Council
When you're stuck between two credible paths and don't want conversational momentum to decide for you, this spins up three independent subagents (Skeptic, Pragmatist, Critic) alongside your own Architect voice. The trick is they get only the question and minimal context, not the whole chat history, so they can't just echo your anchoring. You get structured disagreement before synthesis. Not for code review or implementation planning. Use it for monorepo vs polyrepo, ship now vs polish later, scope cuts, anything where multiple smart people would reasonably disagree. The output format keeps dissent visible even in the final recommendation, which is the whole point.

Council
Convene four advisors for ambiguous decisions:
- the in-context Claude voice
- a Skeptic subagent
- a Pragmatist subagent
- a Critic subagent
This is for decision-making under ambiguity, not code review, implementation planning, or architecture design.
When to Use
Use council when:
- a decision has multiple credible paths and no obvious winner
- you need explicit tradeoff surfacing
- the user asks for second opinions, dissent, or multiple perspectives
- conversational anchoring is a real risk
- a go / no-go call would benefit from adversarial challenge
Examples:
- monorepo vs polyrepo
- ship now vs hold for polish
- feature flag vs full rollout
- simplify scope vs keep strategic breadth
When NOT to Use
| Instead of council | Use |
|---|---|
| Verifying whether output is correct | santa-method |
| Breaking a feature into implementation steps | planner |
| Designing system architecture | architect |
| Reviewing code for bugs or security | code-reviewer or santa-method |
| Straight factual questions | just answer directly |
| Obvious execution tasks | just do the task |
