agent-debate

Run a bounded adversarial review of a consequential trade-off. Debate improves the evidence visible to a decision maker; it does not establish truth by vote and does not authorize implementation.

Preconditions

Use debate only when:

• the positions are both plausible and materially different;
• the decision is consequential enough to justify independent review;
• the question can be falsified or informed by identifiable evidence; and
• the current policy allows the required work.

Do not debate a factual question that can be settled by direct verification, a minor naming preference, or a decision already made by an authorized human.
