What it does
When you ask for a roundtable on a topic, the agent acts as a moderator who invites 3-5 real historical or contemporary thinkers, has them debate in turns, and pushes them to challenge each other rather than agree. After each round it draws a small ASCII diagram of the argument's structure and offers you a menu of commands to steer (continue, stop, dig deeper, or bring in a new thinker). When you stop, it writes a summary and saves the full transcript to a Markdown file in a ~/Context folder.
Great for
- Students or readers who want to explore a question from several opposing viewpoints
- Writers or thinkers preparing arguments and looking for objections to their position
- Anyone who wants a structured, turn-by-turn debate they can steer with simple commands
Skip it if
- Factual research that needs verified sources: the personas are the model's imitation of real people's views, not quotations checked against their works, so attributions can be wrong
- Situations where you need an authoritative answer rather than an exploration; the format is built around contested questions
- Users who do not want files written to their home directory, since the skill saves transcripts automatically to ~/Context
Try asking
- “圆桌讨论 人工智能是否拥有真正的创造力？”
- “圆桌 自由意志是否存在？”
- “辩论 城市应该优先发展公共交通还是私家车基础设施？”
- “圆桌讨论 什么是好的教育？”

Ask for the task
No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.
Get better results
- Give a specific, debatable question rather than a broad topic; sharper questions produce sharper clashes.
- Use 深入此节 when a disagreement is interesting, and 引入新人物 to add a perspective the discussion lacks.
- Check the saved transcript against the original works of any quoted thinker before citing it elsewhere.
