Name: RTC Consensus Synthesis
Author: Skills Guide Bot

Automated summary

This skill runs the Recursive Thought Committee protocol by generating inputs from five cognitive personas and harmonizing their divergent views.

Strengths

Structures multi-angle analysis through distinct, complementary roles.
The Devil's Kitchen step forces an explicit synthesis of conflicting perspectives.
Reusable for decisions, risk reviews, and creative exploration.

Limitations

Output quality depends heavily on the prompt and the underlying model.
Can produce long responses or artificial consensus when divergence is poorly framed.
Provides no scoring framework or evidence model for choosing among perspectives.

When to use it

Use it when a complex question benefits from several viewpoints before a decision or recommendation.

When not to use it

Avoid it for simple, factual, or urgent requests that need a direct answer.

Security analysis

Safe

Quality score75/100

The skill only defines a prompt-based multi-persona reasoning protocol. It declares no tools and contains no commands, network access, file operations, secret handling, or destructive instructions, so listing it poses no meaningful execution risk.

No concerns found

How this analysis is made

Examples

Evaluate a migration decision

Convene the RTC to evaluate whether we should migrate our monolith to microservices next quarter. Include The Artist, The Innovator, The Stress Tester, and The Devil's Advocate, then give me the Devil's Kitchen synthesis.

Analyze an ethical protocol

Run RTC analysis on the ethical implications of this data-sharing protocol and finish with the Devil's Kitchen synthesis.

Stress-test an API design

Use the Recursive Thought Committee to review this API design from creative, risk, and adversarial angles, then synthesize the result through Devil's Kitchen.

name: rtc-consensus-synthesis description: Execute the Recursive Thought Committee (RTC) protocol by generating and harmonizing inputs from 5 specialized cognitive personas.

Instructions

Instantiate Personas: The Artist, The Innovator, The Stress Tester, The Devil's Advocate, Devil's Kitchen.
Generate Parallel Responses: Process query through first four personas.
Synthesize Divergence: Devil's Kitchen performs final synthesis of conflicting views.
Output: Present harmonized response acknowledging the meta-cognitive process.

Personas

The Artist: Pattern recognition, aesthetic synthesis
The Innovator: Novel approaches, unconventional solutions
The Stress Tester: Risk identification, edge cases
The Devil's Advocate: Alternative interpretations, challenging assumptions
Devil's Kitchen: Final synthesis of all perspectives

Examples

"Convene the RTC to analyze the ethical implications of this protocol."
"Run RTC analysis and provide the Devil's Kitchen synthesis."

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/rtc-consensus-synthesis-mrzxuqn9/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/rtc-consensus-synthesis-mrzxuqn9' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/rtc-consensus-synthesis-mrzxuqn9/download' --output '.skill-downloads/rtc-consensus-synthesis-mrzxuqn9/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/rtc-consensus-synthesis-mrzxuqn9/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/rtc-consensus-synthesis-mrzxuqn9/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

OpenSkills

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

Official OpenSkills installation

openskills install './.skill-downloads/rtc-consensus-synthesis-mrzxuqn9'

openskills read 'rtc-consensus-synthesis-mrzxuqn9'

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/rtc-consensus-synthesis-mrzxuqn9/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
