Models respond individually, rank each other's responses, then a Chairman synthesizes the final answer. Use this skill when the user wants multiple AI perspectives, consensus-building, or the \"LLM Council\" approach inspired by Karpathy. Powered by fast, affordable open-weight models on Fireworks.\nallowed-tools: Read, Write, Bash, AskUserQuestion\n```\n\n# LLM Council (Fireworks AI)\n\nThis skill implements Karpathy's LLM Council concept where multiple open-weight LLMs deliberate on a query, powered entirely by Fireworks AI:\n\n1. **Phase 1**: All models respond to the query independently (parallel)\n2. **Phase 2**: Models rank each other's anonymized responses\n3. **Phase 3**: A Chairman LLM synthesizes the final answer\n\nAll inference runs through **Fireworks AI** using open-weight models. The speed and pricing of Fireworks makes it practical to run multi-model deliberation that would be slow or expensive on other providers.\n\n## CRITICAL RULES\n\n1. **ALWAYS use AskUserQuestion** to let the user select council models (multiselect) and the Chairman model\n2. **ALWAYS save raw responses to files** - never summarize or truncate API outputs\n3. **ALWAYS show full transparency** - display all individual responses, all rankings, AND the final synthesis\n4. **NEVER skip the ranking phase** - it is essential to the council deliberation process\n5. **Read from files for display** - ensures content is shown unmodified\n6. **ALWAYS display the final output to the user** after Phase 3 completes\n\n## Pre-flight Check\n\nBefore running any phase, verify the Fireworks API key is set:\n\n```bash\nif [ -z \"$FIREWORKS_API_KEY\" ]; then\n  echo \"ERROR: FIREWORKS_API_KEY is not set.\"\n  echo \"Create a Fireworks AI account at: https://fireworks.ai/\"\n  echo \"Then export it in your shell profile (~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc):\"\n  echo '  export FIREWORKS_API_KEY=YOUR_KEY\n  exit 1\nfi\necho \"FIREWORKS_API_KEY is set.\"\n```\n\n## Available Models\n\nPresent these options to the user via AskUserQuestion (multiselect):\n\n| Model | Fireworks ID | Provider |\n|-------|-------------|----------|\n| GLM 5 | accounts/fireworks/models/glm-5 | Z.ai |\n| DeepSeek V3.1 | accounts/fireworks/models/deepseek-v3p1 | DeepSeek |\n| DeepSeek V3.2 | accounts/fireworks/models/deepseek-v3p2 | DeepSeek |\n| MiniMax M2.1 | accounts/fireworks/models/minimax-m2p1 | MiniMax |\n| Kimi K2.5 | accounts/fireworks/models/kimi-k2p5 | Moonshot |\n| Qwen3 235B | accounts/fireworks/models/qwen3-235b-a22b | Alibaba |\n| Llama 4 Maverick | accounts/fireworks/models/llama4-maverick-instruct-basic | Meta |\n\n## Workflow\n\n### Step 1: Gather User Input\n\nUse AskUserQuestion to get:\n1. The query/question for the council (or accept it from the conversation)\n2. Which models to include (multiselect, recommend 3-5 models)\n3. Which model should be the Chairman (single select)\n\nNote: AskUserQuestion supports max 4 options per question. Since there are 7 models, split model selection across two questions, or show the most popular 4 and let the user type \"Other\" for the rest. A good default is to show 4 models in the first question and note the others are available via \"Other\". Rotate which models are shown based on variety.\n\nExample AskUserQuestion for model selection (show 4, mention others):\n```\nquestion: \"Which models should participate in the LLM Council? (Also available via Other: Llama 4 Maverick, Qwen3 235B, GLM 5)\"\nheader: \"Models\"\nmultiSelect: true\noptions:\n  - label: \"DeepSeek V3.2\"\n    description: \"DeepSeek's newest and most capable model\"\n  - label: \"MiniMax M2.1\"\n    description: \"MiniMax's strong open-weight model\"\n  - label: \"Kimi K2.5\"\n    description: \"Moonshot's strong open-weight model\"\n  - label: \"DeepSeek V3.1\"\n    description: \"DeepSeek's proven reasoning model\"\n```\n\nExample AskUserQuestion for chairman:\n```\nquestion: \"Which model should be the Chairman (synthesizes the final answer)?\"\nheader: \"Chairman\"\nmultiSelect: false\noptions:\n  - label: \"DeepSeek V3.2 (Recommended)\"\n    description: \"Newest DeepSeek, strong at comprehensive analysis\"\n  - label: \"GLM 5\"\n    description: \"Strong reasoning for synthesis\"\n  - label: \"Kimi K2.5\"\n    description: \"Strong at structured synthesis\"\n  - label: \"MiniMax M2.1\"\n    description: \"Strong open-weight model for synthesis\"\n```\n\n### Model Name to ID Mapping\n\nUse this mapping to convert user selections to Fireworks model IDs:\n\n```python\nMODEL_MAP = {\n    \"GLM 5\": \"accounts/fireworks/models/glm-5\",\n    \"DeepSeek V3.1\": \"accounts/fireworks/models/deepseek-v3p1\",\n    \"DeepSeek V3.2\": \"accounts/fireworks/models/deepseek-v3p2\",\n    \"MiniMax M2.1\": \"accounts/fireworks/models/minimax-m2p1\",\n    \"Kimi K2.5\": \"accounts/fireworks/models/kimi-k2p5\",\n    \"Qwen3 235B\": \"accounts/fireworks/models/qwen3-235b-a22b\",\n    \"Llama 4 Maverick\": \"accounts/fireworks/models/llama4-maverick-instruct-basic\",\n}\n```\n\n### Step 2: Run Phase 1 - Individual Responses\n\nAfter gathering input, run this script to get responses from all selected models in parallel:\n\n```bash\nQUERY=\"USER_QUERY_HERE\"\nMODELS='[\"accounts/fireworks/models/glm-5\", \"accounts/fireworks/models/deepseek-v3p1\"]'\n\npython3 << 'PYEOF'\nimport os\nimport json\nimport requests\nimport time\nfrom concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor, as_completed\n\nFIREWORKS_API_KEY = YOUR_KEY\nAPI_URL = \"https://api.fireworks.ai/inference/v1/chat/completions\"\n\nQUERY = os.environ.get(\"QUERY\", \"\")\nMODELS = json.loads(os.environ.get(\"MODELS\", \"[]\"))\n\n# Create session directory\ntimestamp = time.strftime(\"%Y%m%d-%H%M%S\")\nSESSION_DIR = f\"/tmp/llm-council/{timestamp}\"\nos.makedirs(SESSION_DIR, exist_ok=True)\n\n# Save config\nconfig = {\"query\": QUERY, \"models\": MODELS, \"timestamp\": timestamp}\nwith open(f\"{SESSION_DIR}/config.json\", \"w\") as f:\n    json.dump(config, f, indent=2)\n\ndef call_model(model_id, query):\n    \"\"\"Call a single model via Fireworks AI\"\"\"\n    try:\n        start = time.time()\n        response = requests.post(\n            API_URL,\n            headers={\n                \"Authorization\": f\"Bearer {FIREWORKS_API_KEY}\",\n                \"Content-Type\": \"application/json\"\n            },\n            json={\n                \"model\": model_id,\n                \"messages\": [\n                    {\"role\": \"system\", \"content\": \"You are participating in an LLM council deliberation.
