Roundtable 🏛️ — 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, run optional cross-examination, and synthesize the final answer.

When to Use

Activate when the user says any of:

• /roundtable <question> or /council <question>
• /roundtable setup (interactive setup wizard)
• /roundtable config (show saved config)
• /roundtable help (command quick reference)
• "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.

Interactive Setup

When the user sends /roundtable setup, run a guided, conversational setup and ask ONE question at a time. Use Telegram-friendly option formatting with inline button style labels (A), B), C)). Do not ask all steps at once.

Step 1: Models

Ask exactly:

"🏛️ Let's set up your Roundtable! First, how do you want to configure models? A) 🎯 Single model for all agents (simple, cost-effective) B) 🔀 Different models per role (maximum diversity) C) 📦 Use a preset (cheap/balanced/premium/diverse)"

Branching:

• If user picks A → ask: which model to use for all roles.
• If user picks B → ask one-by-one for: Scholar model, Engineer model, Muse model.
• If user picks C → ask which preset: cheap, balanced, premium, or diverse.

Step 2: Round 2

Ask exactly:

"Do you want Round 2 cross-examination by default? (Agents challenge each other's findings — better quality but 2x cost) A) ✅ Yes, always (recommended for important decisions) B) ⚡ No, quick mode by default (faster, cheaper) C) 🤷 Ask me each time"

Interpretation:

• A → round2: true
• B → round2: false
• C → round2: "ask"

Step 3: Language

Ask exactly:

"What language should the council respond in? A) 🇬🇧 English B) 🇩🇪 Deutsch C) 🇪🇸 Español D) Other (specify)"
