war-room

war-room is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from frankaging/lite-research-agents. It costs 40 tokens per session (2,050 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured multi-agent research process in which different personas discuss an idea and then write a proposal. It uses two phases: idea discussion followed by proposal drafting.

In plain words
What is it for?
Run feasibility checks, develop research ideas, compare viewpoints, and produce an idea snapshot or proposal draft using configured participants.
Why use it?
It gives research planning a fixed discussion format, records the result, and uses explicit agreement or objection tags to track consensus.

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

war-room 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (monitor.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

War Room Skill

A war room runs personas through a structured two-phase session:

  1. Phase 1 — Ideation (5 rounds max): personas debate the research idea question by question. Ends early on consensus (all [AGREE] or [PASS], no [OBJECT]) or two consecutive all-[PASS] rounds. Output: memory/war-room/idea-snapshot.md

  2. Phase 2 — Proposal (5 rounds max): personas collaboratively draft each proposal section. Output: memory/war-room/proposal-draft.md


Configurations

Defined in skills/war-room/personas/agents.json under the configurations key.

Name Participants Use when
full Creative, Senior Prof, Young Faculty, Industry Liaison Deep ideation, novel directions, full proposal needed
1on1 Senior Professor, Young Faculty Quick feasibility check, tight scope

The configuration is specified in PROJECT.md frontmatter under war_room.configuration. Default: full.


Consensus Protocol

Every persona response must end with one of:

Tag Meaning
[AGREE] I accept the current position
[PASS] No strong view either way
[OBJECT: reason] I reject — give specific reason

Do not embed tags mid-response. They must be the final line.


Single-Agent Fallback (Codex / no subagent spawning)

If you cannot spawn subagents, run the same loop inline. For each persona turn:

  1. Print a clear header: --- [Round N] <Persona Name> ---
  2. Adopt that persona fully for your response — voice, stance, debate style, red lines.
  3. End with the consensus tag ([AGREE], [PASS], or [OBJECT: reason]).
  4. Return to moderator role between turns to write the log entry and check consensus.

Drift detection still applies: before each turn, re-read the persona definition and note whether your previous response for that persona drifted from their stance.


Playbook

Follow this sequence exactly. You are the moderator/orchestrator throughout.

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.
