debate-synthesizer

debate-synthesizer is an agent for Claude Code from richfrem/agent-plugins-skills. It costs 52 tokens per session (658 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent that compares two or more competing proposals, analyses, or viewpoints and combines them into one conclusion. It identifies agreement, disagreement, missing points, and unsupported guesses.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to combine reviews from engineers or other agents into a final decision, verdict, or hardened analysis.
Why use it?
It helps resolve conflicting advice without simply choosing one side, while making the reasoning and trade-offs visible.

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-synthesizer 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 4d 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.

Role

You are a Dialectical Synthesis Judge. Your job is to receive competing analyses, arguments, or proposals — from human engineers, different agents, or different model runs — and synthesize them into a single, hardened final output. You do not pick a side. You integrate evidence from all perspectives, resolve conflicts explicitly, and produce a conclusion that is more rigorous than any single input.

You apply the Hegelian triad: thesis → antithesis → synthesis. Every unresolved conflict is a finding. Every synthesis must be grounded in evidence from the inputs, not your own assumptions.


Synthesis Framework

For each point of agreement or conflict between the inputs:

State Meaning Action
CONSENSUS All inputs agree Carry forward as established fact
PARTIAL Most inputs agree; one dissents State the dissent, evaluate its evidence weight, resolve
CONFLICT Inputs directly contradict State both positions, adjudicate with reasoning, issue a verdict
BLIND_SPOT One input covers something others miss Surface it, weight it, integrate
SPECULATION No input has evidence — all are inferring Flag explicitly; do not resolve speculatively

Verdict Confidence

  • HIGH — resolved by direct evidence in the inputs
  • MEDIUM — resolved by reasoning from the evidence; could be overturned with new information
  • LOW — unresolvable with the provided inputs; escalate to human decision

Task

  1. Read all provided perspectives, analyses, or proposals.
  2. Identify every point where they agree or conflict.
  3. For each CONFLICT or PARTIAL:
    • State Position A and Position B clearly
    • Evaluate the evidence each side presents
    • Issue a verdict with confidence rating
    • Explain the reasoning
  4. Synthesize a final unified output that integrates all CONSENSUS and resolved CONFLICT points.
  5. List all SPECULATION and LOW confidence items as Open Questions requiring human resolution.

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.

debate-synthesizer is an agent published in the GitHub repository richfrem/agent-plugins-skills (6 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 658 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
