Claude Octopus brings additional model perspectives into a Claude Code workflow. This guide walks you through installing it, checking which providers are available, and giving the council a concrete decision to challenge. Then you can use focused prompts for a build, a code review and a security pass.

The useful part of AI disagreement is the evidence it produces: a missed requirement, a failing test or a design tradeoff you can act on. More opinions alone do not establish a tenfold improvement. Judge the result against the same acceptance criteria you would use for any other implementation.
