a single LLM to grade its own answer is a conflict of interest. So I built Konsey — a small, MIT-licensed orchestration CLI that runs several providers as a council.
How it works: independent providers each plan, an adversarial critic attacks the plans, and a *different* provider verifies the result. The rule is hard: the producer never verifies its own output. It's a 9-state loop (plan → critique → synthesize → execute → verify → decide) with an append-only DuckDB audit trail.
Why it might matter to you:
- Vendor-neutral: Claude, Codex, Gemini — or a local Ollama / llama.cpp model. Config-driven, one line to swap.
- Local-first: run fully offline; nothing leaves your machine (good for PHI/regulated work).
