Number of council members or specific investigative stances to represent (optional; default three distinct stances). Scope constraints and admissible evidence sources (optional). The user-stated criteria bound the investigation; do not widen scope beyond them.</p>\n<h2>Procedure</h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Restate the question and confirm scope against the user-stated criteria. Bound the investigation before spawning; do not widen scope. Done when: the question is restated and scope is confirmed against user criteria.</li>\n<li>Define council members as distinct investigative stances appropriate to the question (for example optimist, skeptic, risk-auditor, domain expert). Use the user-specified stances when supplied; otherwise default to three. Done when: each council member is assigned a distinct investigative stance.</li>\n<li>Spawn one subagent per stance. Each subagent investigates the question independently from its assigned stance, gathers evidence, and returns a position with supporting evidence and identified risks. Done when: one subagent is spawned per stance and each returns a position with evidence and risks.</li>\n<li>Collect all subagent positions without merging prematurely. Done when: every subagent position is collected unmerged.</li>\n<li>Compare positions across stances: mark consensus points, disagreements, and unresolved risks. Done when: consensus points, disagreements, and unresolved risks are marked across all positions.</li>\n<li>Synthesize a decision memo stating the recommendation, the consensus reached, dissenting views, residual risks, and the evidence supporting each. Done when: the memo states recommendation, consensus, dissent, residual risks, and per-point evidence.</li>\n<li>Present the memo. Do not select or execute a decision unless the user explicitly authorizes further action. Done when: the memo is presented and no decision is executed without explicit user authorization.</li>\n</ol>\n<h2>Failure and recovery</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Subagent returns no usable position: mark that stance as inconclusive, proceed with remaining members, and note the gap in the memo.</li>\n<li>All subagents inconclusive or evidence insufficient: return a non-converged memo stating the blocker; do not fabricate consensus or pretend the done predicate holds.</li>\n<li>Scope drift detected: stop, restate the user-stated criteria, and re-bound before continuing; never widen scope to manufacture a result.</li>\n<li>Subagent attempts repo mutation without user-scoped authorization: treat as out-of-scope, exclude the action, and record the violation in the memo.</li>\n<li>Partial-result rule: a memo with some inconclusive stances is valid as long as every gap is explicitly recorded; never silently drop a stance.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Output</h2>\n<p>A decision memo containing recommendation, consensus, dissenting views, residual risks, and evidence. Terminal classification is converged (consensus reached) or non-converged (insufficient evidence or unresolved disagreement).</p>\n","files":[{"path":"agents/openai.yaml","sizeBytes":142,"isText":true},{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":3708,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
