competitive-planning

Evaluate competing architecture plans by generating two parallel implementation proposals from distinct lenses, then using a structured judge to compare feasibility, risk, and token cost to select or merge the winning plan.

Surfacing design trade-offs for high-risk features requires dual-dispatch planning, where two sub-agents produce competing plans from the same context to highlight different architectural approaches and constraints.

You can customize evaluation criteria by overriding default optimization goals and evaluation weights, allowing the judge to tailor architectural decisions and plan selection to specific project requirements.

Use competitive planning for architecture decisions, major refactors, and high-risk features where design trade-offs matter significantly and require a neutral judge to evaluate parallel implementation plans.

Competitive planning applies across orchestrator contexts and sdd-propose integration, coordinating parallel plan generation and a judge's verdict to finalize critical architectural changes.

A structured judge selects a winning implementation plan by comparing feasibility, risk, token cost, and spec alignment between two competing proposals, ultimately producing a final selected or merged plan.
