Debate

Runs a bounded, structured multi-agent debate on a contested decision and returns a single recommended answer (or an honest "no clear winner" when positions are genuinely tied).

This skill is self-contained and uses Claude Code's native subagent primitives — no external team-manager dependency.

When to use this vs superpowers:brainstorming

Use debate when Use brainstorming when
Positions are nameable upfront (A vs B, or 2–4 named options) Analysis is open-ended; positions emerge from exploration
You want a decision You want a trade-off map and recommendation from parallel lenses
The question is contested (multiple defensible answers exist) You need Explorer/Analyst/Critic working in parallel without messaging

If the topic is open-ended design ("design our notification system") or has no real contest ("should we use version control"), stop and suggest the alternative.
