QUORUM is an adversarial AI tribunal for high-stakes software architecture decisions. Instead of asking a single chatbot for advice, developers convene a structured council of 7 specialized IBM Bob agents: Conservative, Reformer, Historian, Economist, Risk Officer, Engineer, and Judge. Each agent has an opposing mandate and must support its arguments with real repository evidence such as file:line citations, commit hashes, dependency impact, historical precedents, and economic trade-offs. The system runs a multi-round debate, including cross-examination between opposing agents, then produces a Decision Confidence Score and a committable Architecture Decision Record. QUORUM turns architecture decision-making from opinion-driven meetings into evidence-based, reproducible, and auditable engineering governance. It helps teams avoid costly technical debt, preserve institutional knowledge, and make better decisions before implementation — not after the damage is done. The project is built with IBM Bob custom modes, skills, slash commands, and a custom MCP server, plus a Next.js dashboard for visualizing repository health, council debates, DCS scores, evidence, and ADR history.
