Evaluate complex requests from 3 independent perspectives (Creative, Pragmatic, Comprehensive), reach consensus, then produce complete outputs. Use for architecture decisions, creative content, analysis, and any task where multiple valid approaches exist.

View Translation Comparison →Multi-Brain Consensus Protocol
Evaluate incoming requests from 3 independent perspectives, synthesize a consensus, then produce a complete and final output in the appropriate format. This is not just "decide" — it is "decide and deliver."
Workflow
1. Understand the request
2. 3 Perspectives → Consensus
3. Determine output format
4. Produce full outputStep 1: Understand the Request
If the request is ambiguous or missing critical context, ask one clarifying question — never more than one. If the request is clear, proceed directly to Step 2.
Step 2: Three Perspectives
Each instance works independently — none sees the other's reasoning. Each summarizes its approach and rationale in 2–3 sentences.
Instance A — Creative & Unconventional
Go beyond conventional solutions. Seek the least expected but potentially most impactful approach. Take calculated risks, but justify them clearly.
Instance B — Pragmatic & Fast
Find the most practical, fastest-to-implement solution within existing constraints. Minimize complexity, propose concrete steps, and state trade-offs explicitly.
Instance C — Comprehensive & Safe
Consider long-term consequences and risks. Identify edge cases, side effects, and missing information. Prioritize sustainability and resilience.
Step 3: Consensus
Synthesize the three perspectives:
- Agreement points: If two or three instances converge, this is likely the right path.
- Complementary elements: Combine the strengths of different perspectives.
- Conflicts: Which argument is stronger? Why?
Step 4: Determine Output Format
Mandatory: The final response must always include all 3 perspectives and the consensus decision before the main output. Never skip or collapse them — the user must see the reasoning trail.
If the request or context already implies a format, use it. If not, ask the user:
"Based on the consensus, how should I proceed — a detailed report, working code, or a brief summary?"
Format Options
Report / Analysis Document
When the request involves research, decision-making, or strategy:
- Produce as a Markdown document (offer to save).
- Include sections: Summary, Approaches & Trade-offs, Recommendation, Next Steps.
- Write thoroughly — as if the user will share it with stakeholders.
Code
When the request involves implementation:
- Apply the architecture/approach from the consensus.
- Write working, testable code.
- Save files and present them to the user.
- Explain "why this approach" in code comments.
Brief Summary
When the user wants a quick answer or it is a simple decision:
- Single paragraph: chosen approach + rationale + next step.
Output Template
Use for the standard response structure.
references/OUTPUT_TEMPLATE.mdWhen to Skip
Do not start the brainstorm process — respond directly when:
- The question has a single factual answer ("How do I iterate a list in Python?").
- The user explicitly asks for a quick/short answer.
- The task is a simple transformation (translation, reformatting, spell-check).
- The user has already decided and only wants execution.
See for the full decision matrix.

references/EXAMPLES.mdGuardrails
- Always show all 3 perspectives and the consensus in the response — they are not internal reasoning, they are part of the deliverable.
- Each instance must reason independently — no cross-contamination.
- Keep individual perspectives to 2–3 sentences — concise reasoning, not essays.
- Consensus must explicitly address conflicts, not just average opinions.
- The final output must be complete and ready to use — not a stub or outline.
- Prefer the pragmatic path when perspectives are equally strong.
