Ensemble Solving
When you're facing decisions with legitimate tradeoffs like picking a rate limiter implementation or designing an API, this spawns three parallel subagents with different constraints (simplicity vs performance vs extensibility) and picks the winner based on a weighted rubric. Costs about 4x the tokens of a single attempt, so skip it for obvious stuff like syntax questions or bug fixes. The real value is seeing the alternatives summary afterward. You learn why the token bucket beat the sliding window for your specific context, and when you might want the other approach instead. Best for architecture decisions and code you'll maintain long term.

Ensemble Problem Solving
Generate multiple solutions in parallel by spawning 3 subagents with different approaches, then evaluate and select the best result.
When to Use
Activation phrases:
- "Give me options for..."
- "What's the best way to..."
- "Explore different approaches..."
- "I want to see alternatives..."
- "Compare approaches for..."
- "Which approach should I use..."
Good candidates:
- Architecture decisions with trade-offs
- Code generation with multiple valid implementations
- API design with different philosophies
- Naming, branding, documentation style
- Refactoring strategies
- Algorithm selection
Skip ensemble for:
- Simple lookups or syntax questions
- Single-cause bug fixes
- File operations, git commands
- Deterministic configuration changes
- Tasks with one obvious solution
What It Does
- Analyzes the task to determine if ensemble approach is valuable
- Generates 3 distinct prompts using appropriate diversification strategy
- Spawns 3 parallel subagents to develop solutions independently
- Evaluates all solutions using weighted criteria
- Returns the best solution with explanation and alternatives summary
