Consensus Voting Skill

Consensus Voting Skill - Implements voting protocols and conflict resolution algorithms for reaching consensus among multiple agents with potentially conflicting recommendations. - Collecting votes from multiple agents - Weighted voting based on expertise - Conflict detection and resolution - Quorum verification - Decision documentation

Step 1: Define Voting Parameters

Set up the voting session:

voting_session:
  topic: 'Which database to use for the new service'
  options:
    - PostgreSQL
    - MongoDB
    - DynamoDB
  quorum: 3 # Minimum votes required
  threshold: 0.6 # 60% agreement needed
  weights:
    database-architect: 2.0 # Expert gets 2x weight
    security-architect: 1.0
    devops: 1.5

Step 2: Collect Votes

Gather agent recommendations:

## Vote Collection

### database-architect (weight: 2.0)

- Vote: PostgreSQL
- Rationale: Strong ACID guarantees, mature ecosystem
- Confidence: 0.9

### security-architect (weight: 1.0)

- Vote: PostgreSQL
- Rationale: Better encryption at rest, audit logging
- Confidence: 0.8

### devops (weight: 1.5)

- Vote: DynamoDB
- Rationale: Managed service, auto-scaling
- Confidence: 0.7

Step 3: Calculate Consensus

Apply weighted voting:
