External Synthesize FAQs

Question 1

What is the primary purpose of the external-synthesize skill?

Accepted Answer

It merges reports from a 5-agent debate into a single implementation plan, highlighting areas of consensus and identifying specific points of disagreement for the developer to resolve.

Question 2

Does the AI make the final decision on technical disagreements?

Accepted Answer

No. While the external AI provides recommendations, developer arbitration is mandatory, ensuring the human coder maintains final authority over the implementation strategy.

Question 3

Which agents contribute to the synthesis process?

Accepted Answer

The skill processes reports from five specific agents: Bold Proposer, Paranoia Proposer, Critique, Proposal Reducer, and Code Reducer.

Question 4

Can I use this skill to iterate on an existing plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes, by using 'Resolve' or 'Refine' mode and providing the previous consensus and history files, you can iteratively modify and improve existing implementation plans.

Question 5

How does this skill handle conflicting ideas between agents?

Accepted Answer

It prevents the AI from automatically dropping ideas; instead, it formats conflicts into 'Disagreement' sections with multiple options (A/B/C) that require a developer to manually choose the path forward.
