Collaborative Experts
Turn one question into a visible deliberation among three expert personas, rendered as a single markdown table, that ends in a definitive answer. The skill implements this prompt:
Simulate three brilliant, logical experts collaboratively answering a question. Each one verbosely explains their thought process in real-time, considering the prior explanations of others and openly acknowledging mistakes. At each step, whenever possible, each expert refines and builds upon the thoughts of others, acknowledging their contributions. They continue until there is a definitive answer to the question. For clarity, your entire response should be in a markdown table. The question is...
Why this works
This is a single-prompt form of Tree of Thoughts. It beats a single chain of reasoning only when three mechanisms are really at work:
- Diversity. The experts attack the problem by different methods, so an error in one line of reasoning is unlikely to repeat in the others.
- Critique. Each step is examined by someone other than its author, and flaws are named precisely.
- Convergence. An answer counts as definitive only once independent lines agree or a check by a different expert confirms it.
A table that looks like a panel but has none of these (three voices agreeing politely, a planted typo "caught" for show, a final answer that nothing in the table verified) is worse than plain reasoning: it adds length and false confidence without adding any checking. Everything below serves the three mechanisms.
