Council - Chamber Orchestration Pattern

Instead of spawning separate agent silos, create a Council Chamber where multiple expert personas deliberate in a single session with cross-pollination and unified transcript.

Prerequisites

• SQLite3 (member database)
• Graphiti service (Memory Bridge)
• Clawdbot gateway (sessions_spawn)

Setup

Initialize council database:

bash command:"{baseDir}/init-db.sh"

🏛️ The Chamber Pattern

Traditional Approach (Silos):

• Spawn 3 separate agents
• Each analyzes independently
• No cross-pollination
• Fragmented output

Chamber Approach (Meeting Room):

• Single agent session
• Moderates multiple personas
• Structured turn-taking
• Unified deliberation transcript

Tools

council_chamber

Start a Council Chamber session (recommended).

Usage:

bash command:"
TOPIC='YOUR_TOPIC'
MEMBERS='architect,analyst,security'

{baseDir}/references/chamber-orchestrator.sh \"\$TOPIC\" \"\$MEMBERS\"
"

What it does:

1. Fetches Graphiti context (Memory Bridge)
2. Loads member personas from database
3. Constructs chamber task with turn structure
4. Creates session record
5. Outputs task for sessions_spawn

council_list_members

List all registered members.

Usage:

bash command:"sqlite3 -header -column ~/.clawdbot/council.db 'SELECT id, name, role FROM council_members'"

council_add_member

Register new member.

Usage:

bash command:"
sqlite3 ~/.clawdbot/council.db \"
INSERT INTO council_members (id, name, role, system_message, expertise)
VALUES ('MEMBER_ID', 'NAME', 'ROLE', 'SYSTEM_MESSAGE', 'EXPERTISE');
\""

Chamber Session Structure

3-Turn Deliberation:

1. Turn 1: Initial Analysis

   • Each persona provides their perspective
   • Distinct voices maintained

2. Turn 2: Cross-Pollination

   • Members critique each other's points
   • Real-time responses
   • Healthy debate

3. Turn 3: Synthesis

   • Find common ground
   • Resolve disagreements
   • Executive Summary for user

Default Members

ID	Name	Role
architect	System Architect	Technical Design
analyst	Technical Analyst	Research & Analysis
security	Security Officer	Risk Assessment
designer	UX Designer	User Experience
strategist	Business Strategist	ROI & Strategy

Example

# User: "Start council on Salesforce integration"

# Output:
# 🏛️ Convening Council Chamber...
# 🧠 Memory Bridge: [Retrieved 10 facts about Salesforce]
# 👥 Loaded 2 personas

• ✅ Single transcript (one .jsonl file)
• ✅ Shared context (Memory Bridge loaded once)
• ✅ Structured output (3-turn deliberation)
