Sub-Agents as Parallel Design Perspectives Pattern

• Entity ID: ent-20260419-d35247dc51ae
• Type: workflow
• Scope: shared
• Status: active
• Aliases: parallel perspectives pattern, scaff-flow pattern, perspective sub-agents

Description

Community-discovered workflow using sub-agents not for parallel task execution but for parallel perspective generation on a single design question. Main agent writes docs/discussion/.md, spawns three sub-agents (LLM engineer, software architect, end-user viewpoints) who each save docs/discussion/--.md, then synthesizes with all three as fresh input. Cycle until consensus. Exploits sub-agent isolation — fresh sub-agents give uncontaminated responses free of the main agent's accumulated sycophancy.

Key claims

• Parallel-perspectives pattern resolves design debates in two rounds
• Sub-agent isolation eliminates context drift

Relations
