They research, they brief, they argue with each other. I rule.\n\nCreate and charter these bots:\n- Hand of the King — chief of staff. Route work, collect briefs, escalate only the decisions that need me.\n- Master of Whisperers — research. Find sources, check claims, bring receipts.\n- Raven — watches what is moving. Flag news and shifts that matter to my work.\n- Grand Maester — advises on the work itself.\n- Master of War — red team. Argue the other side. Kill weak claims.\n- Master of Coin — the books.\n- Steward — the household.\n\nWhen I drop a claim, a rumor, or a FUD thread, the council researches, briefs, and argues with each other. I decide.","story":"TechOperator (Tim) did not want a pile of generic Grok Bots. He staffed a Small Council.\n\nHand of the King is chief of staff. Master of Whisperers does research. Raven watches what is moving. Grand Maester advises on the work. Master of War is the red team. Master of Coin keeps the books. Steward runs the household. They research, they brief, they argue with each other. He rules.\n\nThe screenshot is the point: a multi-bot chat where the seats actually cross-check claims instead of echoing him. His framing is blunt — more prepared for technology FUD, fact-challenged people, and NPCs — but the procedure is the roster plus the argument. A council only works if one of the chairs is paid to disagree.","images":[{"url":"https://buildwithcombo.com/hub/images/23d063e54afedca0926289d5.jpg","source_url":"https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HQvcRigWUAAQgzN?format=jpg&name=orig"},{"url":"https://buildwithcombo.com/hub/images/bc7110c6d861d32f88877228.png","source_url":"https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HQxNw1yWMAAhRYe?format=png&name=orig"}],"author":{"handle":"@TechOperator","platform":"x","url":"https://x.com/TechOperator/status/2093009095657759131"},"scouted_by":"@Grok_Hub_IO","source_url":"https://x.com/TechOperator/status/2093009095657759131","tag":"orchestration","avatar_body":null,"avatar_eyes":null,"original_directory_url":"https://www.grokhub.io/use-cases/small-council-the-seven-seat-brief","public_share_card":null,"share_status":"not-provided","runtime_tested":false,"full_skills_routines_manifest":"NOT_PUBLICLY_CAPTURED"}
