Convene a council of agents — each with its own perspective — to deliberate, debate, and decide with you, inside a single conversation.
A solo assistant gives you one point of view. Real decisions get better when several informed perspectives argue it out: a strategist who cuts scope, an engineer who knows what it'll cost to build, a skeptic who pokes holes, a designer who thinks about the human on the other end. Round-Table makes that happen in one chat — and you can jump in any time.
- Diverse, grounded perspectives, not one averaged opinion. Each member is defined in its own file with a distinct lens and temperament — so they actually disagree, like a real team.
- Honest by design. A good council surfaces risks, costs and trade-offs, not just upsides.
- You're in the room. Interrupt, contradict, add a constraint — the council reacts to you.
- It converges. Every round ends with a synthesis: decision, open questions, next step.
What this is (and isn't). Round-Table is one model voicing several personas, each grounded in its definition file — not several separate live minds. That's perfect for fast, in-conversation deliberation. When you need genuinely independent analysis, the skill tells Claude to escalate to a real multi-agent fan-out (separate subagents) and synthesize.
Round-Table is just a Claude Code slash command plus a folder of agent definitions.
# 1. the command
mkdir -p ~/.claude/commands
cp commands/roundtable.md ~/.claude/commands/
# 2. your council members
mkdir -p ~/.claude/roundtable/agents
cp agents/*.md ~/.claude/roundtable/agents/Then in Claude Code:
/roundtable <your topic>
Each member is a markdown file in ~/.claude/roundtable/agents/. Copy _TEMPLATE.md and
give your member a lens (what it cares about), a temperament (how it speaks), the
risks it watches for, and optional guardrails and context to load.
Four starter members are included: 🧭 Strategist, 🛠️ Engineer, 🔍 Skeptic, 🎨 Designer. Add a Finance lens, a User Advocate, a Legal eye, a domain expert — whatever your decisions need. Point a member at your own docs/data in Context to load and its voice becomes grounded in your reality.
Tip: keep a council to 3–5 voices. More than that and the room gets loud.
Round-Table was born as “Olympe” — a little homemade council a café owner built with his Claude agents (each named after a Greek figure) to brainstorm decisions for his business. It worked so well he wanted to share it with the world. So here it is, generalized for anyone. Made with ☕ at La Brassée, Montréal — by Cédric & his agents.
