# Escalate risky coding tasks into multi-model debate and consensus gates with Claude Octopus

Use Claude Octopus when ordinary Claude Code flows are not enough and a risky coding task needs adversarial multi-model review, disagreement surfacing, and a consensus gate before shipping.

## Prerequisites

Claude Code; optional additional model providers such as Codex, Gemini, Copilot, Qwen, Ollama, Perplexity, or OpenRouter

## Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- npm install -g @openai/codex @google/gemini-cli @qwen-code/qwen-code 2>/dev/null || true
- npm install github:nyldn/claude-octopus#main --prefix openclaw

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- <img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/Claude_Code-v2.1.14+_required-blueviolet" alt="Requires Claude Code v2.1.14+">
- Provider API calls require internet access from the hosted environment.
- "command": "node",

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- For scheduled Claude Code tasks, run /octo:sentinel for triage and /octo:security for recurring audits. Keep jobs read-only by default and route fixes through /octo:debug, /octo:review, or /octo:embrace after triage.
- | Reduce token usage | /octo:doctor (includes RTK install + token tips) |
- | Just run something quick | /octo:quick |
