SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Single-perspective AI answers often miss blind spots, weak assumptions, and unexplored trade-offs when making architectural or design decisions. This Skill convenes multiple specialized agents (architect, designer, engineer, researcher) that debate a topic in structured rounds, responding to each other's actual points to surface insights through intellectual friction. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Four workflow tiers: Micro (5-10s inline sanity check), Quick (10-20s fast perspectives), ISCReview (15-25s criteria quality review), and Debate (30-90s full 3-round structured debate with transcript). - Visible debate transcripts: Agents reference and challenge each other's specific points across rounds, ending with a synthesis of convergence, disagreements, and a recommended path. - Customizable council composition: Add domain experts like security (Pentester) or a writer when topics touch auth, data, APIs, or public-facing work. - Use Case: Before choosing between WebSockets and SSE for a feature, run the Debate workflow to get a 3-round transcript where the architect, designer, engineer, and researcher challenge each other, then receive a synthesized recommendation. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to run a council debate on whether to use WebSockets or SSE for your real-time feature.

Frequently Asked Questions about Council

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a multi-agent debate on a technical decision?

Invoke the Debate workflow with your topic, such as "Council: Should we use WebSockets or SSE?" Four agents (architect, designer, engineer, researcher) debate across three rounds in parallel batches, producing a full transcript and synthesis in 30-90 seconds.

What is the difference between Council and RedTeam skills?

Council is collaborative-adversarial: agents debate toward the best path with visible multi-round transcripts. RedTeam is purely adversarial: it produces a steelman and counter-argument to attack an idea. Use Council for decisions, RedTeam for stress-testing.

Which Council workflow should I use for a quick sanity check?

Use the Micro workflow for inline sanity checks. It runs all four agents in one parallel batch with one-sentence responses, finishing in 5-10 seconds with a Proceed/Pause/Rethink signal. Escalate to Quick or Debate if 2+ agents raise concerns.

Can I add a security expert to the council debate?

Yes. Requesting "Council with security" adds the Pentester agent to the debate, which is recommended when topics touch authentication, data handling, or APIs. You can also add a writer agent or restrict the council to specific members.

When should I use ISCReview instead of a full debate?

Use ISCReview when evaluating criteria quality rather than choosing between options. Each agent reviews your criteria list for missing items, weak wording, and blind spots in a single 15-25 second round, ideal before the planning phase.
