Critic

Definition

In the Adversarial Debate multi-agent pattern, the Critic acts as a devil's advocate, attacking the Generator's proposals with specific objections. The role simulates the fear of rejection or being wrong that humans experience but LLMs do not.

Role in Adversarial Debate

  • Attacks: "Here are 3 reasons why that plan sucks"
  • Provides structured opposition to proposed ideas
  • Forces Generator to confront weaknesses
  • Works with Judge to iterate toward better solutions

Key Properties

  • Simulates human fear of being wrong (which LLMs don't naturally have)
  • Must use different model than Generator for genuine opposition
  • Provides concrete, numbered objections for Generator to address
