Custom Advisor Template

Copy this structure to add an advisor to the bench. Save custom advisors to .agents/advisors/<kebab-name>.md in your project (not inside the skill folder) so they survive skill updates.

Two kinds of custom advisors, two grounding standards:

• Public figures (a famous marketer not on the bench): every framework and position must trace to something they published or said — research before writing, cite sources, follow the same grounding rules as the built-in dossiers.
• Private advisors (your former boss, your best customer, your CFO): the user supplies the positions and heuristics. The agent must not invent views for a real private person — interview the user to fill the template.

Seating a custom advisor: mention them by name when convening ("seat my advisor Maria on this council"). The agent loads the file from .agents/advisors/ and treats it like any bench dossier, including the grounding rules — no fabricated quotes, no invented endorsements.
