Consilium

Overview

Consilium assembles a panel of Datarim agents for multi-perspective analysis. Instead of relying on a single viewpoint, the system simulates specialized roles — architect, security analyst, SRE, strategist — to surface conflicts, blind spots, and tradeoffs before committing to a path. It is reserved for Level 3-4 tasks or decisions with blast radius 3-4.

Pipeline

The discussion follows six stages: Scope (define the question and blast radius), Assemble (select 3-7 agents from preset or custom panels), Analyze (each agent evaluates independently), Debate (surface conflicts, max 2 rounds), Converge (resolve via the Priority Ladder), and Deliver (recommendation with failure mode table).

Priority Ladder

1. Safety — will anyone get hurt?
2. Correctness — does it produce the right result?
3. Security — is it protected against threats?
4. Reliability — will it stay up under load?
5. Simplicity — can the team maintain it?
6. Cost — is it affordable?
7. Elegance — is it beautiful?

When two agents conflict, the one whose concern ranks higher wins. At the same level, prefer the simpler, more reversible option.

Key Rules

• Minimum 3, maximum 7 agents per panel
• Always include at least one agent who will challenge the majority
• Each agent speaks once per round, max 2 rounds of debate
• If unanimous after analysis — skip debate, proceed to deliver
• Unresolved conflicts after 2 rounds are escalated to the human

Preset Panels

Architecture decisions use architect + strategist + security + SRE + devops. Code design uses developer + reviewer + code-simplifier. Production readiness uses SRE + devops + security. New features use strategist + architect + developer + writer.
