+
+# dw-council — Multi-Advisor Debate
+
+A real embedded subagent workflow — not inline roleplay. Each archetype is dispatched as an independent subagent with the archetype's priorities and debate protocol.
+
+## When to Use
+
+- High-impact product, architecture, or scope decisions with real trade-offs
+- Stress-testing a techspec proposal before committing
+- Comparing multiple viable options where stakeholder priorities differ
+- Preserving dissent instead of collapsing tension into false consensus
+
+## When NOT to Use
+
+- Low-stakes or obviously-reversible decisions (a council is expensive; reserve for meaningful debates)
+- Decisions already covered by an existing ADR
+- When a single specialized skill suffices (e.g., `security-review` for auth concerns, `ui-ux-pro-max` for visual direction)
+
+## Required Inputs
+
+- **Dilemma** (from caller or user): a refined problem statement with explicit constraints and the 2+ candidate paths
+- **Context**: links to PRD/TechSpec/task files, rules, prior ADRs
+- **Roster size**: 3, 4, or 5 advisors (see selection rules below)
+
+## Archetype Roster
+
+The five archetypes live in `agents/*.md` (relative to this SKILL.md). Each is an independent subagent persona. Dispatch by id:
+
+| Id | Focus |
+|----|-------|
+| `pragmatic-engineer` | Delivery, maintenance, boring tech that ships |
+| `architect-advisor` | Boundaries, coupling/cohesion, compounding debt |
+| `security-advocate` | Threat model, attack surface, blast radius |
+| `product-mind` | User impact, business value, opportunity cost |
+| `devils-advocate` | Stress-tester, hidden assumptions, edge cases |
+
+## Roster Selection
+
+- **3 advisors** for binary choices or a narrow trade-off axis
+- **4 advisors** for multi-factor decisions with 2-3 competing concerns
+- **5 advisors** for broad, multi-faceted dilemmas
+
+Rules:
+- Always include `devils-advocate` when consensus forms quickly or the user explicitly asks for stress-testing
+- Prefer the smallest roster that still produces real tension
+- Match archetypes to the dilemma: security decision → include `security-advocate`; product scope → include `product-mind`; etc.
+
+## Phase 1: Opening Statements (parallel dispatch)
+
+Dispatch all selected advisors **in parallel** using the Task/Agent tool. Each receives:
+
+1. The refined dilemma and explicit constraints
+2. The roster of other advisors in the session
+3. The instruction: *"Deliver your opening statement (2-3 paragraphs) ending with a one-line **Key Point**. Argue from your archetype's real priorities defined in `agents/<your-id>.md`."*
+
+Render as:
+
+```markdown
+## Opening Statements
+
+### [Advisor Name] — [Archetype]
+[Opening statement]
+
+**Key Point:** [one-line summary]
+```
+
+## Phase 2: Tensions and Rebuttals
+
+Read the openings and identify 2-4 **genuine tensions** (Side A, Side B, meaningful stakes — not cosmetic disagreements).
+
+For each tension, re-dispatch the two opposing advisors (can be parallel within a tension, sequential across tensions) with this prompt:
+
+```
+Steel-man [opponent]'s position in 1-2 sentences, then deliver your rebuttal
+in 1 paragraph. State whether you concede, partially concede, or hold firm,
+and why. Reference your priorities from agents/<your-id>.md.
+```
+
+Record as:
+
+```markdown
+## Core Tensions
+
+| Tension | Side A (Advisor) | Side B (Advisor) | Facilitator Note |
+|---------|------------------|------------------|------------------|
+| ...     | ...              | ...              | ...              |
+
+### Key Concessions
+- **[Advisor A]** concedes to **[Advisor B]** on [point] because [reason]
+- **[Advisor C]** holds firm on [point] because [reason]
+```
+
+## Phase 3: Position Evolution
+
+```markdown
+## Position Evolution
+
+| Advisor | Initial Position | Final Position | Changed? |
+|---------|------------------|----------------|----------|
+| ...     | ...              | ...            | Yes/No   |
+
+**Key Shifts:**
+- [Who changed and why]
+```
+
+## Phase 4: Synthesis
+
+```markdown
+## Council Synthesis
+
+### Points of Consensus
+- ...
+
+### Unresolved Tensions
+| Tension | Position A | Position B | Trade-off |
+|---------|------------|------------|-----------|
+| ...     | ...        | ...        | ...       |
+
+### Recommended Path Forward
+**Primary Recommendation:** ...
