Use moderator strategies
By default, Council uses round-robin moderation — each expert speaks in turn. You can change this to get different dynamics.
Consensus-check
Section titled “Consensus-check”Experts work toward agreement:
council convene "Should we adopt Kubernetes?" --template architecture-review --strategy consensus-checkDevil’s advocate
Section titled “Devil’s advocate”One expert is assigned to challenge everything:
council convene "Should we ship the MVP?" --template code-review --strategy devils-advocatePin a specific expert as the contrarian:
council convene "Ship now or wait?" --template code-review --strategy devils-advocate:seniorStructured mode
Section titled “Structured mode”A choreographed 4-phase debate (opening statements → cross-examination → rebuttals → synthesis):

Section titled “Default behavior”Without a --strategy or --mode flag, Council uses round-robin — experts speak in sequence, each responding to the topic and prior turns.
