Adversarial Debate

Overview

Runs a structured N-round debate between two opposing agents (pro and con) on any decision-requiring topic, then synthesizes a moderator recommendation. Built for architectural decisions, technology choices, security trade-offs, and design reviews — anywhere strong opinions exist and the right answer is non-obvious.

When to Use

• Architecture decision records (ADRs) needing structured justification
• Technology selection (e.g., Redis vs Postgres, REST vs GraphQL)
• Security trade-off analysis (e.g., strict vs permissive auth policy)
• Design review of competing approaches
• Any HIGH/EPIC task where the planner identifies genuine disagreement among specialists

Do not use for:

• Settled best practices (where there is consensus)
• Simple implementation tasks
• Decisions already made and documented in ADRs
