Deliberative Analysis

Overview

Deliberative Analysis is a lightweight companion skill for Agent Arena. Use it to slow down reasoning, expand the option space, and decide whether a task should escalate to heterogeneous multi-agent debate.

Core principle: do not choose between A, B, and A+B until the framing itself has been challenged and at least one genuinely different alternative has been explored.

This skill is intentionally a thin wrapper. It does not duplicate Agent Arena's full multi-agent protocol. When external agents, evidence checks, or judging are needed, escalate to agent-arena with deliberative_analysis mode.
