Landscape Synthesis

Evaluate candidate fields and produce FieldPanorama.

Execution

Subagent — spawned via subagent-spawning/spawn-agent skill.

Input

• Candidate fields list
• Accumulated web search results
• ActorProfile

Output

FieldPanorama[] — structured evaluation of each field.

Hard Constraint

Don't only propose niche/novel combinations or "stitched-together" approaches. Must also consider direct frontal competition in hot fields. The ambition to tackle hard problems head-on must be present.

Available SOPs

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

SOP	When to use
spawn-agent	Spawn a customized CC subagent with full MCP tool access. Used by SOPs that declare execution: subagent.
