Deliberation: Clearness Committee

Overview

When a question needs more than one perspective can provide in one context, convene a clearness committee - spawn specialized agents to do parallel deep work, then synthesize toward unity.

Core principle: Some questions deserve distributed depth, not single-context breadth. Recognize when to convene.

When to Convene

Convene for:

• Code reviews touching multiple concerns (security, performance, architecture, maintainability)
• Architecture decisions with many dimensions
• Research requiring deep exploration of multiple options
• Design decisions where each option deserves full consideration
• Trade-off analysis where each perspective requires significant context
