SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provide a structured way to run the VernHole multi-persona council against an existing discovery output, consolidation, or master plan so teams can surface diverse perspectives, contradictions, and a synthesized roadmap without rerunning a full discovery.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Context discovery and validation: Accepts an explicit file path or helps locate a consolidation file inside a discovery project and shows a preview for confirmation.
  • Configurable council and LLM selection: Lets the user choose council composition and LLM mode (mixed or single) to tailor debate style and depth.
  • Safe CLI orchestration: Maps selections to a secure CLI invocation that enforces plugin-root discovery and prohibits executing code from user-provided paths.
  • Use Case: Hand a previously produced consolidation file to VernHole to get a rapid synthesis of key themes, conflicts, and recommended changes for the master plan.

Quick Start

Run VernHole on the consolidation file ./discovery/my-project/output/04-mighty-consolidation.md and produce a council synthesis and summary of contradictions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get multi-persona critique on an existing discovery output without rerunning a full discovery?

You can run a multi-persona council on existing consolidation files to gain fresh perspectives and detect contradictions without rerunning a full discovery. The tool validates the context file and applies configurable council composition to generate a synthesized roadmap.

How do I apply multi-persona synthesis to a specific consolidation file path?

Provide an explicit file path to your consolidation file, or let the tool locate it within your discovery project directory. The system shows a preview for confirmation before securely invoking the CLI wrapper to generate the synthesis.

Can I configure the council size and LLM mode for synthesis tasks?

Yes, you can configure both council composition and LLM mode for synthesis tasks. The tool lets you select mixed or single LLM modes to tailor the debate style and depth of the multi-persona critique applied to your master plan.

Does the CLI orchestration execute code from user-provided file paths?

No, the CLI orchestration prohibits executing code from user-provided paths. It enforces plugin-root discovery and maps user selections to a secure CLI invocation, ensuring the environment remains protected from arbitrary path execution.

What is the best way to surface contradictions in a master plan?

Handing your master plan to a multi-persona council for rapid synthesis is the best way to surface contradictions. This process highlights key themes and conflicts, providing recommended changes without requiring a full discovery rerun.
