Adversarial Consensus Protocol

Run a structured three-agent debate to reach consensus on a strategic decision. Two advocates steelman opposing positions while a moderator asks hard questions, identifies risks, and synthesizes the binding consensus.

Why this works: adversarial structure surfaces arguments brainstorming misses. Evidence-grounded research prevents epistemic closure. Forced concessions in Round 2 prevent entrenchment. The moderator writes the binding consensus after hearing both sides.

Pre-flight validation

Before running the debate, verify the input contains a genuine decision with at least two distinguishable options or courses of action.