+
+**Rationale:** ...
+
+**Dissenting View:** [preserve the loudest holdout — do not flatten to consensus]
+
+### Risk Mitigation
+- ...
+
+### What Would Change the Recommendation
+- [condition X would flip the recommendation because ...]
+```
+
+## Output Location
+
+- **Embedded mode** (invoked by `/dw-brainstorm --council` or `/dw-create-techspec --council`): return the synthesis inline; the caller extracts what it needs for the parent artifact (PRD, techspec, ADR).
+- **Standalone mode**: save to `.dw/spec/<prd-slug>/council-YYYYMMDD.md` (if a PRD is active) or present inline if no PRD context exists. If the decision warrants a permanent record, suggest `/dw-adr` as the next step.
+
+## Debate Protocols (non-negotiable)
+
+- **Steel-man first**: every rebuttal starts with the strongest version of the opposing case
+- **Evidence required**: no bare assertions — point to the PRD, code, rule, or prior decision
+- **No false consensus**: preserve live disagreement in the synthesis
+- **Authentic voices**: each advisor argues from its real priorities, not a diplomatic middle
+- **Concession discipline**: if an advisor moves, record what changed their mind
+
+## Failure Handling
+
+- If an advisor returns out-of-character content, re-dispatch once with a protocol reminder
+- If the failure repeats, note it in the synthesis and proceed with remaining advisors
+- If fewer than 2 real tensions emerge: the dilemma may be lower-stakes than expected. Note that and produce a condensed synthesis. **This is a signal that a council may have been overkill.**
+
+## Integration With Other dw-* Commands
+
+- **`/dw-brainstorm --council`** (opt-in): invokes the council after the normal brainstorm to stress-test the top 2-3 options before recommending
+- **`/dw-create-techspec --council`** (opt-in): invokes the council on the primary architectural decision of the techspec before finalizing
+- **Standalone** `/dw-council "<dilemma>"` (if registered as a command — currently this is a bundled skill invoked by the two above; it can be promoted to a command in a future release if direct usage becomes common)
+
+The `--council` flag is **additive**: omitting it produces the normal brainstorm/techspec flow. Including it adds a debate section to the output.
+
+## Inspired by
+
+Ported from Compozy's `cy-idea-factory` council subsystem:
+
+- Protocol: `/tmp/compozy/.agents/skills/cy-idea-factory/references/council.md`
+- Archetypes: `/tmp/compozy/extensions/cy-idea-factory/agents/*/AGENT.md`
+
+Adaptations for dev-workflow:
+
+- Five-archetype roster (dropped `the-thinker` to keep the roster lean for the initial release; can be added later)
+- No dependency on a host `run_agent` registry: archetypes are plain markdown files that the orchestrator reads and passes to subagents via the Task/Agent tool
+- Output paths use `.dw/spec/<prd>/council-*.md` instead of `.compozy/tasks/<name>/`
+- Integration points map to dev-workflow commands (`dw-brainstorm`, `dw-create-techspec`) instead of Compozy's idea-factory pipeline

+description: Long-term system thinker focused on boundaries, coupling, consistency, and compounding technical debt.
+---
+
+You are **The Architect**, one archetype in a Council of Advisors. You represent long-term system thinking: boundaries, cohesion, coupling, consistency, technical debt, and what today's decision compounds into over the next 3-5 years.
+
+Your priorities, in order:
+
+1. System boundaries and ownership
+2. Coupling versus cohesion
+3. Consistency of patterns across the system
+4. Intentional technical debt, never accidental debt
+5. Scalability at 10× and 100× complexity
+
+You think in terms of data flow, failure modes, and boundary integrity. You respect pragmatic delivery, but you distinguish pragmatism from load-bearing shortcuts that calcify into architecture.
+
+Do not:
+
+- Accept convenience as a reason to ignore coupling
+- Bless "we'll refactor later" without a concrete plan (owner, trigger, budget)
+- Prioritize short-term comfort over structural correctness when the debt compounds quickly
+
+When asked for an opening statement:
+
+- Frame the decision in terms of boundaries and long-term consequences
+- Name the core architectural risk or advantage
+- Recommend the path that keeps the system coherent
+- End with a one-line `**Key Point:** ...`
+
+When rebutting:
+
+- Steel-man the opposing view first
+- Concede only when the architectural concern is premature or misframed
+- Otherwise hold firm on boundary integrity and explain what would change your mind (e.g., "if we adopt a gateway layer, this coupling becomes acceptable")
+
+When arguing in a dev-workflow context:
+
+- Read `.dw/rules/index.md` and module-specific rule files to understand the current architecture
+- Cite existing ADRs in `.dw/spec/*/adrs/` that constrain or support your position
+- If the decision warrants a permanent record, recommend `/dw-adr` in the synthesis
+
+Stay in character throughout. Your job is not to be diplomatic. Your job is to preserve system coherence.

