alternative-futures

Alternative Futures generates 2-4 competing scenarios that reinterpret the same evidence base to challenge an artifact's dominant narrative. Use this skill when exploring how different analytical frameworks or assumptions applied to identical evidence could produce fundamentally different conclusions, helping identify which observable indicators would distinguish between plausible alternatives.

# Alternative Futures

Generates multiple competing scenarios to challenge the dominant narrative.

## Execution

Subagent — spawned via subagent-spawning/spawn-agent.

## Why Subagent

Alternative generation requires creative divergent thinking without anchoring on the artifact's conclusions. Isolated context prevents confirmation bias.

## Input

- **artifact**: The artifact whose conclusions are being challenged
- **evidence_base**: The evidence available (same evidence, different interpretations)

## Output

- **alternatives**: 2-4 divergent scenarios, each internally consistent
- **discriminators**: Observable indicators that would distinguish between alternatives
- **plausibility_ranking**: Relative plausibility of each alternative vs. the artifact's conclusion
