councilify skillA

councilify is agent-read markdown (skill) from microsoft/amplifier-bundle-skills: Build a NEW complete "council" for a domain — a panel of orthogonal review lenses that fan out cold, debate to consensus, and return a synthesized verdict with recorded dissent, exactly like /council and /design-council. Identifies the distinct lenses a domain needs (one load-bearing question each, mined from real archetypes — not invented), reuses existing lenses, and builds only the genuinely-missing ones (persona SKILLs via personafy, or agents when the role is an active builder). Use when cr.

What the file says

# Councilify

Produce a NEW, invocable **council** for a domain: a `context: fork` concierge
orchestrator over a bench of **orthogonal lenses**, following the proven
`/council` → `/design-council` pattern. Reuse before you build; build lenses only
where a real, distinct load-bearing question is missing.

**Success artifact:** a council bundle that, in a FRESH session, convenes on a
realistic target — prints a roster manifest, loads every rostered lens (cold,
independent), returns `{PASS|CONCERN|FAIL|N/A}` verdicts, and surfaces standing
dissent — with every NEW lens grounded in real evidence and proven to steer.

## Inputs

- `$ARGUMENTS`: the domain to build a council for (e.g. "product development",
  "security review", "performance"). Optionally: pointers to evidence/archetypes,
  a target-class hint, and a preferred bundle home.

## Core Principles

- **Reuse beats build.** A lens that already owns an axis is composed in by
  reference across bundle boundaries (the ROB-from-made-support precedent), never
  copied. Building a lens whose question equals an existing lens's is the failure
  this skill exists to prevent.
