What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of exploring complex topics in a disciplined way, by orchestrating multi-perspective dialectical discussion rather than letting the conversation drift or settle for shallow agreement.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured multi-perspective roundtable: Selects 3–5 real historical or contemporary figures and assigns distinct stances to create real tension (not just binary pro/cons).
  • Dialectical turn-taking loop: Forces each participant to respond directly to the previous statement, enabling deeper disagreement, correction, and synthesis.
  • Meta-structured reasoning: Produces per-round controversy extraction, an ASCII framework map, and a next-level guiding question; ends with a global knowledge network and unresolved questions.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to run a roundtable for your topic, for example: “圆桌讨论 自由意志是否存在?”,and then follow the provided主持人指令来推进或结束讨论.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a structured roundtable debate to explore a complex topic?

To run a structured roundtable debate, specify your topic and the skill selects 3–5 real representative figures with distinct stances, then facilitates dialectical turn-taking to synthesize multi-perspective reasoning into an archived markdown summary.

What is dialectical reasoning and when do I need it for topic exploration?

Dialectical reasoning is a truth-seeking method where opposing perspectives challenge each other iteratively. You need it when a topic requires multi-perspective exploration to reveal deeper synthesis rather than settling for a single shallow answer.

Can I use multi-perspective debate for knowledge synthesis instead of asking for a direct answer?

Yes, multi-perspective debate is designed for knowledge synthesis. By assigning distinct stances to historical or contemporary figures, it creates real tension that extracts per-round controversies and maps them into a global knowledge network.

How do I archive a debate discussion to my Obsidian inbox?

To archive a debate discussion to your Obsidian inbox, the skill automatically generates a structured markdown file featuring an ASCII framework map and unresolved questions, saving it directly to your specified Obsidian inbox path.

Does this roundtable discussion tool require any external dependencies or APIs?

No, this roundtable discussion tool requires zero external dependencies or APIs. It runs entirely self-contained, using internal reasoning to select real representative figures and manage conversational dynamics.

What's the best way to map arguments and extract controversies during a debate?

The best way to map arguments is through meta-structured reasoning, which produces per-round controversy extraction, an ASCII framework map, and a next-level guiding question to visualize the dialectical tension and unresolved inquiry.
