What problem does it solve?
This Skill finds unconventional, high-leverage approaches that mainstream research and coaching often miss by orchestrating focused, multi-angle investigations to surface validated contrarian insights.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Five-agent orchestration: Runs Mainstream Mapper, Contrarian Hunter, Cross-Domain Thief, First Principles Assassin, and Failure Archaeologist in parallel to generate diverse perspectives.
- Mission context integration: Loads a member's mission-context to tailor searches and prompts, with graceful fallback to generic framing.
- Prior-knowledge and vault discovery: Attempts Smart Connections → Glob/Grep vault search before doing external web research.
- Synthesis & Save: Produces a convergence-focused report highlighting overlaps of surprise and saves results to a vault or project research folder.
- Use case: Use when you want to question conventional wisdom on pricing, onboarding, marketing channels, or product decisions and find evidence-backed alternatives.
