# /tribunal — Multi-Mode AI Debate
Two AI buddies engage on a codebase question using one of six modes. Every claim requires FILE:LINE evidence.
## Modes
| Mode | Flag | AIs do | Claude's role | Best for |
|------|------|--------|---------------|----------|
| adversarial | *(default)* | Argue FOR vs AGAINST | Judge — picks winner | Binary decisions, should/shouldn't |
| socratic | `--socratic` | Probe assumptions with questions | Synthesizer — surfaces insights | Early exploration, unclear framing |
| steelman | `--steelman` | Argue the OTHER side's strongest case | Calibrator — shows true strength of each side | Avoiding confirmation bias |
| red-team | `--red-team` | Attack from different angles, no defense | Risk assessor — prioritized vulnerability table | Poking holes in designs/plans |
| synthesis | `--synthesis` | Each proposes a solution, then hybridize | Merger — evaluates proposals + hybrid | Finding a third option |
| postmortem | `--postmortem` | Investigate failure from different angles | Investigator — unified timeline + root cause | Bug investigation, incident analysis |
## How to invoke
```
/tribunal "Should we refactor the auth middleware?"
/tribunal --socratic "Is our error handling resilient enough?"
/tribunal --steelman "Should we migrate to microservices?"
/tribunal --red-team "Review our new payment flow"
/tribunal --synthesis "How should we restructure the data layer?"
/tribunal --postmortem "Why did the deploy fail yesterday?"
/tribunal --mode red
