SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you make better decisions from ambiguous or under-specified intentions by running a structured multi-perspective debate and producing a decision-ready Tradeoff Map.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-perspective council: Dynamically assembles 2–4 analyst panelists tailored to the specific topic (including adversarial and constructive lenses).
  • Iterative debate with a step-back judge: Runs up to 3 cycles of peer-to-peer debate, where a meta-level judge returns CONVERGED / PARTIAL / FULL and triggers targeted re-debate.
  • Tradeoff Map output: Produces a primary artifact that compares options across key dimensions, includes contention points, and summarizes conclusions with confidence.
  • Optional external signals: Can incorporate independent external LLM opinion (Codex) and community sentiment via dev-scan when available.

Quick Start

Use the /council command to deliberate on a topic and receive a Tradeoff Map with contention points and a recommendation.

What's the best way to deliberate deeply on product tradeoffs with explicit assumptions and counterarguments?

Does the structured debate process support incorporating external LLM opinion and community sentiment?

Yes, the structured debate process can optionally incorporate independent external LLM opinion via Codex and community sentiment through dev-scan when available, enriching the multi-perspective council analysis.
