# Expert Pool System
|
|
|
|
When running alignment dialogues, the Judge creates domain-appropriate expert pools from which panels are sampled.
|
|
|
|
## Two-Phase Architecture (RFC 0047)
|
|
|
|
| Phase | Actor | Action |
|
|
|-------|-------|--------|
|
|
| **Pool Design** | Judge | Creates 15-30 domain-specific experts with tiers and relevance |
|
|
| **Panel Sampling** | MCP Server | Samples N experts using weighted random selection |
|
|
|
|
## Pool Design (Judge Responsibility)
|
|
|
|
The Judge reads the RFC/topic and designs experts appropriate to the domain:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"expert_pool": {
|
|
"domain": "Investment Analysis",
|
|
"experts": [
|
|
{ "role": "Value Analyst", "tier": "Core", "relevance": 0.95, "focus": "Intrinsic value, margin of safety" },
|
|
{ "role": "Growth Analyst", "tier": "Core", "relevance": 0.90, "focus": "TAM expansion, revenue acceleration" },
|
|
{ "role": "Risk Manager", "tier": "Core", "relevance": 0.85, "focus": "Downside scenarios, tail events" },
|
|
{ "role": "ESG Analyst", "tier": "Adjacent", "relevance": 0.70, "focus": "Environmental, governance factors" },
|
|
{ "role": "Contrarian", "tier": "Wildcard", "relevance": 0.30, "focus": "Challenge consensus, find crowding" }
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Tier Distribution
|
|
|
|
| Tier | Pool % | Panel % | Selection Behavior |
|
|
|------|--------|---------|-------------------|
|
|
| **Core** | ~25% | ~33% | Almost always selected (high relevance weights) |
|
|
| **Adjacent** | ~40% | ~42% | High probability, related expertise |
|
|
| **Wildcard** | ~35% | ~25% | Fresh perspectives, rotation candidates |
|
|
|
|
## Panel Sampling (MCP Server)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
blue_dialogue_create(expert_pool=[...24 roles...], panel_size=12, rotation="wildcards")
|
|
→ Weighted random sample: higher relevance = higher selection probability
|
|
→ For N=12: ~4 Core, ~5 Adjacent, ~3 Wildcard
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Rotation Modes
|
|
|
|
| Mode | Behavior | Use Case |
|
|
|------|----------|----------|
|
|
| `none` | Fixed panel all rounds | Standard deliberation |
|
|
| `wildcards` | Core/Adjacent persist, Wildcards resample | Bring fresh perspectives each round |
|
|
| `full` | Complete resample each round | Maximum diversity (experimental) |
|
|
|
|
## Pastry Naming
|
|
|
|
Experts are assigned pastry names for identification:
|
|
Muffin, Cupcake, Scone, Eclair, Donut, Brioche, Croissant, Macaron, Cannoli, Strudel, Beignet, Churro, Profiterole, Tartlet, Galette, Palmier, Kouign, Sfogliatella, Financier, Religieuse
|
|
|
|
## Domain-Specific Pools
|
|
|
|
The Judge designs pools appropriate to each domain. Example domains:
|
|
|
|
**Investment Analysis**: Value Analyst, Growth Analyst, Risk Manager, Portfolio Strategist, ESG Analyst, Quant Strategist, Technical Analyst, Behavioral Analyst, Income Analyst, Macro Economist, Credit Analyst, Contrarian
|
|
|
|
**System Architecture**: Platform Architect, Security Engineer, Database Architect, SRE Lead, API Designer, DevOps Engineer, Performance Engineer, Network Engineer, Cost Analyst, Compliance Officer
|
|
|
|
**Product Development**: Product Manager, UX Designer, Frontend Architect, Customer Advocate, Data Analyst, Backend Engineer, QA Lead, Technical Writer, Marketing Strategist
|
|
|
|
## Expert Prompt Template
|
|
|
|
Each expert receives their context:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
You are {name} 🧁, a {role} in an ALIGNMENT-seeking dialogue.
|
|
Tier: {tier} | Relevance: {relevance}
|
|
Focus: {focus}
|
|
|
|
Your contribution is scored on PRECISION, not volume.
|
|
One sharp insight beats ten paragraphs.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Pool Persistence
|
|
|
|
Pools are stored per-dialogue:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
{output_dir}/
|
|
├── expert-pool.json ← Full pool definition (Judge writes)
|
|
├── round-0/
|
|
│ ├── panel.json ← Sampled panel for this round
|
|
│ └── *.md ← Agent responses
|
|
└── scoreboard.md
|
|
```
|
