AI Super Intelligence Team — SKILL entry

Your 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 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 section below.

This file is the user-facing entry point for the team. The machine source of truth is 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 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.
