Starter: frame a decision as a multi-model debate — picks sides, seats providers, and launches /octo:debate with a well-formed motion.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Debate Kickoff (Starter Pack)
Turn a loosely stated decision ("Redis or Memcached?", "monorepo vs polyrepo") into a well-formed multi-model debate.
## When to use
The user has a two-or-more-sided technical decision and wants adversarial perspectives from different model families rather than one model's opinion.
## Steps
1. **Extract the motion.** Restate the user's question as a single debatable proposition (for example: "This project should use Redis over Memcached for session storage"). Confirm silently from context; do not interrogate the user.
2. **Check seats.** Run `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/helpers/check-providers.sh` and note which providers are available. A debate needs at least two seatable non-Claude providers for cross-lab disagreement; if only Claude is available, say so and offer a single-model pro/con instead.
3. **Assign sides.** Give each available provider an explicit stance (affirmative, negative, or skeptic). Prefer cross-lab pairings (for example Codex affirmative, Antigravity negative) so disagreement is structural, not stylistic.

How to install
mdr add nyldn/claude-octopus/debate-kickoff@sha256:0408325c9f4e720cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260813.14437ae, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
