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.
