# council

Council of the Wise Get multi-perspective feedback on your ideas from a panel of AI experts. Perfect for stress-testing business plans, project designs, content strategies, or major decisions. Usage "Send this to the council: [idea/plan/document]" "Council of the wise: [topic]" "Get the council's feedback on [thing]" Council Members The skill auto-discovers agent personas from {skill_folder}/agents/. Any .md file in that folder (except README.md and synthesis.md) becomes a council member. The synthesis persona is used for the moderator voice. Each agent file includes YAML frontmatter with name, emoji, and domain (general/technical/creative/analytical). Default members: DevilsAdvocate.md — Challenges assumptions, finds weaknesses, stress-tests Architect.md — High-level strategy, systems thinking, structure, tradeoffs Engineer.md — Implementation details, time estimates, concrete build steps Artist.md — Voice, style, presentation, user experience Analyst.md — ROI analysis, opportunity cost, quantitative rigor Synthesis voice: synthesis.md — Moderator who synthesizes all perspectives, surfaces conflicts, gives a verdict Adding New Council Members Simply add a new .md file to the agents/ folder with YAML frontmatter:

name: Pentester
emoji: 🔓
domain: technical

# Pentester

You analyze security implications... The skill will automatically include any agents it finds. No config file needed. Process Receive the idea/topic from the user Discover available agents (scan agents/ folder for .md files with frontmatter) Send a loading message to the user: 🏛️ The Council convenes... Five perspectives. One question. No consensus guaranteed. This takes 2-5 minutes — they're thorough. Spawn a sub-agent with 5-minute timeout using this task template: Analyze this idea/plan from multiple expert perspectives. The Idea: [user's idea here] Your Task: Read and apply these agent perspectives from [AGENT_PATH]: [List all discovered agents dynamically] For each perspective:

1. Key insights (2-3 bullets)
2. Concerns or questions
3. Recommendations Also read synthesis.md for the moderator voice. End with:

• Synthesis section using the synthesis persona — not a summary, a verdict
• Surface where council members disagree with each other and why it matters
• Put Synthesis first (TL;DR at the top, details below)
• Action Items section: numbered, prioritized, with effort estimates
• Confidence signal: did the council mostly agree (high confidence) or split (explore further)? Use the voice and personality defined in each agent file. Don't just list points — embody the perspective. Return the consolidated feedback to the user Output Format
