SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a rigorous, repeatable framework for deep topic exploration by coordinating parallel agents, skeptical critique, and multi-perspective synthesis to produce battle-tested conclusions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • 4-phase workflow: Explore, challenge, synthesize, and act to structure complex research.
  • Multi-perspective analysis: Leverages up to five expert viewpoints to surface patterns and tensions.
  • State persistence and outputs: Maintains context across steps and yields clear recommendations with confidence levels.
  • Use Case: When deciding on a strategic direction or performing thorough topic research that must withstand scrutiny.

Quick Start

Use the brainstorm-skills command to begin Phase 1 exploration on a topic of interest.

FAQPage Schema
How do I conduct multi-perspective research for complex decision-making?

Multi-perspective research for complex decision-making is structured through a 4-phase workflow: explore, challenge, synthesize, and act. This approach coordinates parallel agents to evaluate expert viewpoints, surface tensions, and produce actionable recommendations with confidence levels.

What is the best way to brainstorm strategic decisions that withstand scrutiny?

The best way to brainstorm strategic decisions that withstand scrutiny is using an iterative research framework with built-in skeptical critique. This method challenges assumptions during a dedicated phase before synthesizing findings, ensuring conclusions are battle-tested and robust.

Can I use parallel agents to synthesize research across different viewpoints?

Yes, you can use parallel agents to synthesize research across different viewpoints. The workflow leverages up to five expert perspectives simultaneously, maintaining state persistence across steps to surface patterns and tensions before loading the final results.

How do I start the explore phase for deep topic research?

To start the explore phase for deep topic research, initiate the brainstorming command on your topic of interest. This first phase coordinates parallel agents to begin iterative exploration, setting the foundation for the subsequent challenge, synthesize, and act phases.

Does this brainstorming workflow provide confidence levels for recommendations?

Yes, the brainstorming workflow provides explicit confidence levels for its recommendations. After completing the multi-perspective synthesis, it outputs actionable recommendations alongside these confidence metrics to support your final strategic decisions.

When should I not use a multi-agent workflow for research synthesis?

You should not use a multi-agent workflow for research synthesis when dealing with simple topics that lack complex trade-offs. This approach is specifically designed for tough decisions requiring deep evaluation, robust challenge, and multi-perspective analysis to yield valid conclusions.
