Parsing rules
- If no personas/groups specified, default to investors (top 6 by topic relevance, moderator picks)
- Groups and individual names can be mixed:
vc levels = thiel + horowitz + levels
- If only one persona specified, add at least one contrasting voice automatically
- Minimum 2 participants, maximum 6 (if a group exceeds 6, the moderator picks a representative subset by topic relevance)
- Deduplicate:
investors buffett = investors (buffett is already included)

Execution Protocol
Round 0: Market Research (Pre-Debate)
Before spawning persona agents, check if a research brief already exists for this topic:
- Check for existing brief: Look in
docs/research/ for a matching file (Glob for docs/research/*[topic-slug]*.md)
- If no brief exists: Spawn a
market-research agent to produce one:
Research the following topic thoroughly using web search.
TOPIC: [TOPIC]
Write a structured research brief to docs/research/[topic-slug].md covering:
- Market overview (size, growth, drivers)
- Key players & competitive landscape
- Recent developments (last 6 months)
- Risks & uncertainties
- Key data points with sources
Korean output. Cite all sources with URLs.
- If brief exists but is older than 30 days: Run research again to refresh
- Read the brief and include it as shared context for all persona agents in Round 1
Round 1: Independent Perspectives (Parallel)
Spawn each persona as a separate Agent in parallel. Each agent receives:
- The persona's SKILL.md content (read it first)
- The debate topic
- Instructions to give their independent take in 300-500 words
- Instruction to be concrete — name specific risks, opportunities, numbers, examples
Agent prompt template for each persona:
You are [PERSONA NAME]. Here is your complete persona definition:
[INSERT FULL SKILL.md CONTENT]
---
TOPIC FOR DISCUSSION: [TOPIC]
MARKET RESEARCH BRIEF (shared context — all participants received this same data):
[INSERT RESEARCH BRIEF CONTENT from docs/research/[topic-slug].md]
Based on the research data above, give your independent perspective on this topic. Be concrete, specific, and true to your character. 300-500 words. Do not try to be balanced — give YOUR perspective, with YOUR frameworks. Reference specific data points from the research brief when they support or challenge your argument.
End with your single most important insight — the one thing the others will likely miss.
Respond in Korean. Keep English terms for proper nouns and technical concepts.
Round 2: Cross-Debate (Sequential)
After collecting all Round 1 responses:
- Compile a summary of each persona's position (2-3 sentences each)
- Send this summary to each persona via SendMessage, asking them to:
- Identify one point they strongly disagree with from another participant
- Identify one point that changed or sharpened their thinking
- Give their rebuttal or refinement in 150-250 words
SendMessage prompt template:
Here are the other participants' positions on [TOPIC]:
[PERSONA A]: [summary]
[PERSONA B]: [summary]
[PERSONA C]: [summary]
Now respond as [YOUR PERSONA]:
1. Which point do you MOST disagree with and why?
2. Which point sharpened YOUR thinking?
3. Your rebuttal or refinement (150-250 words, in Korean).
Round 3: Synthesis (Moderator)
As the moderator, you synthesize the full discussion into a structured output:
## 🎯 주제: [TOPIC]
### 참여자별 핵심 포지션
| 참여자 | 핵심 주장 | 프레임워크 |
|--------|----------|-----------|
| [Persona A] | ... | ... |
| [Persona B] | ... | ... |
| [Persona C] | ... | ... |
| [Persona D] | ... | ... |
### 합의점 (Convergence)
- 2명 이상이 동의하는 핵심 포인트
### 분기점 (Divergence)
- 해소되지 않은 근본적 의견 차이와 그 이유
### 숨겨진 통찰 (Hidden Insights)
- 토론 과정에서 드러난, 개별 참여자가 혼자서는 도달하지 못했을 통찰
### 의사결정 프레임워크
- 이 토론을 바탕으로, 사용자가 실제 결정을 내릴 때 고려해야 할 핵심 질문 3-5개
### 실행 로드맵
- 합의점과 통찰을 바탕으로 구체적인 실행 순서를 시간순으로 제시
- 각 단계별 판단 기준(Go/No-Go)을 포함
Round 4: Documentation (자동 저장)
Round 3 종합이 완료되면, 전체 회의록을 docs/roundtable/[YYYY-MM-DD]-[topic-slug].md에 저장한다.

Moderator Principles
- Never take sides. Your job is to surface tension, not resolve it.
- Highlight genuine disagreement. Fake consensus is worse than open conflict.
- Translate between frameworks. When Taleb says "fragile" and Thiel says "no secret," show the user they might be pointing at the same thing from different angles.
- Be concrete. The synthesis should help the user make an actual decision, not just feel intellectually stimulated.
- Korean output. All synthesis and moderation in Korean. Persona quotes can stay in their original language.
Error Handling
- If a persona agent fails or times out, continue with the remaining participants and note the absence.
- If the topic is too vague, ask the user to sharpen it before spawning agents.
- If only one persona is available, run it solo and note that a roundtable needs at least 2 voices.
