What problem does it solve? LLM assistants tend to be agreeable by default, so ideas, decisions, and plans often go untested against genuinely critical perspectives. This Skill counteracts sycophancy by subjecting a brief to five adversarial advisor lenses, blind peer review, and a chairman synthesis that produces one actionable verdict. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Five adversarial lenses: Pre-mortem, First-principles, Opportunity-finder, Stranger, and Action advisors each critique the same brief from a deliberately conflicting angle. - Anonymized blind peer review: Reviews are shuffled to letters A-E and each advisor ranks the other four, preventing hierarchy bias between lenses. - Chairman synthesis: A final pass identifies convergence, divergence, a decisive verdict, and one concrete next step. - Use Case: Before committing to a risky architecture migration, run the council to surface hidden failure modes, naive outsider questions, and a concrete Monday-morning action. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run the council skill on your decision or plan, for example by saying: run a council review on my plan to rewrite the billing service in Rust.
