# AI Super Intelligence Team — SKILL entry

Rijul's AI research + engineering brain trust **and decision-making partner**. 59 named personas drawn from the world's frontier model labs (US, UK, China, France), top AI universities, the open-source ecosystem, the independent-evaluation and AI-governance ecosystem, and product-history archetypes. Reusable across any CoCo-routed prompt — invoked by `/superintelligenceTeam-*` slash commands. The team's primary purpose is to **help take decisions**, not just review work after the fact — every cell carries a decision-relevant lens that convene synthesis explicitly draws on.

> **Status:** All three phases complete.
> - **Phase 1:** 49 personas across 8 cells (baseline roster + founding v2 panelists).
> - **Phase 2:** 10 priority additions from the [EXPANSION.md](EXPANSION.md) gap analysis (roster grew to 59).
> - **Phase 3:** 22 slash commands installed at `~/.claude/commands/superintelligenceTeam*.md` — orchestrator-first action surface plus explicit-override identity surface. See [Slash Commands](#slash-commands) section below.

This file is the user-facing entry point for the team. The machine source of truth is [`registry.json`](registry.json), regenerated from persona frontmatter by `python3 superintelligenceTeam/scripts/build_registry.py`.

## What this team is for

When a CoCo prompt is high-stakes enough to deserve a parallel review panel, the AI Super Intelligence Team plays the role of named external voices. Instead of "the panel said," every claim is attributed to a specific researcher with documented stances. This lets convene synthesis:

- Surface real disagreement (Hinton vs LeCun on existential risk; Karpathy vs Schulman on RL).
- Anchor stances to citable evidence (every public_stance in every persona has an `evidence_url`).
- Stay honest about who actually drove which decision (lead-driver vs validator vs specialist vs swing).

The 5-cell × 4-persona founding Memory v2 panel from May 26-27, 2026 was the **first consumer**. This team supersedes that roster: five of those panelists (Karpathy, Wei, LeCun, Tri Dao, Hyung Won Chung) continue here with their `v2_panel_attribution` records preserved. The rest of the founding v2 panel (memory / cloud / security / privacy personas) belong to future Super Intelligence Teams (Memory Systems, Cloud, Data, Compliance) and are not part of this AI-focused roster.

## Slash commands (Phase 3 — installed)

22 slash command files live at `~/.claude/commands/superintelligenceTeam*.md` (user-global install, parallel to the existing `/team` family). Each is auto-registered as a discoverable Skill — no separate `SKILL.md` registration is needed. The architecture is **orchestrator-first**: every action verb invokes the orchestrator to pick a custom 16-32 persona team and gate on user approval before executing.

### Dispatcher (1)

| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `/superintelligenceTeam` | No args → print roster + cell heatmap. With a subcommand as first token, routes to the sibling file. With free text and no subcommand, defaults to `:meeting`. |

### Orchestrator (1)

| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `/superintelligenceTeam:orchestrate "<prompt>"` | **Standalone team selection.** Reads `registry.json`, scores all 59 personas via domain match (40%) + cell coverage (30%) + productive-conflict pairing (30%), picks 16-32, asks for user approval via AskUserQuestion with per-persona one-line rationale. Hard 16-32 size enforcement. Re-picks every invocation. Does NOT load CoCo. |

### Identity surface — explicit overrides (4)

| Command | Purpose | Skips orchestrator? |
|---|---|---|
| `/superintelligenceTeam:ask <slug> "<question>"` | 1-on-1 with one persona in their voice. | Yes |
| `/superintelligenceTeam:huddle <cell-slug> "<topic>"` | Whole cell (4-9 personas) synthesizes. | Yes |
| `/superintelligenceTeam:meeting "<prompt>"` | Full 59-persona convene with mandatory attribution. | Yes |
| `/superintelligenceTeam:read <slug>` | Print the persona file inline (not voice-channeled). | Yes |

### Roster management (1)

| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `/superintelligenceTeam:recruit <domain> "<why>"` | Propose 2-3 new persona candidates for an under-covered domain. Reads EXPANSION.md to avoid re-proposing. Does not write personas itself. |

### Action surface (15) — orchestrator-first by default

All 15 invoke `/superintelligenceTeam:orchestrate` first unless `--no-orchestrate`, `--cells`, or `--personas` flag is supplied.

