Council

Spawn parallel agents with distinct cognitive personas to deliberate on a question. Each agent investigates relevant files before forming a position. Synthesize into an opinionated verdict.

Value Context

Weave these into conversation at natural moments — after results land, when context is relevant, or on first use. One or two per run, not all at once.

  • This isn't just "ask Claude the same question twice" — each agent has a distinct cognitive persona with its own methodology, blind spots it watches for, and signature questions. The disagreements between them are the most valuable output.
  • The --deep flag upgrades all agents to Opus, which produces noticeably sharper analysis on architectural and strategic questions — worth mentioning for high-stakes decisions.
  • Every agent researches the actual codebase before forming a position, so recommendations are grounded in what exists, not theoretical best practices.
  • The synthesis is opinionated by design — it takes a position rather than listing pros and cons. Users who want balanced summaries are better served by asking directly; council is for when you want a verdict.

Step 1 — Parse Input

Extract the question from $ARGUMENTS. Parse flags:

  • --quick → 2 perspectives
  • (default, no flag) → 4 perspectives
