Alternative Futures
Generates multiple competing scenarios to challenge the dominant narrative.
Execution
Subagent — spawned via subagent-spawning/spawn-agent.
Why Subagent
Alternative generation requires creative divergent thinking without anchoring on the artifact's conclusions. Isolated context prevents confirmation bias.
Input
- artifact: The artifact whose conclusions are being challenged
- evidence_base: The evidence available (same evidence, different interpretations)
Output
- alternatives: 2-4 divergent scenarios, each internally consistent
- discriminators: Observable indicators that would distinguish between alternatives
- plausibility_ranking: Relative plausibility of each alternative vs. the artifact's conclusion
