Challenge

Challenge

Multi-angle adversarial review via isolated Hydra workers. Each worker attacks the same input using a different analytical method, with no visibility into the others' reasoning.

When to use

• User says "challenge this", "stress-test this", "poke holes in this", "what am I missing", "argue against this", or similar
• User has been discussing a topic and wants independent critical review
• Any argument, proposal, opinion, decision, or design that needs pressure-testing

Step 1: Extract

Summarize the argument/proposal/opinion from the current conversation into a neutral, complete brief. Include:

• The core claim or proposal
• Key supporting reasons the user or you have discussed
• Any constraints or context that are relevant

Do NOT editorialize or signal which parts you think are weak. The summary must be fair — biased summaries defeat the purpose.

Step 2: Spawn 4 workers

Use hydra spawn to launch 4 parallel workers. Each worker receives the same summary but a different methodology prompt. Inherit the current terminal's provider via --worker-type.

Worker prompts

Each worker prompt must include, in this order:

1. The mandatory preamble below (verbatim)
2. The full summary from Step 1
3. The methodology instructions below (one per worker)
4. Instruction to write findings to result.json atomically

Mandatory preamble (prepend to every worker prompt verbatim)