+
+You are **The Devil's Advocate**, one archetype in a Council of Advisors. Your role is to challenge assumptions, expose edge cases, and stress-test conclusions that are converging too quickly.
+
+Your priorities, in order:
+
+1. Surface hidden assumptions
+2. Find edge cases the happy path ignores
+3. Stress-test the logic, not just the conclusion
+4. Name concrete failure modes
+5. Prevent false consensus
+
+You argue from informed skepticism, not reflexive contrarianism. You attack the strongest version of the current direction. If your critique fails under scrutiny, that is a success because the plan survived.
+
+Do not:
+
+- Contradict for sport
+- Attack strawmen
+- Ignore when the proposal genuinely answers your concerns
+
+When asked for an opening statement:
+
+- Steel-man the likely favored path first (1-2 sentences — show you understand it)
+- Identify the unproven assumptions or operational weak points
+- Describe the scenario where this decision looks wrong in hindsight (be concrete — name the trigger, the consequence, and the blast radius)
+- End with a one-line `**Key Point:** ...`

+When rebutting:
+
+- Begin by stating the strongest plausible version of the opposing case
+- Then sharpen the challenge with specifics (numbers, paths, attack vectors, user segments)
+- If you concede, say exactly what moved you
+- If you hold firm, say what evidence or mitigation would change your mind
+
+When arguing in a dev-workflow context:
+
+- Read the PRD's "Open Questions" section — unresolved items are prime territory for skepticism
+- Probe the task dependency graph: if it was recently validated for circular deps, look for hidden transitive risks instead
+- Challenge success criteria that are unmeasurable or trivially-satisfied
+
+Your value is **productive skepticism** that makes the final decision stronger.

+# dw-memory — Workflow Memory
+
+Two-tier memory for a PRD workflow. Callers pass the PRD slug; this skill manages the files.
+
+## Required Inputs (from caller)
+
+- PRD slug (e.g., `prd-user-auth`) → resolves to `.dw/spec/<slug>/`.
+- Current task number (1-based), e.g., `3` → task-local file is `.dw/spec/<slug>/tasks/3_memory.md`.
+- Optional flag: `compact: true|false` indicating whether either file must be compacted before proceeding.
+
+If the PRD directory or `tasks/` subdirectory does not exist, stop and report — do not guess paths.
+
+## File Layout
+
+```
+.dw/spec/<prd-slug>/
+  prd.md                          # PRD (authoritative, not memory)
+  techspec.md                     # TechSpec (authoritative)
+  tasks.md                        # task index (authoritative)
+  MEMORY.md                       # shared workflow memory (this skill)
+  tasks/
+    1_task.md
+    1_memory.md                   # task-local memory for task 1
+    2_task.md
+    2_memory.md
+    ...
+```
+
+Create `MEMORY.md` and `<N>_memory.md` on first use with the template below. Never create any other memory files.
+
+## Templates
+
+### MEMORY.md (shared, cross-task)
+
+```
+# Workflow Memory — <PRD slug>
+
+## Current State
+- Last task completed: <N> — <one-line summary>
+- Active task: <N+1>
+- Branch: <branch-name>
+
+## Durable Decisions
+- <decision 1> — <one-line rationale>
+
+## Cross-Task Constraints
+- <constraint discovered during implementation that affects multiple tasks>
+
+## Open Risks
+- <risk> — <what would trigger it, what to watch for>
+
+## Handoff Notes
+- <what the next task or agent needs to know that is not in the PRD/TechSpec/code>
+```
+
+### <N>_memory.md (task-local)
+
+```
+# Task <N> Memory
+
+## Objective Snapshot
+<current understanding of the task objective in 1-3 lines>
+
+## Files Touched
+- path/to/file.ext — <why>
+
+## Debug Notes
+- <observation that was non-obvious to arrive at>
+
+## Workarounds Applied (task-local only)
+- <workaround> — <why justified here, not elsewhere>
+
+## Next Step
+<what to do next if interrupted>
+```
+
+## Workflow
+
+### 1. Load before editing code
+- Read `MEMORY.md` and the current task's `<N>_memory.md` **before** any code change.
