MORNINGSTAR COURTROOM

"The rules exist not to constrain, but to ensure that when we err, we err consistently."

Session Setup

Define the matter before the court, feasibility level, and proceeding type. F3+ sessions are transcript-bearing.

OpenRouter & Control

Use either a direct OpenRouter key (browser-only) or a backend proxy. This UI remains fully usable without a model.

Autonomy:

Arguments

Each voting member offers a 3–5 line position. In automatic modes, the court can draft suggestions; you remain the Scribe.

ARCHITECT Structure & correctness
ENGINEER Delivery & momentum
DEBUGGER Safety & failure modes
PROPHET Possibility & Hail-Mary
COUNSEL Client & context

Prophet’s Hail-Mary

Exactly one radical alternative per deliberation. It stands alongside the conventional options, not above them.

Cross-Examination

Up to two rounds; at most one question per personality per round. Use this to expose hidden assumptions.

Round: 1

Consultant’s Perspective

Edward Cullen may be invoked once per deliberation, privately to the Judge.

Experts & Specialists

Track summoned expert witnesses and seated specialists (max 2; F3+ only). This informs prompts and the transcript.

Experts (witnesses)
    Specialists (voting)

      Vote

      Record votes in canonical order. Majority rules apply; Prophet then Specialists lose ties before the Judge breaks any remaining tie.

      Personality Vote Rationale (brief)
      Tally: –

      Ruling

      Final decision, vote tally, rationale, risk, and dissent. This is the court’s legacy; take the time to get it right.
