SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires pydantic-ai, pyyaml, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill resolves high-stakes, ambiguous questions by simulating a structured, multi-perspective debate, preventing cognitive biases like groupthink and positional commitment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured Debate Protocol: Executes a rigorous process including premortems, iterative cross-examination, and convergence-aware synthesis.
  • Convergence Diagnostics: Provides quantitative confidence dispersion and argument novelty metrics to determine if a decision is truly resolved.
  • Use Case: Use this to evaluate architectural trade-offs, such as choosing between database technologies, by spawning expert agents to stress-test assumptions and surface hidden risks before you commit.

Quick Start

Run the agent-council skill to debate the question of whether to migrate from SQLite to Postgres for the current service.

FAQPage Schema
How do I use multi-agent debate for architectural decision-making and risk assessment?

Multi-agent debate for architectural decision-making uses pydantic-ai to orchestrate adversarial agents that stress-test assumptions, run premortems, and cross-examine trade-offs to surface hidden risks before you commit.

What is convergence diagnostics in structured multi-agent debate?

Convergence diagnostics in structured multi-agent debate provides quantitative confidence dispersion and argument novelty metrics to determine whether a decision is truly resolved or requires further cross-examination.

Can I evaluate database migration trade-offs using pydantic-ai multi-agent orchestration?

Yes, you can evaluate database migration trade-offs by spawning expert agents with pydantic-ai to simulate a structured debate, stress-test assumptions, and surface hidden risks before committing.

Do I need Python 3.10 and pydantic-ai to run structured debate graphs?

Yes, you need Python 3.10 or higher and pydantic-ai installed to execute the structured debate graph and generate typed synthesis reports with convergence diagnostics.

How does structured debate prevent groupthink in complex architectural decisions?

Structured debate prevents groupthink in complex architectural decisions by simulating adversarial collaboration across multiple expert agents, forcing iterative cross-examination and premortems instead of positional commitment.

When should I not use multi-agent debate for decision-making?

You should avoid multi-agent debate for simple, low-stakes decisions where the overhead of spawning expert agents and running convergence diagnostics outweighs the benefit of surfacing hidden assumptions.