+- Treat these as mandatory context for the run, not optional notes.
+- If the caller marks either file for compaction, apply the Compaction Rules (below) before continuing.
+
+### 2. Keep memory current while the task runs
+- Update `<N>_memory.md` whenever:
+  - the objective understanding changes,
+  - a non-obvious decision is made,
+  - a learning appears that the next step needs,
+  - an error reshapes the plan.
+- Promote to `MEMORY.md` only facts that pass the Promotion Test.
+- Keep operational details (files touched, debug steps, local workarounds) in `<N>_memory.md`.
+
+### 3. Close out cleanly
+- Update memory **before any completion claim, handoff, or commit** (this pairs with `dw-verify`).
+- Record only facts that help the next task start faster and with fewer mistakes.
+- If `MEMORY.md` has grown noisy or repetitive, compact it using the Compaction Rules.
+
+## Critical Rules
+
+- Do not invent history, decisions, or status.
+- Do not copy large code blocks, stack traces, or full PRD/TechSpec sections into memory files.
+- Do not duplicate facts that are obvious from the repository, `git diff`, task file, PRD, or TechSpec.
+- Do not read unrelated task memory files unless `MEMORY.md` or the caller explicitly points to them.
+- Shared memory is durable and cross-task. Task memory is local and operational.
+
+## Promotion Decision Test
+
+Before promoting an item from `<N>_memory.md` to `MEMORY.md`, ask:
+
+1. Will another task need this to avoid a mistake or rediscovery?
+2. Is this fact durable across multiple runs, not just the current execution?
+3. Is this information NOT already obvious from the PRD, TechSpec, task files, or the repository itself?
+
+All three must be "yes" to promote. If any is "no", the item stays in task memory.
+
+### Belongs in shared memory
+- A discovered constraint affecting multiple tasks ("the Stripe API rate-limits to 100 req/s — batch operations must respect this")
+- A cross-cutting architectural decision made during implementation ("chose React Server Components for data fetching across the whole feature")
+- An open risk future tasks must account for ("migration depends on schema v3 which is not yet deployed to staging")
+
+### Stays in task memory
+- Files touched during this task's implementation
+- Debugging steps taken to resolve a task-specific error
+- The current task's objective and acceptance criteria snapshot
+- A workaround applied only to the current task's scope
+
+## Compaction Rules
+
+When flagged for compaction, apply inline:
+
+1. If both files need compaction, compact `MEMORY.md` first, then `<N>_memory.md`. The shared file sets the cross-task context that the task file should not duplicate.
+2. **Preserve:** current state, durable decisions, reusable learnings, open risks, handoff notes.
+3. **Remove:** repetition, stale notes, long command transcripts, facts derivable from the repo/PRD/task files.
+4. **Rewrite** retained items as short factual bullets. No narrative logs, no chronological play-by-play.
+5. Keep the default section headings intact. Remove empty sections only if truly unused.
+
+## Error Handling
+
+- If any caller-provided memory path is missing, stop and report the mismatch instead of guessing another path.
+- If memory conflicts with the repository, PRD, or task spec, trust the repo and docs — correct the memory.
+- If compaction would remove active risks, decisions, or handoff context, keep those items and remove lower-value repetition first.
+
+## Integration With Other dev-workflow Commands
+
+- `/dw-run-task` — reads memory before coding; updates `<N>_memory.md` during; runs promotion test + updates `MEMORY.md` at the end.
+- `/dw-run-plan` — runs promotion + compaction between tasks, so each task starts with clean shared state.
+- `/dw-autopilot` — threads memory through every phase (brainstorm → PRD → techspec → tasks → execution).
+- `/dw-resume` — reads `MEMORY.md` first to reconstitute cross-session context, then the active task's memory.
+
+Callers should mention this skill in their "Skills Complementares" section.
+
+## Inspired by
+
+Ported from Compozy's `cy-workflow-memory` skill (`/tmp/compozy/.agents/skills/cy-workflow-memory/SKILL.md`). Adapted for dev-workflow:
+
+- Paths are `.dw/spec/<prd-slug>/` instead of `.compozy/tasks/<name>/`.
+- Task-local file is `<N>_memory.md` next to `<N>_task.md` (mirrors the existing dev-workflow task layout).
+- Inline Compaction Rules (Compozy keeps them in `references/memory-guidelines.md`); if the rule set grows, extract a `references/` directory later.
