# The Council Convene Qwen and Google Gemini as the default advisory board. Both review the fully inlined request; Qwen runs through OpenRouter and Gemini through its selected CLI backend. Codex remains available through `--with-codex` / `--codex-only`, and automatically replaces Qwen with a loud warning when OpenRouter is not configured. ## Prerequisites - Project has a `CLAUDE.md` file in the working directory - `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` exported for the default Qwen seat - A Gemini backend installed and authenticated (`gemini` with a paid API key, or `agy`) - Optional: `codex` CLI for `--with-codex`, `--codex-only`, or the automatic no-OpenRouter compatibility fallback ## Permission Setup Before running any council scripts, request all necessary bash permissions upfront at the start of the session. This prevents permission prompts from interrupting the advisory flow mid-execution. Tell the user: ``` The Council needs to run bash scripts to invoke external advisors. I'll request permission for all of them now so the flow isn't interrupted. ``` Then run the two active scripts in sequence to trigger permission grants: 1. `bash <skill_dir>/scripts/council_preflight.sh <working_directory>` — CLI availability check 2. `bash <skill_dir>/scripts/council_invoke.sh` (with `--help` or a no-op) — advisor invocation Once permissions are granted, proceed with the workflow. The user will not be prompted again for these scripts during the session. ## Workflow ### 0. Preflight Ch
