MAGI EX
Multi-model brainstorming panel. Three teammates explore a question in parallel, each backed by a different model family, then the lead consolidates their proposals for the user.
- Scientist -- reasons directly as Claude Opus (no external dispatch)
- Mother -- delegates to OpenAI Codex via
mcp__codex__codexMCP tool - Woman -- delegates to Google Gemini via
geminiCLI
User Question
<user_question> $ARGUMENTS </user_question>
Process
1. Clarify
If the question is underspecified, use AskUserQuestion to nail down purpose, constraints, and success criteria. Skip if already clear and actionable.
- Ask questions one at a time to refine the idea
- Prefer multiple choice questions when possible, but open-ended is fine too
- Only one question per message
2. Setup
Read the personality and reference files, then spawn all teammates in parallel.
Files to read:
Create team with TeamCreate using name magi-{topic} (e.g., magi-auth-strategy).
Spawn all 3 teammates in a single message (3 parallel Agent calls with team_name set):
| Teammate | name |
subagent_type |
Prompt includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scientist | scientist |
general-purpose |
MAGI-1.md personality + question (reasons directly as Opus) |
| Mother | mother |
general-purpose |
MAGI-2.md personality + codex.md (dispatches to Codex MCP) + question |
| Woman | woman |
general-purpose |
MAGI-3.md personality + gemini.md (dispatches to Gemini CLI) + question |
Include all clarified context in each spawn prompt -- teammates have no conversation history.
3. Parallel Exploration
The lead's role is coordination only:
- Wait for teammates to send proposals via
SendMessage - Forward any teammate clarifying questions to the user via
AskUserQuestion, noting which teammate (and model) asked. Never answer on the user's behalf -- only the user answers.
4. Consolidate + Present
Collect all proposals, then:
- Deduplicate similar proposals (attribute to all teammates/models that proposed it)
- Group by theme if many proposals
- Present each option with:
- Which teammate(s) and model(s) proposed it (e.g., "Scientist [Opus]", "Mother [Codex]")
- Trade-off analysis from each perspective
- Who tagged it as their top pick and why
- Ask the user to select an option via
AskUserQuestion - Ask via
AskUserQuestionwhat to do next:- Write a plan -- teardown, then handoff to
writing-plans - Debate -- another round of critique (see below)
- Done -- teardown, no further action
- Write a plan -- teardown, then handoff to
5. Debate (optional, user-triggered)
Only runs if the user requests it. Can be repeated.
- Broadcast the consolidated option list to all 3 teammates via
SendMessage - Each teammate critiques the proposals through their model (Scientist reasons directly; Mother and Woman follow Debate Mode in their reference files)
- Collect updated stances and re-present to the user (back to step 4)
6. Teardown
Tear down only when the user selects Write a plan or Done.
shutdown_requestto each teammate- Wait for all shutdown approvals
TeamDelete
7. Handoff (write a plan path only)
After teardown, invoke writing-plans skill with the chosen option(s) as context.
