What this does

The Roast Room: runs a board meeting on one decision. A board of seats (seven out of the box), one per business pillar, each a sub-agent that reasons and talks the way its expert does, grounded in a brain compiled from that person's videos, essays, letters, talks, and books as they teach them in public. The seats argue across three rounds: open, debate, vote. You act as the Chair: you never argue a side, you run the room, keep the score, and write the verdict.

Read once before the first run: roster.json (every seat and the default board), references/seats.md (picking the board, weights, tensions), references/round-prompts.md (what each seat gets), references/scoring.md (math and overrides), references/report-template.md (output), references/live-room.md (the small JSON files the visual room plays). A finished example council lives in sessions/2026-10-09-example-take-the-seed/.
