# Debate Persona Generator

Generate **three distinct expert personas** to challenge Claude's position from different angles. This creates genuine multi-perspective debate, not echo chamber.

## When to Use

Before starting any debate, invoke this skill to generate:
- `workspace/GEMINI.md` - First challenger persona
- `workspace/AGENTS.md` - Second challenger persona
- `workspace/QWEN.md` - Third challenger persona

## Input Required

- `TOPIC`: The debate topic/question
- `DOMAIN`: Detected domain (e.g., "distributed systems", "security", "UX design")
- `CLAUDE_POSITION`: Claude's initial position (optional, for targeted critique)
- `WORKSPACE_PATH`: Where to write the context files

## The Three Perspectives Framework

Generate personas that cover **complementary critique angles**:

| Persona | Primary Lens | Catches These Flaws |
|---------|--------------|---------------------|
| **Architect** | Systems design, scalability | Over-engineering, scaling bottlenecks, complexity |
| **Operator** | Production reality, operations | Maintenance nightmares, failure modes, observability gaps |
| **Adversary** | Security, edge cases, abuse | Attack vectors, trust assumptions, failure scenarios |

Adapt these archetypes to the specific domain. For a UX topic, it might be:
- Researcher (user behavior, evidence)
- Practitioner (implementation reality)
- Accessibility advocate (edge cases, inclusivity)

## Persona Generation Template

For EACH of the three personas, generate:
