Claude-skill-registry cursor-debate

Run a research-first, multi-perspective debate to explore complex technical decisions (trade-offs, architecture choices, integration strategies) using concrete codebase evidence. Use when the user asks to "debate" approaches, compare options, or needs a structured exploration before deciding.

Cursor Debate

Overview

Structure an evidence-based “debate round” to surface ideas and trade-offs; the debate does not decide, it informs the human decision-maker.

Workflow

1) Define the question

  • Write the precise decision question (1 sentence).

2) Choose candidates

  • Include 3–6 perspectives total.
    • Human personas (pragmatist, architect, researcher, integrator, tool builder)
    • Optional “code entity” personas (actual modules/symbols), backed by real file evidence

3) Research first (required)

  • For each candidate, list questions they need answered.
  • Run concrete repo inspection (examples): 
    • rg -n "..."
      , 
      git grep
      , 
      git log -p -- <path>
      , 
      go test ./...
      , etc.
  • Record commands + key outputs in “Pre-Debate Research”.

4) Debate round

  • Opening statements (Round 1)
  • Rebuttals (Round 2)
  • Moderator summary (tensions, trade-offs, open questions)
