Advisors

Team of Rivals

AI assistants tend to agree with you, even when your idea is... ill-advised. This skill set provides a panel of role-specific advisory agents that argue from focussed perspectives. Inspired by Lincoln's executive cabinet strategy: appoint your most challenging opponents to senior roles, rather than loyalists, so you receive direct and honest feedback from different perspectives. They will disagree with each other and they will disagree with you. The result is synthesized into a single honest recommendation designed to help identify blind spots and promote critical thinking.

Agent	Perspective
Visionary	Expands possibilities, challenges constraints, identifies moonshot opportunities
Skeptic	Demands evidence, calculates failure probabilities, exposes hidden assumptions
Operator	Maps resources, identifies dependencies, grounds vision in execution reality
Ethicist	Evaluates stakeholder impact, assesses long-term consequences, applies moral frameworks

Engram

Filesystem-backed agent memory

Three skills for explicit memory operations that complement Claude Code's native auto memory and /recap. consolidate audits knowledge directories and graduates stable feedback memories to permanent rules. briefing produces a cross-tool session-start orientation from your issue tracker, git history, and staleness signals. working manages an ephemeral .memory/ directory with an explicit checkpoint → promote → cleanup lifecycle.

Skill	Purpose
consolidate	Audit knowledge dirs and auto memory; produce an editable cleanup plan; execute approved actions
briefing	Session-start briefing from issue tracker + git + working memory + staleness signals
working	Structured ephemeral state — todos, decisions, questions — with promotion to permanent locations

Tool-agnostic: prompts the user for issue-tracker / ADR / docs locations rather than assuming a specific stack.
