deliberate

Deliberation Mode

Agents critique each other's answers and refine through peer review.

Usage

/consultant:deliberate Should we use REST or GraphQL for our API?
/consultant:deliberate What's the best state management approach for this app?

How It Works

Deliberation runs in 4 rounds:

Round 1: Initial Perspectives

• Launch all 5 agents in parallel
• Each agent provides initial analysis independently

Round 2: Critique & Challenge

• Share all Round 1 responses with all agents
• Each agent reviews others' answers, points out errors/gaps/strengths

Round 3: Refinement

• Agents revise positions based on feedback
• Identify emerging consensus

Round 4: Final Synthesis

• Analyze convergence vs divergence
• Highlight consensus points
• Present unresolved disagreements with reasoning
• Rate confidence based on agent agreement

Execution

Round 1: Launch 5 agents in parallel using Task tool:

• consultant:codex-researcher
• consultant:gemini-researcher
• consultant:grok-researcher
• consultant:perplexity-researcher
• consultant:claude-researcher

Prompt each: "Provide your initial analysis on: $ARGUMENTS"

Round 2: Launch 5 agents again with all Round 1 responses. Prompt: "Review these perspectives and critique them. Point out errors, gaps, and strong points."

Round 3: Launch 5 agents with all prior responses. Prompt: "Based on the critiques, refine your position. Acknowledge valid points, defend or modify your stance."

Round 4: Synthesize in the main session — identify convergence, note disagreements, provide confidence rating.
