# Diverge with a fresh Codex context Use a fresh subagent to reduce anchoring from the lead agent's conversation history. Same brainstorm-then-select discipline as `$diverge`; both contexts run Codex, so this buys a clean context rather than cross-model diversity — never describe it as an independent model family. Read [`../diverge/references/creative-preference-optimization.md`](../diverge/references/creative-preference-optimization.md) only when the user asks for the rationale or when refining the creativity criteria. ## Gate delegation Delegate only when the user explicitly invokes `$diverge-codex` or asks for a subagent, independent context, or delegated brainstorm. If the skill was loaded implicitly without such a request, run the ordinary `$diverge` workflow locally. ## Phase 1: brief the brainstormer Extract the task, hard constraints, existing artifacts, and acceptance criteria. Spawn one fresh Codex subagent with only the task-local context it needs, withholding your own preferred solution or likely implementation. Give it this contract: ```text Generate 3–5 conceptually distinct approaches to TASK. Do not implement. Label every approach [Novel], [Surprising], [Diverse], or [Conventional]. Include at least one [Novel] and one [Surprising] approach. For each, provide: 1. Core mechanism — one sentence. 2. How it works and why it differs — two or three sentences. 3. Main tradeoff — one sentence. Do not restate one idea with different vocabulary. Return only the
