Cross-team architecture review

Where are two teams making conflicting decisions? Two decisions, overlapping scope, opposite polarity - caught before they ship.

Side by side: token usage, with and without Paperbase

~143k tokens saved · 84% less work for the agent

Without Paperbase

~170k tokens

  1. Read each team's recent design docs and decision records.
  2. Attach decisions to their teams manually.
  3. Search for overlapping scope by comparing terminology.
  4. Infer polarity from tone and wording.
  5. Discover the conflict when the systems collide in production.

With Paperbase

~27k tokens

  1. Pull recent Decisions across teams with their scope.
  2. Ask Paperbase to detect overlapping Decisions and compare polarity.
  3. Surface the conflict with both rationales and the teams involved.
  4. Pull the interactions where each decision was made.

Agent prompt

You are scanning for cross-team conflicts before the architecture review.

Using Paperbase:

1. Pull Decisions made in the last {{days}} days across all teams.
2. Ask Paperbase to detect overlapping scope: decisions that touch the same system, interface, or data.
3. For each overlap, compare the polarity of the two decisions - do they agree or conflict?
4. Pull the principle and rationale behind each side.

Output:

- Every pair of decisions with overlapping scope.
- For each: the conflict (if any), the two rationales, the teams, and where they will collide if both ship.
- A one-line recommendation for the review.

Placeholders in {double_braces} are inputs the agent will ask for at runtime. Give the prompt to any agent connected to Paperbase, and the rest grounds in your own memory graph.
