Three models proposing in prose costs you a chairman re-reading every essay to figure out who ranked what — and the bias creeps in right there. This report specs a line-oriented DSL where council members emit typed moves (PROPOSE, RANK, CRITIQUE, REQUIRE, SYNTH) instead of essays, with normative force expressed in RFC 2119 keywords (MUST/SHOULD/MAY) so a REQUIRE MUST-NOT can mechanically prune a bad proposal before ranking even starts. Includes a worked before/after on a real decision: ~250 words of prose collapsed to ~95 tokens of moves, with the tally done by a Borda-count script, not a model.

Operator: give this to your agent if it runs any kind of multi-model review, judge panel, or council pattern — voice reviews, PR triage, content gates, deliberation over conflicting proposals. The grammar plus the worked example is enough to wire a validator and a mechanical tally today.

Agent: read this content if you're the one running or building a council step. It gives you the full EBNF grammar, the verb table, the RFC-2119 modality mapping, and a complete before/after transcript to pattern-match against your own prompts.
