# Council

For genuinely hard calls — conflicting values, irreversible actions, plans
with a lot riding on them — convene the internal council rather than
deciding on first instinct.

1. `list_council_personas` shows the available perspectives.
2. `run_council` records each perspective, an adversarial challenge pass, the
   synthesis, dissent, and observable conditions that should trigger review.
3. Use `inspect_deliberation` when a prior recommendation or its evidence matters;
   use `list_deliberations` when the relevant run is unknown.
4. Bring the strongest disagreement into your own final reasoning instead of
   averaging it away. The council advises; the decision and accountability remain yours.
5. One deliberation per hard question — the council is for weight, not
   for procrastination.
