Consciousness Council (Multi-Perspective Deliberation)
Summons 3–6 of 12 distinct thinking archetypes to argue over your question, then synthesizes the tension into an actionable recommendation.
What it does
Give it a tough decision, dilemma, or open-ended question and Claude convenes a council of 3–6 archetypes drawn from 12 options: Architect, Contrarian, Empiricist, Ethicist, Futurist, Pragmatist, Historian, Empath, Outsider, Strategist, Minimalist, Creator — each with its own reasoning style and stated blind spot.
Three phases:
- Summon — pick members whose views will genuinely clash (preset combos for business, technical, personal, creative, ethical, and strategic questions).
- Deliberate — each member speaks in a fixed format:
Position / Reasoning / Key Risk They See / Surprising Insight, and must substantively disagree with at least one other member. - Synthesize — points of convergence, the core unresolved tension, the blind spot nobody raised, a recommended path, a confidence level, and one question to sit with.
Modes you can request: quick council, deep council, anonymous council (reduces anchoring), devil's advocate mode, rounds mode, or a fully custom member list.
Who it's for
- Anyone stuck circling a high-stakes choice with no obvious right answer.
- Strategy, product, and marketing folks stress-testing a plan before presenting it.
- Solo founders and freelancers with no team to argue against them.
- Engineers weighing architecture trade-offs.
Examples
- "Should I quit my stable corporate job to start a company?" → 5-member council (Pragmatist, Futurist, Empath, Contrarian, Strategist) plus a synthesis naming the real trade-off.
- "Monolith or microservices for this new service?" → Architect + Minimalist + Empiricist + Outsider to catch over-engineering.
- "Devil's advocate mode: argue against my plan to raise prices 20%."

Install the skill I found on AI Skill Mart. Copy the skills/consciousness-council folder from the GitHub repo K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/consciousness-council/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r scientific-agent-skills/skills/consciousness-council ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open Terminal (macOS/Linux) or Git Bash (Windows).
- Create the skills directory if needed:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills.git - Copy just this skill:
cp -r scientific-agent-skills/skills/consciousness-council ~/.claude/skills/ - Verify:
ls ~/.claude/skills/consciousness-council— you should see SKILL.md. - Restart Claude Code, then try: "council mode — help me think through this decision from all sides."
