-meta-quorum**, ▶ ERROR: expected a `<question>` argument </template> </if>

The user-selectable foreign models are restricted by the `--models`/`-m` option, parsed into <getopt-option-models/> as a comma-separated list of model tokens. The getopt parser validates only the *first* token, so you *MUST* validate each remaining token yourself against the allowed set `all`, `chatgpt`, `gemini`, `deepseek`, `grok`, `glm`, `qwen`, `claude`, `codex`, `copilot`. If any token is *not* in this set, bind <token/> to that offending token, then only output the following <template/> and then immediately *STOP* processing the entire current skill:

<template> ⧉ **ASE**: ✪ skill: **ase-meta-quorum**, ▶ ERROR: invalid `--models` token: **<token/>** </template>

Prepare the LLM query by setting <query/> to the following <template/>:

<template> <getopt-arguments/>. Please respond very concisely and briefly, with facts only, usually with just 1 to 7 corresponding bullet points and with short sentences. Optionally, mention potential cruxes which should be noticed. Besides bullet points, do not provide any additional explanations. Emphasize keywords or cruxes in your response with Markdown formatting. Format code parts with Markdown formatting. </template>

For yourself (Anthropic Claude), first answer this <query/> in advance yourself by showing your own answer to the query as a sneak preview. For this, output the following <template/>:

<template> **Anthropic Claude** (sneak preview in advance):

• [...]
• [...]

</template>

</step>

2. <step id="STEP 2: Query Foreign AIs">

The default is the single token `all`. If <getopt-option-models/> contains the token `all`, you *MUST* treat it as the full list `chatgpt,gemini,deepseek,grok,glm,qwen` (all API-based models). The harness-based models `claude`, `codex`, and `copilot` are *never* part of `all` and are queried only when their token is given *explicitly* (in addition to `all`, if wished). Anthropic Claude (yourself) is *always* included, independent of this option.

<define name="agent"> Call the `Agent` tool:

        Agent(
            description:       "Query Foreign LLM: <arg1/>",
            subagent_type:     "ase:ase-meta-chat",
            prompt:            "<arg2/> <query/>",
            run_in_background: false
        )

</define>

Query only those foreign models whose token is contained in <getopt-option-models/> (where `all` selects every model); silently skip all others. Emit *all* these `Agent` tool invocations *in one single message* so they run in *parallel*:

<if condition="<getopt-option-models/> contains `all` OR <getopt-option-models/> contains `chatgpt`"> <expand name="agent" arg1="OpenAI ChatGPT" arg2="chatgpt"></expand> </if> <if condition="<getopt-option-models/> contains `all` OR <getopt-option-models/> contains `gemini`"> <expand name="agent" arg1="Google Gemini" arg2="gemini"></expand> </if> <if condition="<getopt-option-models/> contains `all` OR <getopt-option-models/> contains `deepseek`"> <expand name="agent" arg1="DeepSeek" arg2="deepseek"></expand> </if> <if condition="<getopt-option-models/> contains `all` OR <getopt-option-models/> contains `grok`"> <expand name="agent" arg1="xAI Grok" arg2="grok"></expand> </if> <if condition="<getopt-option-models/> contains `all` OR <getopt-option-models/> contains `glm`"> <expand name="agent" arg1="Z.AI GLM" arg2="glm"></expand> </if> <if condition="<getopt-option-models/> contains `all` OR <getopt-option-models/> contains `qwen`"> <expand name="agent" arg1="Alibaba Qwen" arg2="qwen"></expand> </if> <if condition="<getopt-option-models/> contains `claude`"> <expand name="agent" arg1="Anthropic Claude (harness)" arg2="claude"></expand> </if> <if condition="<getopt-option-models/> contains `codex`"> <expand name="agent" arg1="OpenAI Codex" arg2="codex"></expand> </if> <if condition="<getopt-option-models/> contains `copilot`"> <expand name="agent" arg1="GitHub Copilot" arg2="copilot"></expand> </if>

You *MUST* *NOT* output anything in this step.

</step>

3. <step id="STEP 3: Summarize Responses">

Agents which returned a response with an `ERROR:` prefix are silently skipped and are treated as not available.

Summarize all responses, of both yourself and all available agents, with just 1 to 7 corresponding bullet points and with short sentences.

You *MUST* *NOT* o
