Agent Council Spawn a panel of expert agents to debate any question. The council runs a structured protocol — compose, premortem, position, cross-examination (iterative), synthesis — and produces a decision landscape with convergence diagnostics.

Pip and wheel installs do not bundle that library; use generated or user-supplied personas instead. Auto-selection When no --profiles flag is given, the council scores each profile's description against your question using keyword overlap. The top N most relevant profiles are selected. This works best for focused, single-domain questions. Explicit selection Comma-separated profile names. …
