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

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.
