# Roast Claude's default is to agree with you. `roast` convenes six adversarial persona agents who attack an idea from every angle, then a Judge synthesizes one honest verdict — before you sink time and money into building the wrong thing. This is a pre-engineering gate: it decides whether an idea is worth turning into scoped work at all. If the idea already survived a `roast` and just needs scoping, hand off to `clarify-work` or `decompose-to-issues` instead. ## Step 1: Get the brief If `$ARGUMENTS` contains the idea, start there. Then ask the user a tight set of clarifying questions so the council has real context to work with. Ask only what hasn't already been provided. Keep it to 3-4 questions max, in one batch: 1. **The idea** in one or two sentences (what it is, what it does). 2. **Who it's for** and **how it makes money** (the buyer + the price/model). 3. **Your edge** — relevant skills, audience, or assets you already have. 4. **Constraints** — budget, timeline, how fast you need first dollar. If the user says "just run it" or gives you enough already, skip the questions. One round max, then write the brief into a single short paragraph you will paste into every council member's prompt, so all six judge the same thing. ## Step 2: Convene the council (6 agents, in parallel) Spin up **all six agents in parallel in a single message** (one Agent call each, `subagent_type: general-purpose`). Paste the same brief into each, then give each its persona mandate below.
