Multi-Mind - Subagent-Based Collaborative Analysis

Execute a multi-specialist collaborative analysis using independent subagents.

Phase 1: Specialist Assignment & Research

Analyze the topic and determine 4-6 specialist roles needed. Then launch parallel subagents using the Task tool with subagent_type: "general-purpose":

Example specialists (adapt to topic):

• Technical Specialist: implementation, architecture, performance, technical challenges
• Business Strategy Specialist: market dynamics, competitive landscape, ROI, positioning
• User Experience Specialist: user needs, usability, adoption barriers, human factors
• Risk/Security Specialist: vulnerabilities, failure modes, compliance, mitigation
• Historical/Trends Specialist: precedents, evolution, emerging patterns

Specialist Selection Criteria:

• Unique domain expertise relevant to the topic
• Different methodological approaches (quantitative/qualitative, theoretical/practical)
• Varied temporal perspectives (historical, current, future-focused)
• Distinct risk/opportunity sensitivities
• Independent information sources

Each subagent prompt should include:

• Clear specialist role and perspective
• Specific research focus areas
• Instruction to use WebSearch for latest information
• Request for concrete findings, not general observations

Phase 2: Cross-Pollination Round

After receiving all specialist reports, launch a second round of subagents that:

1. Review all other specialists' findings (pass summaries in prompt)
2. Identify intersections with their domain
3. Challenge assumptions from their perspective
4. Build on insights while maintaining distinct viewpoint
5. Flag blind spots in other analyses

Phase 3: Synthesis & Iteration

For each round (default 3, user-configurable):

• Collect all subagent outputs
• Synthesize without homogenizing perspectives
• Identify emerging patterns and gaps
• Determine focus areas for next round
• Launch new subagent tasks with refined prompts

Anti-Repetition Mechanisms

Moderator Responsibilities (you, orchestrating):

• Track what has been thoroughly covered vs. needs deeper exploration
• Redirect specialists away from rehashing previous points
• Push for new angles, deeper analysis, broader implications
• Synthesize without homogenizing distinct perspectives

Specialist Guidelines (include in prompts):

• Build on previous round insights rather than restating
• Focus on what your unique expertise adds
• Search for information others likely missed
• Challenge emerging consensus from your specialist perspective
