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.

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.
