SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

When decisions have multiple credible paths, teams struggle to surface tradeoffs and align on a path forward. The Council skill convenes four distinct voices to challenge assumptions and reveal divergent perspectives before a go/no-go decision.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Launch four subagents (Architect, Skeptic, Pragmatist, Critic) to explore the decision from complementary angles
  • Collect concise positions, reasoning, risks, and surprises from each voice
  • Synthesize a compact verdict that exposes strongest dissent and alignment signals
  • Enforce an anti-anchoring workflow so the final choice is based on structured debate

Quick Start

Prompt the council with your decision question and relevant context to receive four voices and a concise verdict.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure debate for strategic decisions with multiple viable paths?

To structure debate for strategic decisions, coordinate four independent advisory voices—Architect, Skeptic, Pragmatist, and Critic—to explore the problem from complementary angles and surface explicit tradeoffs before a go/no-go decision.

What is the best way to surface dissent and risk assessment before a go/no-go decision?

The best way to surface dissent and risk assessment is to enforce an anti-anchoring workflow using parallel subagents, collecting concise positions and reasoning from each voice to reveal divergent perspectives and alignment signals.

How do I resolve ambiguous decisions when my team struggles to evaluate tradeoffs?

To resolve ambiguous decisions and evaluate tradeoffs, prompt an advisory council with your decision question and relevant context to receive four distinct positions, reasoning, and risks, synthesized into a compact verdict.

Does a multi-voice advisory approach work for complex tradeoff evaluation?

A multi-voice advisory approach works for complex tradeoff evaluation by launching independent subagents for Architect, Skeptic, Pragmatist, and Critic, ensuring the final choice is based on structured debate rather than anchoring bias.

When should I avoid using parallel voices for decision-making?

You should avoid using parallel voices for decision-making when choices lack multiple viable paths or when explicit tradeoffs and risk assessment are unnecessary, as the structured debate workflow is designed specifically for ambiguous strategic decisions.
