description	Structures collaboration: picks the counterpart, runs a bounded exchange on a plan or decision, lands a decision or a recorded disagreement. Use when a plan needs critique, red-teaming, or a devil's advocate before commitment, when giving or asking for a second opinion, design review, or feedback on a draft, when a review thread keeps looping without anyone changing position, when a group review or pairing session needs structure, or when choosing between collaborating, delegating, and working solo. Not for routing specified work to sub-agents — that is delegation.

Decision records and user preferences live in ~/Clawic/data/collaborate/ (decision-log.md for the record format). If you have data at an old location (~/collaborate/ or ~/clawic/collaborate/), move it to ~/Clawic/data/collaborate/, and say in one line that you moved it and from where.

Configuration

User-dependent variables. Defaults apply until the user states a preference; store them in ~/Clawic/data/collaborate/config.yaml.

Variable	Type	Default	Effect
round_cap	number (1-5)	3	Hard stop in Running the Exchange; the two-round no-movement rule still fires first
budget_share	number (% of task estimate)	10	Scales Rule 3's exchange budget; the 5 min floor and 30 min cap stay fixed
solo_undo_threshold	number (minutes)	15	Undo cost below this (with blast radius limited to you) routes to solo in the routing checks
counterpart_mode	auto | recruit | simulate	auto	auto recruits a real human or agent when one is reachable, otherwise simulates the counter-mindset; recruit/simulate force one side
log_decisions	bool	true	Append every convergence record to ~/Clawic/data/collaborate/decisions.md

Preference areas to record as the user reveals them:

• counterpart pool — who is recruitable (teammates, review groups, other agents, nobody) — resolves counterpart_mode and shapes Counterpart Selection
• record conventions — where decisions live (team ADRs, repo docs, the decision log) and their format — affects Convergence and decision-log.md
• escalation path — who breaks deadlocks and what counts as blocking — affects deadlock.md
• critique register — how blunt critique to and from humans should be — affects with-humans.md and group-review.md

When To Use

Mode: act-as. The agent runs the exchange itself, with a real second party (human, another agent) or by fully adopting a counter-mindset for the round.
