Get a structured second opinion from senate (multi-model CLI consultant) on judgment calls — architecture decisions, plan critiques, security reviews, "should I X or Y" questions. Use when the agent is about to commit to an approach on a non-trivial decision and a sanity check from other models would reduce risk. Also use when explicitly asked to "consult senate", "get a second opinion", "what would senate say", or "ask the bench". Invokes the local `senate` CLI which runs claude + gemini in parallel and synthesizes a CONSENSUS / DISAGREEMENTS / OUTLIERS / RECOMMENDATION report.
