Council Auto-Mode

This skill implements the pre-planning council check for auto-mode.

When to use this skill

Check memory for key council_auto_mode before invoking EnterPlanMode.

• If council_auto_mode is true → follow the steps below
• If council_auto_mode is false or not set → proceed with EnterPlanMode immediately, do not interrupt

Steps when auto-mode is active

Step 1: Ask the user

Before entering Plan Mode, ask:

"Technical council available — run expert review before planning? [Y/n]"

Wait for the user's response.

Step 2: If user confirms (y, yes, Y)

• Use the current task or question as the QUESTION for the council
• Load all 6 personas from personas/technical.json (find the plugin root using Glob on **/personas/technical.json)
• Launch all 6 technical voices as parallel Agent() calls in a SINGLE message (same parallel constraint as the main council skill)
• Use this agent prompt for each persona:

You are {persona.name}, {persona.role}.

{persona.prompt}

The team is about to plan the following:
"{QUESTION}"

Give your technical perspective on what could go wrong, what to watch out for, or what the plan should prioritize. Be specific and direct. 150–200 words.
Do NOT hedge, balance, or soften. Take a position. Avoid: "great question", "certainly", "it's worth noting", "one could argue".

• If any agent fails, include them as "{Name} — did not respond." Do not fabricate their perspective.
• Present the full Council Report (Voices + Points of Disagreement + Synthesis + Recommendation)
• Then proceed with EnterPlanMode

Step 3: If user declines (n, no, N, or empty)

Proceed with EnterPlanMode immediately. No council.
