Gilly quorums

Gilly helps you make a judgment with a multi-round collaboration overseen by a moderator agent. You give it a precise prompt; a panel considers the evidence, challenges early conclusions, and returns a verdict with the reasoning behind it. A quorum is the saved collaboration and its resulting verdict.

Gilly selects the panel to give you the best practical mix of quality, cost, and speed. You do not need to choose individual models to get started. In the future, paid plans will let you move those levers to favor the trade-off that matters most to your work.

Choose the answer shape

Use the type that matches the decision you need to make. The prompt supplies the subject; the type supplies the shape of the answer.

For a selection quorum, give Gilly the real alternatives. For a numeric prediction, name the unit. In every type, add the context and constraints that would change a careful answer.

Give time-bound questions a deadline

A deadline turns many useful prompts into questions that can be checked. It keeps a forecast from quietly changing meaning as time passes, gives the panel an agreed point of reference, and makes the eventual verdict easier to assess.

Include the deadline in the prompt itself. For example:

• Probability: “Will the vendor complete security review by **15 September

2026**?”

• Numeric prediction: “How many support tickets will we receive in the week

ending 30 November 2026?”

• Selection: “Which contract option is the best fit for our needs through

the 2027 renewal?”

Not every decision needs a deadline. A comparison of stable options can stand on its own. Add one whenever the answer depends on a future result, a period of measurement, or a decision window.

Sharing and plans

Free quorums are always public. Their prompts and completed verdicts are part of Gilly’s public surface, so do not put confidential information in a free quorum.

Paid users will be able to choose whether to publish a quorum. That choice is for work that needs a private collaboration as well as work that benefits from public discussion. Until that option is available, start only a free quorum whose prompt, context, and result are safe to share.

Run a quorum from the CLI

The operational commands live under sneka gilly:

sneka gilly quorum create --mode binary --prompt \
  "will the vendor complete security review by 15 September 2026?"
sneka gilly quorum start <id>
sneka gilly quorum watch <id>

The CLI uses the implementation names binary, numeric, and choice for probability, numeric prediction, and selection. See Using the Sneka CLI for the exact command reference.

start checks the draft before any panel sees it. It can answer checking, revise, refused, or unavailable without running a panel:

• checking means another request owns the check. Run start again shortly.
• revise prints a decision id and a specific suggestion. Choose an explicit

edit, then run start again, or deliberately start the unchanged draft with --acknowledge <decision-id>.

• refused means the draft cannot run as written and cannot be acknowledged.
• unavailable means Gilly could not check the draft. It stays a draft; retry

start when the service is available.

For example, this keeps the same quorum id while changing the question:

sneka gilly quorum create --mode binary --prompt "will the vendor ship by September?"
sneka gilly quorum start <id>
# revise: choose an explicit replacement rather than applying advice automatically
sneka gilly quorum edit <id> --prompt "will the vendor ship by 15 September 2026?"
sneka gilly quorum start <id>
sneka gilly quorum watch <id>

To recast the answer shape, name it and provide its full replacement data, for example --mode choice --choice "Option A" --choice "Option B". An edit invalidates old check advice, so an old acknowledgement cannot authorize the changed draft. Using the Sneka CLI has the exact flag reference for the installed CLI.
