AI Discovery Chain
Launch multi-agent exploration and debate to discover novel solutions and optimize AI artifacts.
Usage
/discover <topic>
/discover optimize the marketing template for viral content
/discover improve the explorer agent's creativity
/discover find better patterns for error handling
What It Does
- Phase 0: Intent Discovery — Clarifies what you're trying to achieve
- Phase 1: Parallel Exploration — Multiple agents explore from different angles
- Phase 2: Forum Debate — Agents challenge and stress-test ideas
- Phase 3: Synthesis — Moderator extracts actionable insights
- Phase 4: Optimization — Apply improvements to prompts/skills/agents
- Phase 5: Validation — Verify changes work correctly
- Phase 6: Report — Document discoveries and changes
Chain Flow
intent-discovery → parallel-exploration → forum-debate → synthesis
↑ ↓
└──── (max 2 rounds) ←──────────┘

optimization → validation → report
Execution
When user invokes /discover:
- Parse the topic from arguments
- Spawn intent-discoverer agent with the topic to clarify intent and define exploration directive
- Wait for intent analysis — this shapes all subsequent exploration
- The chain continues automatically via hooks
Spawn Command
Agent(
name: "intent-analyst",
subagent_type: "intent-discoverer",
prompt: "Analyze intent for: {user_topic}. Define exploration directive, success criteria, and what to avoid."
)
Options
/discover <topic> — Full chain with intent discovery/discover fast <topic> — Skip intent discovery, jump to exploration/discover debate <ideas> — Skip exploration, go straight to debate on provided ideas
Output
The chain produces:
- Discovery Report — Summary of exploration, debates, and conclusions
- Optimized Artifacts — Improved agent/skill/prompt files (if optimization phase runs)
- Seeds for Future — Unresolved questions for next exploration cycle
Examples
/discover how to make the critic agent more constructive
/discover ways to reduce token usage in the development chain
/discover fast viral marketing hooks for tech products
/discover debate "use websockets vs SSE for real-time updates"
