# Council Query Execution ## Step 1: Run Query and Save to File ```bash bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/run-council.sh --providers=gemini,openai -- "Your question" ``` This outputs the path to the saved file (e.g., `.claude/council-cache/council-1734567890.md`). **Flag syntax**: Use `=` with no spaces: `--providers=gemini,openai` **CRITICAL**: Always place `--` before the prompt to prevent prompt text containing dashes from being parsed as flags. **Run this Bash call with `timeout: 600000`** (ten minutes). The Bash tool's two-minute default is shorter than a slow council round, and inside tmux a provider failure makes the streaming pane offer the user a retry for `COUNCIL_RETRY_WAIT` seconds (default 45) and then runs another provider round if accepted. A call cut off mid-run loses the whole transcript, the answers that did arrive included. ## Step 2: Read and Display the Output VERBATIM Use the **Read tool** to read the output file path returned by Step 1. **CRITICAL**: Display the file content EXACTLY as written. Do NOT: - Reformat or reinterpret any text - Add your own headers or structure - Summarize or abbreviate responses - Skip any lines including separator lines (`---`) Simply copy-paste the entire file content into your response. ## Step 3: Complete the Synthesis Section The file ends with a `## Synthesis` header. Read `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/prompts/synthesis.md` and write your synthesis UNDER that header following its structure (Consensus / Divergence...
