consciousness-council

Run a multi-perspective Mind Council deliberation on any question, decision, or creative challenge. Use this skill whenever the user wants diverse viewpoints, needs help making a tough decision, asks for a council/panel/board discussion, wants to explore a problem from multiple angles, requests devil's advocate analysis, or says things like "what would different experts think about this", "help me think through this from all sides", "council mode", "mind council", or "deliberate on this". Also trigger when the user faces a dilemma, trade-off, or complex choice with no obvious answer.

Quality

Content

63%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A well-structured, actionable instruction skill with clear phase sequencing and useful output templates. The main gaps are conceptual padding in the motivation sections and a missing pointer to the bundled advanced-configurations reference.

Suggestions

Trim or remove the 'Why This Exists' section and the opening motivational paragraph; the 'How It Works' content already conveys the skill's purpose to Claude.

Add an explicit pointer in the 'Council Configurations' section, e.g. 'See references/advanced-configurations.md for domain-specific councils, custom archetypes, multi-round mode, and deliberation scoring.'

Expand the single example to show one full member block and the resulting synthesis so the output format is unambiguous.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Mostly efficient (the archetype table, phase templates, and selection heuristics earn their tokens), but the "Why This Exists" section and opening motivational prose ("Single-perspective thinking has a ceiling...") explain concepts and rationale Claude does not need to execute the skill.	3 / 5
Actionability	Provides concrete, copy-paste-ready output templates (the 🎭 member block and ⚖️ synthesis block) plus specific archetype-selection heuristics mapped to question types; held back from 5 because the single example only states the question without demonstrating the full formatted output.	4 / 5
Workflow Clarity	The three phases (Summon → Deliberation → Synthesis) are clearly sequenced, and the rule "If everyone agrees, the Council has failed — go back and sharpen the tensions" acts as an explicit validation/feedback checkpoint, though error-recovery detail is light.	4 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	The body has clear section structure and the advanced material is correctly split into references/advanced-configurations.md, but the body never links to or signals that file, so a reader would not know the advanced configurations, custom archetypes, scoring formula, and silent/rounds modes exist beyond the brief inline mentions.	3 / 5

Description

86%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong description with excellent, natural trigger-term coverage and an explicit what-plus-when structure. Its only weakness is that the capability side rests on a single core action rather than a comprehensive list.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Names the domain ("any question, decision, or creative challenge") and one concrete action ("Run a multi-perspective Mind Council deliberation"), but does not enumerate multiple specific capabilities, so it is not comprehensive.	3 / 5
Completeness	Explicitly answers both what ("Run a multi-perspective Mind Council deliberation") and when ("Use this skill whenever...", "Also trigger when..."), with concrete trigger phrases throughout.	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Comprehensive natural-language triggers including synonyms and quoted user phrases such as "council mode", "mind council", "deliberate on this", "what would different experts think about this", and "devil's advocate analysis".	5 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	The council/deliberation framing and distinctive terms ("mind council", "council mode") carve a clear niche, though broader phrases like "diverse viewpoints" and "think through this from all sides" risk minor overlap with general advisory skills.	4 / 5
