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

Usage:
bash command:"
