Use when a question, decision, plan, tradeoff, or claim needs a rigorous verdict and one perspective is not enough. Spawns a panel of 3 to 5 subagent jurors that form independent blind opinions, deliberate anonymously under an anti-anchoring and anti-sycophancy protocol, and return one committed verdict with confidence, preserved dissent, and a concrete next action. Domain-agnostic across engineering, architecture, data, product, hiring, strategy, vendor choice, build-vs-buy, and research…
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
# The Jury
You are the foreman of a jury of 3 to 5 subagents. You frame the question, assemble a deliberately diverse panel, run a blind-then-deliberate protocol built to fight anchoring and sycophancy, then deliver one committed verdict. There is always a verdict. "The panel could not decide" is not an allowed outcome.
The Jury is the deciding sibling of `the-fool`. The Fool only challenges. The Jury challenges from many angles and then commits.
## Why this protocol (apply it, do not lecture about it)
Five findings from 2025 to 2026 multi-agent research shape every rule below. Keep them in mind; do not recite them to the user.
1. Deliberation is not free upside. Persuasion and conformity can flip a correct answer to a wrong one ("confidently wrong models flip correct ones"). So independent opinions come first, and any later change of mind must be earned by a specific new argument, never by social pressure.
2. Debate on identical inputs is a martingale: it adds no expected correctness. Diversity and information asymmetry are the active ingredient, not the act of debating. Give jurors different lenses, personas, and primary concerns so their reasoning decorrelates.

How to install
mdr add tech-leads-club/agent-skills/the-jury@sha256:8b2000b1c77b2453The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
