AgentParliament 🏛️

AgentParliament is a specialized AI agent skill that transforms generic AI coding assistants into a structured, debate-based decision making engine.

It models technical debates, architectural proposals, library choices, or codebase motions by simulating a parliament of 5 developer personas, voting on the motion, and producing a synthesized final resolution by the Speaker of the House.

This repository is designed as a pure prompt skill (similar to the catalog in msitarzewski/agency-agents). It requires no local servers, compilation, or external API keys to run. The AI assistant uses its native LLM context to execute the skill directly within your editor.

👥 The Parliament Personas

1. Optimist (🚀 The Visionary): Advocates for adoption, development velocity, developer happiness, and competitive advantage.
2. Pessimist (🛡️ The Risk Manager): Focuses on maintenance debt, hidden costs, complexity, security holes, and failure modes.
3. Engineer (⚙️ The Builder): Analyzes implementation overhead, tooling, local setup, debugging, and CI/CD.
4. Lawyer (⚖️ The Compliance Officer): Evaluates licenses, vendor lock-in, data privacy, and intellectual property risks.
5. User Advocate (👥 The Customer Voice): Reviews latency, UX simplicity, performance, stability, and customer friction.
6. Speaker of the House (🗣️ The Synthesizer): Consolidates arguments, tallies the votes, and drafts the final resolution and binding mitigations.

🧠 Installation and Usage

1. For Claude Code / Gemini Antigravity

The custom skill is defined in skills/agent-parliament/.

• Global Customizations: Copy the skills/agent-parliament folder into your global config directory:
  • ~/.gemini/config/skills/ (for Antigravity)
  • ~/.claudecode/config/skills/
• Workspace Customizations: Put it in .agents/skills/agent-parliament/ in your project workspace.
• Activation: Type /agent-parliament in the chat or ask the agent: "Use the agent-parliament skill to debate: Should we migrate our auth system to Auth0?"

2. For Cursor / Windsurf / VS Code Copilot

You can use it as a custom instruction or context rule:

• Create a .cursorrules or .github/copilot-instructions.md file in the root of your project.
• Copy the system prompt instructions from skills/agent-parliament/SKILL.md and paste it into the file.
• Activation: Prompt the assistant in the chat: "Convene the Agent Parliament on: Should we use Docker for local development?"

3. For ChatGPT / Claude Web Interface

• Copy the contents of skills/agent-parliament/SKILL.md and paste it as the system context or pre-prompt, then ask: "Convene the debate on: Should we rewrite our data layer in Rust?"
