conclave 3-agent council, vs 100% Claude alone — both catch obvious bugs
v0.16 · MMXXVIcouncil convened
A council of AI agents
convenes for every PR
against your PRD.
Drop a .conclave/prd.md and every PR auto-reviews against your spec — catching scope drift, missing requirements, and unauthorized changes that diff-only review can't see. Three models deliberate, one verdict lands, autofix ships the fix.
Ex pluribus, iudicium. — Out of many, one judgement.

proceedings
How the council convenes
Three steps. No CI changes. No keys to manage on your end (unless you wish to bring your own).
I
Install the seal
One click installs the Conclave AI Code Council GitHub App. It subscribes to your repository's pull-request events; nothing runs in your CI. The work happens in our sandbox, sealed away from your build.
II
Lodge your PRD
.conclave/prd.md describes what the change is supposed to accomplish — acceptance criteria, out-of-scope, non-functional requirements. Agents read it before deliberation and flag spec deviations as first-class blockers.
III
Receive the verdict
Three agents review independently. Disagreements escalate to a second tier. The verdict — APPROVE, REWORK, or REJECT — and any dissents land on the PR as a check and a comment. Solo and Pro tiers also dispatch the result to Telegram.

Why a council, not Claude alone
From our own dogfood — fifteen synthetic-bug pull requests across five vibe-coder Next.js templates. Honest figures; no apology, no marketing arithmetic.

How it lands on the PR
Conclave AI verdict: REWORK · 187s
4 blockers found across spec, security, a11y, and testing.
- [spec-mismatch] · blocker Endpoint
POST /billing/refundis not in the PRD's acceptance criteria. Either remove the route or extend.conclave/prd.md§3 to include it; shipping refund flow without spec coverage is exactly the audit-trail gap legal flagged last quarter.apps/api/src/routes/billing.ts:84 - [security] · blocker

/billing/refundroute ships with zero integration tests. Refund logic untested in the same PR that introduces it inverts the safe order — add a test before merge.apps/api/test/billing.test.ts (missing)
Push a fix or run conclave autofix --use-saas --pr 142 to let the worker agent attempt the fixes automatically.
Verbatim format the council posts after a verdict. Real categories, real chips, real autofix command — no marketing reshoot.
The moat is not “smarter than Claude.” It is multi-agent depth and PRD-aware spec compliance — three models reading your change and your spec together catch scope creep, route mismatches, and forgotten acceptance criteria a single model alone misses.
IV
hearing
Lodge a public PR for an opening hearing
Paste a public pull request URL or a raw diff. Optionally attach a PRD by drag-drop, file picker, or a GitHub URL. One Claude pass with the PRD-aware prompt — the same prompt the full council uses. Three opening hearings per IP per UTC day; install the App for the full three-agent council.

questions
Disquisitions
- How is this different from Claude Code or Cursor?
- Those are IDE assistants. Conclave AI sits at the pull-request layer with three independent agents and reads your PRD. A different layer; a different value: catches what single-agent review misses, and flags spec deviations no plain code review can produce.
- What does the council see from my repo?
- Only the diff and the files referenced in blockers — the same surface a human reviewer touches. Code never leaves our sandbox. Federated learning shares only anonymised signals (kind, category, severity hash, day-bucket, sha256). See docs/federated-sync.md.
- Do I need to install anything in CI?
- No. The GitHub App receives webhooks; review and autofix run inside our Cloudflare Containers sandbox. Your CI stays untouched.
- May I bring my own Anthropic key?
- Yes — the free tier is BYO-key with unlimited usage. You opt into anonymous failure-pattern sharing in exchange. The trade is honest: we receive data to make the federated catalog smarter; you receive unlimited free reviews.
