ab-stack

A productivity toolkit for AI coding agents -- skills and plugins.

Instead of asking one AI for advice, convene a board of directors, investment committee, code review panel, or research council — each member genuinely independent, each bringing a distinct evaluation lens, each forced to give one specific actionable suggestion. Then a judge synthesizes the decision with all arguments anonymized.

What's Inside

Component	Type	What it does
/council	Skill	Multi-persona deliberation with anonymized judging
todoist-sync	Plugin	Automatic Todoist task tracking at session boundaries

/council — Multi-Persona Deliberation

/council finance "Should I buy NVDA at current levels?"
/council code                    # reviews your recent changes
/council planning                # challenges the current plan
/council --deep "Should we pivot to B2B?"

The ONE-IDEA Rule

The core principle. Each persona delivers one specific, actionable suggestion — not a list, not a ramble, not hedged advice.

BAD (generic, hedging):
"There are several security concerns to consider. You might want to
 look at input validation, and it could be worth checking the auth
 flow. Also, error messages might leak information."
