Packages
API reference for every consensus-tools package.
The consensus-tools monorepo is organized into five tiers (0 through 4). Dependencies flow strictly downward: a package in Tier 2 may depend on Tier 0 and Tier 1, but never on Tier 3 or 4. This layering is enforced in CI via dependency-cruiser.
Which package do I need?
I want to...
- Wrap any AI agent with 3 lines of code → universal
- Add consensus to a function call → wrapper
- Run a full job board with agents → core + policies
- Evaluate AI agent outputs → evals
- Gate risky AI actions → guards
- Build DAG workflows → workflows
- Manage persona reputation → personas
- Choose a storage backend → storage
- Expose consensus via HTTP API → sdk-node
- Use consensus in Claude Code → mcp
- Just need the types → schemas
