SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It solves decision-making paralysis by turning a single prompt into a multi-perspective debate with explicit challenges, so you can identify trade-offs and converge on a recommended path.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-agent debate: Runs a structured council across specialized roles that critique each other rather than merely sharing opinions.
  • Three-round collaboration: Collects initial positions, then forces direct responses, and finally produces synthesis with convergence and remaining disagreements.
  • Council formats: Supports full debate transcripts and a quicker consensus check for fast validation.

Quick Start

Ask Claude Code to run Council on your topic by saying: "Council: Should we use WebSockets or SSE for our real-time app?"

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a multi-agent debate to evaluate technical trade-offs?

Run a multi-agent debate by orchestrating a structured three-round council process: collect initial positions, force direct challenges between specialized roles, and produce a final synthesis tracking convergence and disagreements.

What is the best way to resolve architectural decision paralysis?

Resolve architectural decision paralysis by structuring competing viewpoints into a multi-perspective debate with explicit challenges, identifying trade-offs, and converging on a recommended path rather than sharing isolated opinions.

Can I use a structured debate format for quick product validation?

Yes, you can use a structured debate format for quick product validation by running a consensus check, which provides a faster alternative to full debate transcripts for rapid validation of product decisions.

How does the three-round synthesis process handle disagreements?

The three-round synthesis process handles disagreements by collecting initial positions, forcing direct responses to critiques, and producing a synthesis that explicitly tracks both convergence points and remaining disagreements.

Do I need specialized role prompts to run a multi-agent council?

Yes, you need specialized council member role prompts and transcript templates to run a multi-agent council, ensuring consistent engagement-based outputs throughout the structured three-round collaboration process.

When should I avoid using a multi-agent debate for decision-making?

Avoid using a multi-agent debate for decision-making when you need a quick unilateral choice without the overhead of a structured three-round process, or when the decision lacks meaningful trade-offs requiring competing viewpoints.
