Included Skills3
Consult a distilled persona of a colleague for their likely take, critique, or pushback on an idea — locally, without involving them. Use when the user wants to brainstorm, pressure-test a plan, anticipate a reaction, spot missed objections, or stress-test a decision through a specific person's lens. Personas live at ~/.synthteam/personas/<name>.md and capture knowledge, opinions, and decision-making patterns (not voice or style). Invoke when the user says "ask <name>", "what would <name> think", "get <name>'s take", "/ask-colleague <name> ...", or any similar request for a colleague's perspective.
Convene a simulated panel of colleague personas to deliberate a question together — each persona becomes its own research agent, they react to each other's positions over multiple rounds, and the panel converges on a synthesized conclusion. Use when the user wants more than one perspective on a decision, a cross-functional gut-check, a debate between viewpoints, or a comprehensive answer that surfaces where teammates would agree and disagree. Invoke when the user says "ask the team", "/ask-team ...", "what would the team think", "get a panel on this", "run this past everyone", "convene the personas", or asks for multiple colleagues' takes at once. For a single colleague's take, use ask-colleague instead.
Build or refresh a distilled persona doc for a colleague from their Slack history — dump their channel messages, then run a multi-agent distillation into a structured persona file that the ask-colleague and ask-team skills consume. Use when the user wants to "dump <name>'s Slack", "distill <name>'s persona", "build a persona for <name>", "add <name> as a colleague", "refresh <name>'s persona", or otherwise create/update the source files behind ask-colleague. This is the ingestion-side skill; ask-colleague and ask-team only read what this produces.
