description: 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.

# Synero Skill

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.

What this skill helps with

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.

What it does

- a synthesized final answer for normal use, or

- raw SSE stream output for debugging and live visibility

Prerequisites

Get 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"

Quick command

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`.

Quiet final-output mode

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."

Streaming and debugging mode

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?"

Advanced configuration

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"

Output behavior

Default mode prints:

`--quiet` prints:

`--raw` prints:

Prompting guidance

Write prompts that invite useful disagreement, not generic brainstorming.
