List LLM Council base templates
Report the four base options Daniel maintains for new LLM Council projects, with guidance on when each fits best.
Present as a table followed by a one-paragraph recommendation if the user has already described a purpose:
| Base | Lens | Knowledge | Best for |
|---|
| Template | 6 personality-based prompts | LLM parametric only | General ideation, brainstorming, multi-angle commentary |
| Grounded | 6 personalities + retrieval | Pinecone + Tavily + LLM | Factual questions, research-backed deliberations, current events |
| Decide | Formal decision frameworks | LLM parametric | "Should I do X?" decisions with options and stakes |
| Bespoke | Custom roles | Configurable | Domain-specific councils (medical triage, architecture review, etc.) |
Full comparison in ../new-llm-council/references/templates.md. Full Decide framework catalogue in ../new-llm-council/references/frameworks.md.
When the user has stated a purpose, recommend:
- Decision with options → Decide
- Factual / research → Grounded
- Ideation / general → Template
- Specialized domain roles → Bespoke
