Phase	Description
Nomination	Each council member uses its specific `CognitiveSchemaStrategy` to propose tasks based on the current state.
Voting	Members review all nominations and vote for the best path forward. Ties are resolved by priority.
Reflection	After execution, every member updates its internal state independently, allowing for diverse perspectives on progress.

Strategy	Focus	Behavior
Project Manager	Velocity & Scope	Prioritizes high-level goals and documentation.
Agile Developer	Code Quality	Focuses on TDD, linting, and implementation details.
Creative Writer	Communication	Ensures user-facing outputs and comments are clear and professional.

class CouncilMode(config: CouncilModeConfig) : CognitiveMode() {
    override fun handleUserMessage(userMessage: String, task: SessionTask) {
        // 1. Initialize Council Members
        config.council.forEach { strategy ->
            reasoningStates[strategy.name] = strategy.initialize(...)
        }

        // 2. The Iteration Loop
        while (iteration++ < maxIterations) {
            val nominations = config.council.flatMap { it.getNominations(...) }
            val selectedTasks = voteOnTasks(nominations)
            
            // 3. Parallel Execution
            val results = selectedTasks.map { runTask(it) }

            // 4. Multi-Agent Reflection
            config.council.forEach { it.update(results) }
        }
    }
}

Integration Guide

To enable CouncilMode, update your OrchestrationConfig. This mode is ideal for complex refactoring or architectural changes where a single agent might miss edge cases.


val config = OrchestrationConfig(
    mode = CognitiveModeType.Council,
    council = listOf(
        CognitiveSchemaStrategy.ProjectManager,
        CognitiveSchemaStrategy.AgileDeveloper
    ),
    autoFix = true // Allow council to execute plans without manual approval
)
