Multi-Brain Debate Protocol

多脑辩论协议（Multi-Brain Debate Protocol）

Extend the multi-brain consensus with a two-round adversarial debate. Perspectives don't just state their case — they challenge each other. The result is a stress-tested decision where weak arguments have been exposed and strong ones reinforced.
在多脑共识基础上扩展出两轮对抗式辩论。各方观点不仅要阐述自身立场，还要相互交锋。最终形成的决策经过了压力测试，薄弱论点被暴露，有力论点得到强化。

Workflow

工作流程

1. Understand the request
2. Round 1: Independent positions (3 perspectives)
3. Round 2: Counter-arguments and rebuttals
4. Judge's verdict (consensus)
5. Produce full output with debate trail visible

Step 1: Understand the Request

步骤1：理解需求

Same as base multi-brain. Ask one clarifying question if needed, otherwise proceed.
与基础版多脑共识流程一致。如有需要，可提出一个澄清问题，否则直接推进。

Step 2: Round 1 — Opening Positions

步骤2：第一轮——开场立场

Each instance presents their approach independently (same as base multi-brain):

每个独立角色独立阐述自身方案（与基础版多脑共识流程一致）：

🧠 Debate — Round 1: Opening Positions

🧠 Debate — Round 1: Opening Positions

Instance A — Creative: [2-3 sentences: position + rationale]
Instance B — Pragmatic: [2-3 sentences: position + rationale]
Instance C — Comprehensive: [2-3 sentences: position + rationale]

Instance A — Creative: [2-3 sentences: position + rationale]
Instance B — Pragmatic: [2-3 sentences: position + rationale]
Instance C — Comprehensive: [2-3 sentences: position + rationale]

Step 3: Round 2 — Challenges & Rebuttals

步骤3：第二轮——质疑与反驳

Each instance can now see the others' positions and must:
  1. Challenge the weakest point of another instance's argument
  2. Defend their own position against potential objections

每个独立角色现在可以看到其他角色的立场，并且必须：
  1. 质疑其他角色论点中的最薄弱环节
  2. 捍卫自身立场，应对潜在异议

⚔️ Debate — Round 2: Challenges

⚔️ Debate — Round 2: Challenges

A challenges B: [1-2 sentences: specific weakness identified]
B challenges C: [1-2 sentences: specific weakness identified]
C challenges A: [1-2 sentences: specific weakness identified]
Rebuttals:
  • A responds: [1 sentence defense or concession]
  • B responds: [1 sentence defense or concession]
  • C responds: [1 sentence defense or concession]

步骤5：完整输出

Mandatory: The final response must include both debate rounds, the verdict, and the complete deliverable. The user must see the full reasoning trail.
**强制要求：**最终回复必须包含两轮辩论内容、裁决结果以及完整交付物。用户必须能够看到完整的推理过程。

Guardrails

约束规则

  • Always show both rounds — the debate trail is the value, not just the verdict.
  • Challenges must be specific and substantive — not generic "this might not scale."
  • Rebuttals can include concessions — "You're right, I'll adjust my position to X."
  • The verdict must explain what was eliminated and why — not just what won.
  • Keep the total debate concise: Round 1 (2-3 sentences each), Round 2 (1-2 sentences each), Rebuttals (1 sentence each).
  • Do not force disagreement — if all 3 genuinely align, acknowledge it and skip Round 2.
  • 必须展示两轮辩论内容——辩论过程是核心价值所在，而非仅仅是裁决结果。
  • 质疑必须具体且有实质内容——不能是诸如“这可能无法扩展”之类的泛泛之谈。
  • 反驳可以包含让步——例如“你说得对，我会将立场调整为X”。
  • 裁决结果必须说明哪些论点被淘汰以及原因——不能只说明获胜的论点。
  • 整体辩论需保持简洁：第一轮（每个角色2-3句话）、第二轮（每个角色1-2句话）、反驳（每个角色1句话）。
  • 不得强制制造分歧——如果三个角色的观点完全一致，需确认这一点并跳过第二轮。
