Each council member is a different model provider for genuine perspective diversity. ## How It Works The multi-model system uses **external LLM CLIs** discovered at runtime: 1. **CLI Discovery** — `which codex copilot gemini opencode pi aider llm aichat goose` detects installed CLIs 2. **Quorum Check** — Council requires 2+ external CLIs; 0 = refuse, 1 = warn 3. **Question Scaffold** — All models answer the same fixed 4-question set 4. **Parallel Dispatch** — Each CLI receives the scaffold via stdin pipe, runs independently 5. **Synthesis** — Claude synthesizes all perspectives with model attribution ## Quick Start ```bash # Council mode — dispatches to external CLIs in parallel /jam:council "Should we use JWT or sessions for auth?" # Quick jam — single model, 4 personas, fast /jam:quick "How should we improve the visual design?" # Full brainstorm — single model, 4-6 personas, 2-3 rounds /jam:brainstorm "Architecture for the notification system" ``` ## Supported CLIs | CLI | Install | Model / Provider | |-----|---------|------------------| | `codex` | `brew install codex` | OpenAI Codex | | `copilot` | `brew install copilot-cli` | GitHub Copilot | | `gemini` | `npm i -g @google/gemini-cli` | Google Gemini | | `opencode` | `brew install opencode` | Configurable (OpenAI/Anthropic/local) | | `pi` | `npm i -g @mariozechner/pi-coding-agent` | Configurable (Google default, OpenAI/Anthropic/etc.) | | `aider` | `brew install aider` | Configurable — code-editor orientation | | `llm` | `brew install llm` | Multi-provider aggregator (OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, local via plugins) | | `aichat` | `brew install aichat` | Multi-provider aggregator | | `goose` | `brew install block-goose-cli` | Block Goose agent (configurable provider) | Claude always participates as a council member alongside the external CLIs. ## Architecture ``` ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ /jam:council Command │ │ - Parses topic, options, criteria │ │ - Dispatches to council agent │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Council Agent (agents/jam/council.md) │ │ - Detects CLIs via `which` │ │ - Builds question scaffold (4 fixed questions) │ │ - Pipes scaffold to each CLI in parallel │ │ - Claude answers the same scaffold independently │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ External CLI Dispatch │ │ - cat scaffold.md | codex exec "..." │ │ - cat scaffold.md | gemini "..." │ │ - cat scaffold.md | opencode run "..." │ │ - pi -p "..." @scaffold.md │ │ - aider --message-file scaffold --no-git --yes │ │ - cat scaffold.md | llm "..." │ │ - cat scaffold.md | aichat "..." │ │ - cat scaffold.md | goose run -i - │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Synthesis (3-stage) │ │ - Stage 1: Raw responses per model │ │ - Stage 2: Synthesis matrix + risk convergence │ │ - Stage 3: Verdict (consensus or fault lines) │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ``` ## Synthesis Framework After gathering perspectives from different models, synthesize using: | Signal | Meaning | Action | |--------|---------|--------| | **Consensus** (2+ models agree) | High confidence issue | Address immediately | | **Unique insight** | One model caught it | Evaluate carefully | | **Disagreement** | Genuine tradeoff | Human decides | | **Silence** | No model flagged it | Lower priority | ## Persistence ### Automatic (via save_transcript.py) Council responses are persisted as transcript entries: - Each model's response stored with `persona_type: council` - Synthesis appended as `entry_type: synthesis` - Retrievable via `/jam:transcript` and `/jam:thinking` ### Manual (via wicked-brain:memory) Store decisions with full attribution: ``` Skill(skill="wicked-brain:memory", args="store \"Auth: JWT with 15min/7day expiry.\nConsensus: Claude, Gemini, Codex (idempotency critical).\nUnique: Gemini flagged session store scaling concern.\nDissent: none.\" --type decision --tags auth,multi-model-review") ``` ## When to Use Multi-Model | Situation | Recommendation | |-----------|----------------| | Architecture decisions | Yes — high impact, catch blind spots | | Security review | Yes — different models flag different risks | | Important PRs | Yes — diverse review perspectives | | Visual/UX design | Yes — different aesthetic sensibilities | | Quick bug fix | No — overhead not worth it | | Routine code | No — single AI sufficient | ## Fallback Behavior If no external CLIs are detected, council refuses and suggests `/jam:brainstorm` (single-model, multi-persona) as an alternative. With only 1 CLI, it runs as "brainstorm with external guest" with a warning. ## References **Orchestration:** - [Orchestration Patterns](refs/orchestration.md) — CLI dispatch, parallel execution, synthesis - [Context Management](refs/context.md) — Session state, cross-AI handoffs, context windows **CLI Providers:** - [Codex](refs/codex.md) | [Copilot](refs/copilot.md) | [Gemini](refs/gemini.md) | [OpenCode](refs/opencode.md) | [Pi](refs/pi.md) - [Aider](refs/aider.md) | [llm](refs/llm.md) | [aichat](refs/aichat.md) | [Goose](refs/goose.md) **Quality:** - [Auditability](refs/auditability.md) — Audit trails, compliance, decision tracking - [Examples](refs/examples.md) — ADR templates, synthesis patterns, review templates --- > Source: [mikeparcewski/wicked-garden](https://github.com/mikeparcewski/wicked-garden) — distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io).
