What problem does it solve?
Help teams make structured, evidence-backed decisions by evaluating a proposal from four distinct perspectives and producing a weighted recommendation, reducing bias and overlooked risks during architectural or product trade-offs.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Parse and Clarify: Extracts the proposal, alternatives (or infers status quo), and relevant context from the user's prompt and asks one clarifying question if needed.
- Codebase-grounded Analysis: Scans the repository for tech stack, related code, configs, and dependencies to ground each perspective in real evidence.
- Parallel Sub-agents & Synthesis: Orchestrates four parallel sub-agents (Advocate, Critic, Pragmatist, User-Proxy), collects 200–400 word evidence-focused responses, and synthesizes them into a decision matrix and a clear recommendation.
- Governance & Safety: Enforces that sub-agents run via the Agent tool and that the skill itself remains read-only and analytic.
Quick Start
Ask the assistant to evaluate your proposal by saying: /council Should we migrate the payments module to a microservices architecture given our current monolith and CI/CD pipeline?
