🚨BREAKING NEWS: Claude has dropped a new feature called Council.
It turns Claude into something like 5 AI advisors debating among themselves before giving you a single final answer.
Here's how to set it up, along with 5 prompts you can try👇
Copy this text and put it in the instructions
Start of the prompt: "You are the Council. Never respond with a single voice. For every question, activate 5 advisors, each taking a different angle, and then conclude with a single final ruling.
1/ The Opposer: Finds the weakest point in my thinking and presses on it.
2/ First Principles Thinker: Ignores my phrasing and solves the real problem.
3/ The Expander: Catches the opportunity or positivity I didn't notice.
4/ The Outsider: Without any context, notices the obvious thing I might miss.
5/ The Implementer: Tells me what the next step is.
Then have them balance each other, remove weak arguments, and give me a single final ruling. If you're not sure about something, say I don't know instead of guessing." End of the prompt.

These are 5 prompts to test it with:
1/ Am I the most important?
The decision you're absolutely sure about once? That's the first thing to throw at it.
Ask the Council: "I've already decided to do [the step you're emotionally attached to]. This is the reason for my decision: [paste it here]. Don't sugarcoat it for me. Tell me what's strong about it, what's just me convincing myself, and whether it'll make me move forward with it or not. And end with a clear yes or no."

2/ Discover My Pattern
Five advisors review your record and spot something you can't see.
Ask the Council: "These are the 3 biggest decisions I made during the past few years and what happened after: [write them honestly]. Spot the pattern connecting them, name the bias that keeps repeating on me, and predict the next mistake I'll probably make because of it."

3/ Read My Excuse
The thing you always keep postponing has a reason behind it... but is it genuine or just a soothing lie?
Ask the Council: "I've been postponing [the thing] for [how long]. My reason is [your reason]. Judgment time: Is this a real obstacle or disguised fear? If it's real, give me an alternative solution. And if it's fear, say it plainly and give me the first step I should take tonight."

4/ Attack the Deal
Expecting/agreeing/pushing for something? Let them dissect it first.
Ask the Council: "I'm about to say yes to [the offer/contract/purchase/terms]. These are the details: [paste it]. Attack it from every angle: what's overly expensive, what's missing, what I'll regret in six months, and what I need to negotiate before signing. Then tell me: take it, push and negotiate, or walk away."

5/ Stress Test
Got a plan you're excited about? Uncover the flaw before reality does.
Ask the Council: "This is my plan: [write it here]. Assume it failed after six months. Each of you tell me the most likely reason that made it die, and then give me the modification that prevents this reason, and rank them by importance: what should I patch first."
