Weave Brainstorm & Refine

Generate independent originals from adversarial participants, then refine them through judge-weave-incorporate cycles. Host-native sub-agents are the default; separate model CLIs are available by explicit choice.

When to Use

You want the best of both worlds: creative divergence then convergent refinement
You want to explore a problem space broadly, then hone in on the best solution
You need a high-quality result and are willing to spend tokens on multiple passes

Key Features

--workers=subagents|model-clis: Use host-native sub-agents by default or explicitly select separate model CLIs
Phase 1 (Brainstorm): Independent originals from each participant, optional --variants=N
Transition gate: You choose which originals enter refinement
Phase 2 (Refine): Iterative judge-weave-distribute cycle over --passes=N
Full rationale chain from brainstorm through every refinement pass
--judge=host|round-robin: Host judges every pass, or rotate judging across participants

The Pipeline

Brainstorm: Each participant generates independent original responses
Review: All originals presented — you pick which ones to refine
Refine: Judge picks the best, weaves in strengths from runners-up, redistributes to all participants
Repeat: Each pass improves the woven result until convergence or passes exhausted

How to Invoke

Run the /weave:brainstorm-and-refine command with your prompt. The command handles both phases, the transition gate, and artifact persistence.
