Explorer/Challenger Brainstorming
Run structured brainstorming sessions using paired agent teams. Each pair has an explorer (generates ideas) and a challenger (plays devil's advocate). Multiple pairs run in parallel with different remits, producing debate-tested proposals.
Default Team Structure
Three pairs, each with a different lens:
| Pair | Explorer | Challenger | Remit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | explorer-quickwins | challenger-quickwins | Low-effort, high-impact improvements |
| 2 | explorer-highvalue | challenger-highvalue | Substantial features worth significant investment |
| 3 | explorer-radical | challenger-radical | New directions and paradigm shifts |
The user may customize remits, number of pairs, or focus areas. Adapt the team structure to match.
