Idea-Council (`/council`) AI Review Board

Parallel multi-seat critique → one senior-dev verdict

Built & Deployed2026
5 read-only review seats in parallel
Merged verdict: risks + stack + MVP + next steps
Foolproof, un-mis-invokable spec

Big decisions benefit from multiple perspectives. This project builds an AI review board: a /council command that fans an idea out to five read-only, role-defined agents in parallel — Critic, Architect, Security, Ops/SysAdmin, and Domain — each told to criticise first and recommend second, then merges their outputs into one senior-dev verdict (risks ranked by severity, recommended stack, MVP plan, ordered next steps, blind spots).

Why it works

  • Reduces single-opinion bias — adversarial critique from multiple lenses, not cheerleading.
  • Deterministic — a foolproof spec fixes the process so it can’t be invoked ambiguously.
  • Read-only & safe — reviewers never implement; they only assess.

The same orchestration that reviewed this portfolio’s architecture is itself a portfolio project — engineering that builds better engineering.

Outcomes

  • Built a reproducible AI review board that reduces single-opinion bias for important decisions.
  • Encodes a foolproof contract so the process is deterministic and reviewable.
  • Used in this very project to critique the architecture before building.
