SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This utility provides a reusable, formal mechanism to verify whether a group has consent or consensus, addressing ambiguity around quorum, absence, and edge cases, and ensuring positions are accurately recorded.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Quorum verification based on mode (consent or consensus) and attendee list, with clear handling of absent members.
  • Individual polling of participants with explicit positions (consent/objection/stand-aside or agree/disagree) and an auditable record.
  • Generation and storage of a consensus/consent record in assets/consensus-record-template.yaml for traceability and integration with higher-level governance flows.

Quick Start

Run a consensus check by polling all members, recording each position to assets/consensus-record-template.yaml, and escalating if quorum fails.

Frequently Asked Questions about consensus-check

FAQPage Schema
How do I document group consensus and verify quorum for a governance decision?

To document group consensus, you can run a formal polling process that verifies quorum based on the attendee list and records each member's explicit position on the issue. This generates an auditable per-member consent record in a YAML template for traceability.

What is the difference between consent and consensus modes when polling a defined body?

Consent mode checks for the absence of voiced objections, whereas consensus mode requires absolute agreement from participants. Both modes handle absentee members and validate quorum before producing a final group position record.

How do I run a step-by-step consensus poll with absentee handling?

You execute a step-by-step consensus poll by specifying inputs like the question, participant list, mode, and quorum, then polling each member individually. Absentee handling and quorum validation are applied automatically during the process.

Can I use a per-member consensus record for higher-level governance flows?

Yes, the per-member consensus record generated in the consensus-record-template.yaml file is designed for traceability and seamless integration with higher-level governance flows.

What happens if quorum fails during a formal consent check?

If quorum fails during a formal consent check, the polling process identifies the shortfall based on the attendee list and mode, requiring an escalation or re-polling of the group at a later time.

Does formal polling for group consent require any external dependencies?

No, formal polling for group consent requires no external dependencies, utilizing only internal assets to generate and store the final consensus record template.
