Key Info

Libertee is a free plugin for Claude Code that enhances structured thinking through multi-perspective AI sessions using proven facilitation methods.

Libertee is a free plugin for Claude Code that turns your AI into a structured thinking partner. It uses proven facilitation methods — the same ones that work in real-world workshops — and runs them as multi-perspective AI sessions. You ask a question, and multiple AI agents take on distinct roles: one argues for, one against. One dreams, one reality-checks. One maps risks, another finds opportunities.

You don't need to be a developer. Claude Code is a free tool from Anthropic. Install it, add Libertee with one command, and start thinking — with /libertee:six-hats "your question" or any of the 9 methods below. That's it.

Why This Beats Thinking Alone

When we think alone, we think in patterns. The same patterns. Every time. Ask Claude a question and you get a polite, balanced answer that considers all angles — but from one voice. Libertee is different: each perspective is held by a separate agent with strict constraints on what they can and cannot think about. The Red Hat is forbidden from justifying feelings with logic. The Black Hat is forbidden from suggesting solutions. This consistent separation is the point — it produces sharper, more honest perspectives that don't self-censor.

What’s Included

9 Thinking Methods:

Proven approaches from facilitation practice, each with distinct roles and a clear process.

3 Meta-Cognitive Checks:

Reflect on the thinking itself — identify biases, framing effects, and structural blind spots.

Adversarial DebateAdversarial Debate

Adversarial Debate

Adversarial Debate is a structured three-round debate format that forces opposing arguments without agreement, useful for binary decisions and uncovering hidden arguments.

Six Thinking Hats

Six Thinking Hats is a structured method for exploring a topic from multiple perspectives—facts, feelings, creativity, opportunities, and risks—sequentially to enhance decision-making.

TRIZTRIZ

Wise Crowds

Wise Crowds is a method for gathering diverse stakeholder perspectives to analyze strategic questions, highlighting convergence, divergence, and blind spots for informed decision-making.

Meta-Cognitive ChecksMeta-Cognitive Checks

Meta-Cognitive Checks

Meta-Cognitive Checks provide three reflective methods (Bias Check, Frame Check, Method Check) to analyze cognitive biases, question framing, and method limitations after any decision-making session.

Composition

Methods can be chained into sequences. Run a thinking method, then reflect on it with a meta-check. Or chain multiple methods for deeper exploration.

For example:

  • Decision quality: Explore perspectives → Stress-test with debate → Check your biases
  • Innovation with guard rails: Dream big → Anticipate failure → Check the framing
  • Full reflection: Run any method → Bias Check → Frame Check → Method Check

Inspired by Liberating Structure Strings — the idea that individual structures become more powerful when composed into sequences.

Features

Logic Modes — All methods support alternative evaluation logic:

  • Binary: Pick a side (default)
  • Tetralemma: The one, the other, both, neither — or maybe it’s the wrong question entirely
  • Polarity: Map the tension instead of resolving it

Join Mode — Step into one of the roles yourself. Bring your real emotions, domain knowledge, or conviction. The other perspectives are still AI-facilitated.

Brief Mode — Same structure, same perspectives, fewer words. Ideal when you need a quick pulse rather than a deep dive.

Session Context — Libertee picks up what you discussed before the command. Had a conversation about technical debt? The session will generate perspectives grounded in that context.
