outlier-swarm

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.
