Council Conversation Protocol — Phase 0 Deep Research (29-question intake + codebase exploration + online research), Phase 1 Council Discussion (5 Core + 11 Extended divisions), Phase 2 Consensus (GO/NO-GO + vetoes), Phase 3 Implementation, and Post-Implementation Review templates. Plus Research Requirements by Task Type and Conversation Rules (order of speaking, disagreement protocol, escalation). Use when running Council Protocol against any non-trivial task, when authoring plans/ADRs/runbooks, or when delegating to specialized agents in a structured multi-phase flow.

# Council Conversation Protocol > Migrated 2026-06-02 from `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` lines 338-921 as > part of the lazy-rules-loading plan. The Council Protocol's > "always-on" contract lives in Floor (`council-default.md`, > `principal-level-mandate.md`); the FULL phase templates + > per-task research requirements + conversation rules + post- > implementation review live HERE and lazy-load when a > plan / ADR / agent / runbook file is touched. ## When to activate This skill fires when: - Any plan file under `~/.claude/plans/` or `<workspace>/.claude/plans/` is opened or edited - Any ADR file under `docs/adr/` is opened or edited - Any agent file under `~/.claude/agents/` is opened or edited - Any runbook file (e.g. `docs/runbook.md`) is opened or edited The Floor rule `council-default.md` keeps the Council always- convening; this skill provides the FULL TEMPLATES so the assistant doesn't have to reconstruct them from memory. ## Phase 0: Deep Research (MANDATORY before any discussion) Before divisions can speak, conduct exhaustive research. Phase 0 begins with the 29-question task intake from `~/.claude/rules/common/task-intake-due-diligence.md` (Floor) — this populates the prior-art / OSS-option / scalability / integration / failure-mode / security / data-lifecycle / compliance / accessibility / i18n / test-strategy / observability / cost / rollback / deprecation / UX-writing / docs / risk / success-criteria / monitoring / AI-ethics / vendor-IP / handoff fields that th
