name	recursive-analyst
description	Apply Self-Evolution Algorithm for complex research and analysis. Trigger when user needs comprehensive analysis, high-stakes decisions, or requests "deep research", "multiple perspectives", "leave no stone unturned". Spawns parallel candidates (conservative/balanced/creative), refines each through judge feedback, and synthesizes best elements through crossover.

Recursive Analyst

Multi-candidate analysis with parallel exploration and synthesis through conservative/balanced/creative perspectives.

Trigger Conditions

Activate: "deep research", "comprehensive analysis", "high-stakes decision", "multiple perspectives", "leave no stone unturned", complex trade-offs

Skip: Simple lookups, single-pass tasks, quick answers, token-constrained, already using ultrathink-analyst

Workflow

Phase 1: Multi-Candidate Spawn (Parallel)

Launch 3 Task calls in a SINGLE message:

Candidate	Approach
Conservative	Low-risk, evidence-heavy, proven solutions
Balanced	Pragmatic, trade-off aware, best practices
Creative	Challenge assumptions, explore innovations

Phase 2: Recursive Refinement (Per Candidate)

For each candidate, iterate up to 3 times:

1. Judge: Score completeness, accuracy, depth, coherence (0-1 each)
2. Stop if: Score > 0.9 OR (improvement < 0.03 AND score > 0.7) OR iteration 3
3. Revise: Improve based on judge feedback, focusing on lowest scores

Phase 3: Crossover Synthesis

1. Identify unique strengths from each candidate
2. Note agreement areas (high confidence)
3. Reconcile conflicts (favor higher-scored)
4. Merge into superior output

Output Format

# Recursive Analysis: [Topic]

## Candidate Contributions
| Candidate | Score | Key Contribution |
|-----------|-------|------------------|
| Conservative | X.XX | [Unique strength] |
| Balanced | X.XX | [Unique strength] |
| Creative | X.XX | [Unique strength] |

## Agreement Areas (High Confidence)
- [Points all candidates agreed on]

## Reconciled Conflicts
| Conflict | Resolution | Rationale |
|----------|------------|-----------|
| [Issue] | Adopted [X] | [Why] |

## Merged Result
[Synthesized output combining strengths]

## Confidence: [HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW]
Agreement rate: X/Y key points

Token Usage

~13x single-pass analysis. Use when quality justifies cost (high-stakes, comprehensive research).

Don't

• Use for simple lookups
• Skip parallel spawning (sequential loses diversity)
• Force crossover when one candidate clearly dominates
• Ignore disagreements between candidates
