arena

When to Use

A design or an approach has no obvious winner, and the user wants the attempts built. A throwaway experiment they will delete is bundled spike.

What to do

Give several attempts the same brief. Put each attempt in its own worktree with /worktree.

Read the attempts. Keep the best pieces. Delete the rest. Do not leave the losing trees as extra branches unless the user asked to see them.

This is not swarm. Swarm partitions the work. Arena duplicates the same brief.

Load shape if the data and the owning module are not named yet. Load principles if a rule should decide the winner.
