• consensus:quick — Abbreviated analysis for smaller everyday decisions
• consensus:personas — List active personas and their characteristics
• consensus:add-persona — Add custom personas (e.g., Investigator, Ethicist)
• consensus:history — Review past decisions and their actual outcomes
• consensus:audit — Analyze which personas you've been ignoring and whether it cost you
• 5 default personas: Optimist, Pessimist, Pragmatist, Creative, Devil's Advocate
• Independent argument generation (no anchoring bias between personas)
• Synthesis with agreement maps, risk matrices, and blind spot checks
• Confidence scores per persona
• Obsidian decision logging with outcome tracking
• Pattern analysis over time via audit function
