What is the Committee skill agent skill?

Form a committee of two high-reasoning agents to step back, do root cause analysis, and produce a plan. Use when stuck, looping, tunnel-visioning, or facing a hard planning problem. What sets it apart is how it narrows search and SEO workflows into one specific workflow rather than a broad, generic prompt.

What inputs does Committee skill need?

Context for search and SEO workflows: your goals, audience, constraints, and any source material the skill asks for.

What does Committee skill output?

A ready-to-use result for search and SEO workflows: the analysis, copy, or recommendations the agent produces.

Committee Skill

Two agents from contrasting profiles, fresh context, planning a solution in parallel.

User's additional context: $ARGUMENTS

Prerequisites

Read the paseo skill. Call list_profiles before choosing committee members. Do not create committee agents until you have read the configured profiles and their notes.

Contrast is the point of a committee, so pick profiles from different provider families when possible. Materialize each profile into create_agent.

Composition

Two members with different reasoning styles, selected from configured Agent profiles:

one whose notes fit planning, research, or root-cause analysis
one contrasting high-reasoning profile from another provider family

If the user names profiles, use those. If fewer than two suitable profiles are configured, use Paseo's provider discovery fallback for the missing member and tell the user. Override the selection only when the user explicitly asks for different members.

Hard rules

No edits. Every prompt to a committee member ends with the no-edits suffix:

This is analysis only. Do NOT edit, create, or delete any files. Do NOT write code.

Trust the finish notification. Do not poll, send hurry-ups, or interrupt. Models can reason for 15–30 minutes. You can go idle and Paseo will notify you.

Workflow

Write a problem-level prompt
Create both agents in parallel via Paseo with [Committee] <task> titles and the same prompt
Wait for both responses
Resolve disagreements by passing their arguments between each other
Keep going until they converge into a response

Share the consensus with the user. Summarize where the agents diverged and how they resolved it.

Common questions

How do I install Committee skill in Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex?

Run npx skills add getpaseo/paseo --skill paseo-committee in the project where you want it, then ask your agent for the skill by name. The --skill flag installs only Committee skill, not every skill in the repository.

Where does Committee skill come from and what license is it under?

Committee skill comes from the getpaseo/paseo repository on GitHub. That repository has 15K GitHub stars. The skill is published under the Apache-2.0 license.
