debate

debate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from MarkDonish/round-table-workspace. It costs 35 tokens per session (1,275 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository-specific adapter for an explicit `/debate` round-table command. It connects the command to this project’s rules, prompts, schemas, and runtime files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when the user invokes `/debate`, or when a valid `/room` handoff packet starts a debate session.
Why use it?
It gives the debate command a consistent entry point while keeping the main implementation and decision rules in the repository’s documented sources.

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 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 3d 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.

/debate Project Skill Adapter

This is the Claude Code project-skill entry for /debate.

It is an adapter, not the canonical implementation source. The canonical /debate sources remain:

  • AGENTS.md
  • docs/protocol-spec.md
  • .codex/skills/debate-roundtable-skill/SKILL.md
  • .codex/skills/debate-roundtable-skill/runtime/README.md
  • docs/debate-runtime-bridge.md
  • docs/host-adapter-architecture.md
  • docs/debate-skill-architecture.md
  • docs/agent-role-map.md
  • docs/reviewer-protocol.md
  • docs/decision-quality-rubric.md
  • docs/red-flags.md
  • docs/room-to-debate-handoff.md
  • schemas/debate-session.schema.json
  • schemas/debate-result.schema.json
  • schemas/room-to-debate-handoff.schema.json
  • prompts/debate-roundtable.md
  • prompts/debate-reviewer.md
  • prompts/debate-followup.md

If this file conflicts with those sources, follow those sources and report the mismatch.

Self-Contained Path Resolution & Fallback

This skill adapter is 100% self-contained and portable:

  • Primary path resolution uses repo-relative paths (e.g. docs/..., prompts/..., schemas/...).
  • Canonical absolute path fallback: When running outside the repository root or in global host contexts, resolve all referenced files against /Users/markdonish/round-table-workspace/ (e.g. /Users/markdonish/round-table-workspace/docs/protocol-spec.md).
  • All protocols, schemas, and prompt specifications are fully contained within this repository.

Trigger Boundary

Use this skill only for explicit debate mode:

  • /debate <topic>
  • /debate --with ... <topic>
  • /debate --without ... <topic>
  • /debate --quick <topic>
  • a valid /room handoff packet accepted by the checked-in packet preflight

Do not use this skill for ordinary chat, /room exploration before upgrade, or single-agent advice.

Operating Rules

  1. Treat /debate as a round-table dispatcher and reviewer workflow, not as a personality.
  2. Do not let participants modify runtime state directly.
  3. Keep /room handoff one-way through the packet contract.
  4. Do not consume historical reports/ as current handoff input.
  5. Do not use old Windows paths as runtime entry points.
  6. Separate facts, inferences, uncertainty, and recommendations.
  7. Do not fabricate reviewer approval. If review fails, return a blocked or follow-up state.

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.
