How does adversarial consultation catch blind spots in architecture planning?▼

Adversarial consultation catches planning blind spots by routing goals through AI teammates with distinct roles like strategist and critic to challenge assumptions and analyze decisions from multiple angles.

What do I need to set up before running an AI agent consultation for my project?▼

Running an AI agent consultation requires a project directory containing a `.council/` configuration folder to define specialized AI roles and load memory for contextual analysis.

Can I configure custom AI teammate roles for specialized security or architecture reviews?▼

You can configure custom AI teammate roles for specialized reviews, specifying agents like an architect or security auditor to debate pros and cons before implementation.

What is the difference between debate, plan, and reflect modes in AI consultation?▼

Debate, plan, and reflect modes differ by automatically routing consultation goals into focused analysis workflows, selecting the appropriate mode based on the user's request for contextual evaluation.

When should I avoid using multi-agent debate for complex goals?▼

Avoid multi-agent debate for goals lacking sufficient context for memory loading, or when a project directory with `.council/` configuration cannot be provided to route the AI teammates effectively.