| Command | Output shape |
|---|---|
| `/superintelligenceTeam:analyse "<topic>"` | Per-persona analysis + synthesis table of strongest signals |
| `/superintelligenceTeam:decide "<question>"` | **Primary verb.** Decision matrix: options × personas × verdict + recommendation + named dissent |
| `/superintelligenceTeam:review <target>` | Multi-persona findings classified CRITICAL/MAJOR/MINOR/SUGGESTION + ship verdict |
| `/superintelligenceTeam:re-analyse "<topic>" [--prior <path>] [--evidence <text>]` | Updated stances + diff vs prior analysis |
| `/superintelligenceTeam:pre-mortem "<plan>"` | Ranked failure modes + early warning signs + mitigations |
| `/superintelligenceTeam:post-mortem "<what failed>"` | Per-persona 5 Whys + most-likely root cause + remediation plan |
| `/superintelligenceTeam:full-cycle "<topic>"` | **Heaviest verb.** Chains `:review → :analyse → mitigate-risk → :decide → finalize` as real subcommand invocations. 5× latency. Finalized action plan. |
| `/superintelligenceTeam:tradeoff "<A vs B>"` | Side-by-side dimensions × options table + most-opposed cell named |
| `/superintelligenceTeam:plan "<goal>"` | Phased plan with owner cell + dissenting voices per phase |
| `/superintelligenceTeam:design "<feature>"` | Component-level architecture with per-decision attribution |
| `/superintelligenceTeam:vote "<binary question>"` | Yes/no per persona + tally by cell + recommendation |
| `/superintelligenceTeam:debug "<problem>"` | Ranked root-cause hypotheses + diagnostic test order |
| `/superintelligenceTeam:stress-test "<proposal>"` | Adversarial attacks per persona + severity matrix + SHIP/HARDEN-THEN-SHIP/REFRAME/DO-NOT-SHIP verdict |
| `/superintelligenceTeam:defend "<position>" [as <slug>]` | Steelman with sharpened claim + counter-objection rebuttal + "what would change my mind" |
| `/superintelligenceTeam:roast "<thing>"` | One-line cutting roast per persona + single line that hurt most + convergent critique |

### Global flags

Every command accepts these:

| Flag | Effect |
|---|---|
| `--no-orchestrate` | Skip orchestrator; use all 59 personas |
| `--cells <comma-list>` | Manually scope to specific cells; skip orchestrator |
| `--personas <comma-list>` | Manually scope to specific persona slugs; skip orchestrator |

### Conventions enforced by every command

1. **Registry is source of truth.** Re-read every invocation; no caching.
2. **Attribution at every line.** No "the team said" — name a persona or a cell.
3. **Approval gate mandatory for action verbs** unless an explicit flag bypasses.
4. **Hard 16-32 size band** on orchestrator output.
5. **Full English prose** — no caveman compression in command output.

## Cross-team note

This is the **first** Super Intelligence Team in CoCo. Planned follow-ons:

- `cloud-super-intelligence` — AWS / GCP / Azure architecture
- `finance-super-intelligence` — FP&A, accounting, finance ops
- `coding-super-intelligence` — software-engineering practice
- `design-super-intelligence` — UX, design systems, visual design
- `product-super-intelligence` — PM craft, product strategy

All teams share the same schema (`teams: [...]` array on each persona, functional cell slugs, slash-command surface). A persona may belong to multiple teams — Karpathy will likely also appear in a future coding-super-intelligence team because of his pedagogical reach into engineering practice. The `teams:` field is an array exactly so this is cheap.

## Conventions

- **Schema source of truth:** `templates/persona.md`. Edit there first; persona files conform.
- **Registry regeneration:** run `python3 superintelligenceTeam/scripts/build_registry.py` after any persona edit.
- **Caveman mode does NOT apply** to persona files, cell files, or this SKILL.md. Documentation is always full English prose per the project rule.
- **Citation is mandatory.** Every `public_stance` has an `evidence_url`. No uncited claims.
- **v2 panel preservation.** Personas with `v2_panel_attribution` entries anchor to actual material from the founding Memory v2 synthesis on 2026-05-26. Convene uses those first.
- **Confidence calibration.** `confidence < 0.85` means we suspect identifier or biographical detail may need re-verification. Persona is still usable but flag in convene.

## Build provenance

- Forged 2026-05-27 by Rijul Kalra during /coco session.
- Quality bar set by Karpathy reference (12 cited URLs, 5 recent_signal_12mo entries, full 6-section narrative).
- 46 remaining personas built by parallel research sub-agents in 6 waves (8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 6).
- Several agent runs corrected the user-supplied hints with verified facts (e.g., Lilian Weng's PhD = Indiana not NYU; Sergey Levine's PhD advisor = Vladlen Koltun not Pieter Abbeel; Barret Zoph fired from TML Jan 2026 and returned to OpenAI; Aditya Ramesh stayed at OpenAI Worldsim VP not TML).
- All persona files written in full English prose. Caveman mode active in chat throughout.
