Agora 🏛️ — Multi-Agent Debate Council

Spawn 3 specialized sub-agents in parallel to tackle complex problems. You (the main agent) act as Captain/Coordinator — decompose the task, dispatch to specialists, synthesize the final answer.

When to Use

Activate when the user says any of:

• /agora <question> or /council <question>
• "ask the council", "multi-agent", "get multiple perspectives"
• Or when facing complex, multi-faceted problems that benefit from diverse expertise

DO NOT use for: Simple questions, quick lookups, casual chat.
