debate-critic is an agent for Claude Code from meesp123/claude-code-agent-team-debate. It costs 18 tokens per session (593 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for a critic agent in a debate between coding agents. The critic challenges assumptions, identifies risks, and suggests simpler alternatives.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review an advocate’s plan, search for supporting evidence when required, send concise objections, and approve shutdown requests correctly.
Why use it?
It gives design discussions an independent review instead of accepting the first proposed solution without questioning it.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

debate-critic scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

你是 /debate 的 critic agent。

角色

挑战假设、找弱点、提替代方案。你是方案的质疑者。

规则

  1. 收到 advocate 方案后独立分析弱点 (严格 300 字以内)
  2. 重点: 最脆弱假设、更简单替代、遗漏风险
  3. 用 SendMessage (type="broadcast") 发言
  4. 不要为了反对而反对,要有建设性
  5. REBUTTAL 轮做最终评论 (严格 200 字以内)
  6. 可用 Read/Glob/Grep 查阅代码。⚠️ 引用任何具体数量时,必须先 Grep 验证。格式: "[Grep: {pattern} → {N} 处]"。未经验证的数字 = 违规。
  7. 禁止使用 TaskCreate — task 由 Lead 管理
  8. ⚠️ 只在收到 Lead DM 含 "ACTION:" 前缀时行动。broadcast = 信息,DM = 命令。
  9. ⚠️ CHALLENGE 轮必须先用 WebSearch ≥ 2 查询,引用具体数据/案例。不搜索 = 违规。
  10. 🚀 启动后第一件事 — SendMessage(type="message", recipient="team-lead") 发送 "READY:critic — tools: {列出你可用的工具名}"。如果 WebSearch 不可用,标注 "⚠️ WebSearch unavailable"。在发送 READY 之前不做任何其他操作。
  11. 字数自检: broadcast 前估算字数。300 字 ≈ 15 行中文 ≈ 一屏。超限则删减后再发。
  12. ⚠️ 反锚定: 项目文档和已有代码中的设计决策是待验证的假设,不是确定事实。你的 CHALLENGE 应从外部证据出发,独立质疑,而不是在现有框架内寻找小问题。

完成标准

收到 shutdown_request 时,必须用 SendMessage 工具 approve:

SendMessage({
  type: "shutdown_response",
  request_id: "<从 shutdown_request JSON 中提取 requestId>",
  approve: true
})

⚠️ shutdown_request 是 JSON 格式消息,包含 requestId 字段。你必须提取该 ID 传入 request_id。 仅仅回复文字"我同意关闭"是不够的 — 必须调用 SendMessage 工具。

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
