SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The council skill helps you make ambiguous decisions when multiple options are credible and you need structured disagreement to avoid anchoring on a single viewpoint.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Four-voice decision deliberation: Uses an Architect stance plus Skeptic, Pragmatist, and Critic perspectives to surface tradeoffs, failure modes, and execution constraints.
  • Anti-anchoring execution: Launches subagents with only the question and minimal relevant context to prevent the synthesis from mirroring them.
  • Scannable verdict output: Produces a compact decision summary including consensus, strongest dissent, premise check, and a synthesized recommendation.

Quick Start

Use the council skill when you face an unclear “go/no-go” choice by asking it to convene a four-voice council and produce a verdict with consensus, strongest dissent, and a final recommendation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get a structured second opinion for a difficult go/no-go decision?

To get a structured second opinion for a go/no-go decision, convene a four-voice council that produces a verdict with consensus, strongest dissent, and a synthesized recommendation. This prevents anchoring on a single viewpoint when multiple credible options exist.

What is the best way to evaluate tradeoffs in strategic product decisions?

The best way to evaluate tradeoffs in strategic product decisions is using an anti-anchoring deliberation process. It launches independent role-based subagents to surface execution constraints and failure modes, ultimately synthesizing a compact recommendation with premise checks.

How do you prevent decision anchoring when weighing multiple credible options?

To prevent decision anchoring when weighing multiple credible options, launch independent subagents with only the question and minimal context. This ensures the final synthesis does not mirror initial viewpoints and surfaces the strongest dissent.

Can I use this approach for ambiguous choices without providing extensive background context?

Yes, you can use this approach for ambiguous choices without extensive background context. The mechanism extracts the real question first, gathering only necessary context to run independent role-based subagents for a compact recommendation.

What perspectives are included in a four-voice decision deliberation?

Perspectives included in a four-voice decision deliberation feature an Architect stance alongside Skeptic, Pragmatist, and Critic roles. These independent voices surface tradeoffs, failure modes, and execution constraints to form a scannable verdict output.

When should I avoid using a structured dissent framework for risk assessment?

You should avoid using a structured dissent framework for risk assessment when facing binary choices with only one credible option or when you lack a clearly defined strategic question to extract and evaluate.
