What problem does it solve?
When planning a new feature or change, teams often jump to the first idea without exploring alternatives. This Skill forces structured divergence: it generates multiple materially distinct solution paths for a framed problem, including the mandatory "do not build" and "use something off-the-shelf" options, without recommending any of them.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Divergent Option Generation: Produces 3 to 5 materially distinct options covering different effort levels, always including "do not build" and "use something ready" paths.
- Structured options.md Output: Writes a standardized Markdown document with effort, legacy impact, reversibility, and core assumptions for each option, all marked with a 🟡 PLANNED seal.
- Legacy-Aware Analysis: When working on legacy projects, reads existing module documentation so each option states its impact on what already exists.
- Use Case: After framing a problem with the reversa-framer agent, run this Skill to open the solution space before the Arbiter agent converges on a decision, ensuring no viable path is overlooked.
Quick Start
Ask the agent to generate solution options for the currently framed problem in the active ideation session and write them to options.md.
