Review Council — Setup & Status

Review Council — Setup & Status

Show the user which review providers are available and what's missing.

Step 1: Detect Providers

Run these checks in parallel:

Claude

Always available. Skip detection.

Codex

which codex 2>/dev/null && codex --version

• If found: "Codex (CLI) ........... available"
• If not found, check if mcp__codex__codex tool is available: "Codex (MCP) ........... available"
• If neither: "Codex ................. not found — install: npm install -g @openai/codex && codex login"

Gemini

which gemini 2>/dev/null && gemini --version

• If found: "Gemini (CLI) .......... available"
• If not found, check if Gemini MCP tool is available: "Gemini (MCP) .......... available"
• If neither: "Gemini ................ not found — install: npm install -g @google/gemini-cli"

Perplexity

test -n "$PERPLEXITY_API_KEY" && echo "set" || echo "not set"

• If set: "Perplexity (API) ...... available"
• If not set: "Perplexity ............ not configured — set PERPLEXITY_API_KEY env var"

GitHub CLI (for PR reviews)

which gh 2>/dev/null && gh auth status 2>&1 | head -3

• If authenticated: "GitHub CLI ............ authenticated"
• If not: "GitHub CLI ............. not found or not authenticated (PR reviews disabled)"

Step 2: Summary

Print:

Reviewers:
  - Claude (native) ........... always available
  - Codex ..................... [available (CLI) | available (MCP) | not found]
  - Gemini ................... [available (CLI) | available (MCP) | not found]
  - Perplexity ............... [available (API) | not configured]

[N] of 4 reviewers available. [Convergence mode ready. | Single-reviewer mode — install at least one additional provider.]

Usage:
  /review-council:run              auto-detect target
  /review-council:run 42           review PR #42
  /review-council:run src/foo.ts   review source code
  /review-council:run docs/plan.md review a plan or document

Step 3: Guidance (if needed)

If fewer than 2 providers are available, suggest the easiest one to add based on what the user likely already has:

• If they have Node.js: suggest Codex (npm install -g @openai/codex)
• If they have a Perplexity account: suggest setting the API key
• Otherwise: suggest Gemini
