How it works
01 · Answer
2–8 models respond independently in parallel.
|
02 · Review
1–8 reviewers compare anonymous answers, identify gaps, and rank them.
|
03 · Decide
One arbiter weighs the answers and reviews to produce a final recommendation.

Your models. Use configured DSH providers and credentials. Choose models separately for each role, with reuse across roles. English and Chinese follow DSH's language setting.
Inspectable results. Confidence notes, consensus, disagreements, blind spots, model identities, and average rankings. Original answers and reviews remain in DSH's child sessions.

Usage
Enter this command in a DSH Web conversation:
/council
Choose your panel
Select answerers, reviewers, and an arbiter. Selections apply to one run.
|
Ask your question
Each participant starts with fresh context. Include the information it needs in your question.
|
Example question
Compare PostgreSQL leasing with a managed message queue for three workers. Explain how each recovers when a worker crashes after an external side effect but before acknowledging the job. Recommend one design and state its assumptions.
|
Cost
4–17 model participants per run. Each may make multiple requests and use Web tools.
|
Privacy
Your question and intermediate answers go to selected providers. See Security.
|
Accuracy
Model agreement does not guarantee correctness. Review the evidence and confidence notes.
|
Configuration
Defaults and overrides
The defaults work without additional configuration. To adjust limits, set config on the dsh-council entry in your DSH profile:
- id: dsh-council
config:
answerMaxTokens: 16384
reviewMaxTokens: 16384
arbiterMaxTokens: 16384
childTimeoutMs: 300000
runTimeoutMs: 900000
subagentProvider: spawn
Token limits apply per model request. Timeouts are in milliseconds; runTimeoutMs must be at least childTimeoutMs.
