Multi-Perspective Exploration

Spawn 3-5 parallel agents, each with a distinct disciplinary lens and epistemic prior, to independently investigate a research question. Then synthesise their findings into a structured comparison that surfaces agreements, tensions, and blind spots.

The core insight: a single-perspective analysis inherits the biases of that perspective. Deliberately introducing cognitive diversity — grounded in real disciplinary traditions — produces more robust research designs.

When to Use

• Early-stage research design: "Is this the right question? Is this the right method?"
• When choosing between competing identification strategies
• When a paper needs to convince reviewers from different traditions
• Before committing to a theoretical framework
• When you suspect your approach has blind spots

When NOT to Use

• Quick feedback — use /devils-advocate (single-perspective adversarial)
• Literature search — use /literature (discovery, not deliberation)
• Generating new questions — use /scout generate (this skill evaluates, not generates)
