Multi-approach exploration workflow for discovering optimal solutions through parallel experimentation
Discovers optimal solutions by exploring 4-6 alternatives in parallel through prototyping, benchmarking, and multi-criteria evaluation. Use when facing complex decisions requiring evidence-based recommendations with implementation roadmaps.

/orchestr8:explore-alternatives "Best API design for our mobile app backend?"
Alternatives: REST, GraphQL, gRPC, tRPC, REST+GraphQL hybrid
Recommendation: GraphQL (best DX, reduces over-fetching by 40%)
/orchestr8:explore-alternatives "State management for complex React dashboard?"
Alternatives: Redux Toolkit, Zustand, Jotai, TanStack Query, XState, Hybrid
Recommendation: Zustand + TanStack Query (best performance, simple APIs)
