What kind of output can I expect from the council?

You will receive a structured verdict (ranging from Proceed to Do Not Proceed), a risk assessment matrix, a summary of consensus/dissensus points, and a steelmanned version of the strongest counter-argument.

What are the different roles in the AI Council?

The council can include a Moderator, Visionary, Critic, Pragmatist, Innovator, Ethicist, and specialized Domain Experts depending on the configuration.

How long does a debate typically last?

By default, the council runs for 2 rounds of cross-examination, but this can be adjusted between 1 and 4 rounds using the -r flag.

Does this skill require specific Claude Code settings?

Standard mode requires Agent Teams to be enabled via the CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1 environment variable. However, an Economy Mode (-e) is available for sequential execution.

What is the difference between workflow-debate and workflow-brainstorm?

Brainstorming is for divergent idea generation, while debate is for convergent evaluation. Use debate when you have a specific plan that needs to be challenged and stress-tested.

Productividad y Flujo de Trabajo

Orchestrates structured adversarial debates between specialized AI personas to rigorously stress-test ideas, architectures, and strategic decisions.

The Workflow Debate skill leverages the 'AI Council' framework to provide multi-perspective analysis of complex proposals. Unlike standard brainstorming, it utilizes structured adversarialism where specialized agents—including a Visionary, Critic, Pragmatist, and Ethicist—engage in direct cross-examination and peer messaging. This process surfaces blind spots, identifies hidden risks, and culminates in a nuanced verdict (PROCEED, RECONSIDER, or DO NOT PROCEED) supported by a risk assessment matrix, helping developers and leads make more informed technical and strategic choices.
