Ask Synero’s AI Council questions from the terminal and get one synthesized answer from four contrasting AI advisors. Use when a user wants a higher-confidence take on strategy, research, architecture, hiring, positioning, or other judgment-heavy questions where multiple perspectives beat a single-model reply.
Use this skill to query Synero from the terminal when one AI answer is not enough. Synero is positioned as a collective AI intelligence product: one prompt goes to four advisors with different reasoning styles, then Synero synthesizes them into a single response.
This is most useful for ambiguous or high-leverage questions where you want disagreement, tradeoffs, blind-spot checking, and a clearer final recommendation.
Use it for prompts like:
Prefer simpler tools for basic factual lookups or one-shot chores. This skill shines when the question is judgment-heavy.
architect, philosopher, explorer, maverickGet your API key from https://synero.ai, then export it before running the script:
export SYNERO_API_KEY="sk_live_..."
If you are not sure where to get the key, sign in at https://synero.ai and use the API/settings area there.
Optional environment variables:
export SYNERO_API_URL="https://synero.ai/api/query"
export SYNERO_TIMEOUT="120"
export SYNERO_MODEL_ARCHITECT="gpt-5.2"
export SYNERO_MODEL_PHILOSOPHER="claude-opus-4-6"
export SYNERO_MODEL_EXPLORER="gemini-3.1-pro-preview"
export SYNERO_MODEL_MAVERICK="grok-4"
export SYNERO_MODEL_SYNTHESIZER="gpt-4.1"
python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/synero/scripts/synero-council.py "Should we ship this feature in the next 30 days?"
That command uses SYNERO_API_KEY from your environment and sends the request to Synero at https://synero.ai/api/query unless you override SYNERO_API_URL.
Use --quiet when you want only the synthesized answer with no extra status lines:
python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/synero/scripts/synero-council.py --quiet "Evaluate this architecture plan and recommend a prototype path."
Use --raw when you want the raw event stream for troubleshooting or to inspect council behavior live:
python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/synero/scripts/synero-council.py --raw "What are the strongest arguments for and against this pricing change?"
Use model overrides when you want to pin specific advisors or a specific synthesizer:
python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/synero/scripts/synero-council.py \
--thread-id "your-thread-id" \
--advisor-model architect=gpt-5.2 \
--advisor-model philosopher=claude-opus-4-6 \
--advisor-model explorer=gemini-3.1-pro-preview \
--advisor-model maverick=grok-4 \
--synthesizer-model gpt-4.1 \
"Your question"
Default mode prints:
--quiet prints:
--raw prints:
Write prompts that invite useful disagreement, not generic brainstorming.
--thread-id when continuing the same topic across multiple rounds--quiet when another tool or script needs clean final text only--raw when debugging streaming behavior or inspecting advisor outputsFor reusable prompt templates, read:
