Description
Improve a plan by asking a subagent to generate an alternative perspective, then comparing and combining results. Use when a plan already exists in the conversation and the user wants a second opinion, broader coverage, or to catch blind spots.

Triangulate plan

Generates an independent second opinion on an existing plan and merges the best of both.

Workflow

1. Locate the existing plan

Find the plan produced earlier in this conversation. If none exists, abort.

2. Extract the brief

From the existing plan, distill a brief containing only:

  • The original ask
  • Decisions made (clarifications, answers, steers)
  • Relevant resources used (file paths, symbol names, URLs)

Do not include: implementation steps, tests to write, or any detail that wasn't in the original request.

3. Delegate to a subagent

Use the brainstorm skill to generate an independent plan from the same brief:

Use brainstorm skill. Formulate a plan. Do not write a Markdown file — reply with the plan itself. Brief: {brief contents}

4. Compare and recommend

Compare the new plan against the existing one. Assess:

  • Where they agree (reinforces confidence)
  • Where they differ (highlights alternatives or blind spots)
  • What to adopt from each

Present the assessment for the user to decide.

Guidelines

For subagent, use oracle agent type if available.
