compass-negotiate-tradeoffslisted

After compass-explore-branches has selected a winner, synthesizes a hybrid that combines strengths from 2-3 branches — but only presents it if it actually beats every source branch on at least one axis. Use when a single winner leaves value on the table and you want the best of several: "can we combine the best of these approaches", "what if we merged A and B", "the winner's good but I liked X from the runner-up". Runs strictly AFTER branch selection, never as a substitute for it.

# compass-negotiate-tradeoffs Synthesize a hybrid from the selected winner and 1-2 runners-up, then **let the guard decide whether it may be presented**. The precondition and the outperform gate are enforced in code. `GUARD="python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/compass.py"` ## Precondition **MUST NOT run before `compass-explore-branches` has already selected a winner.** This skill runs strictly after selection — never as a way to avoid choosing. The guard rejects the call if `explore_winner_selected` is false. ## Process 1. Build a **trade-off matrix**: for each source branch, what it gives up and what the hybrid preserves. 2. Name and describe the **hybrid approach**. 3. Score the hybrid on **Feasibility, Impact, Risk, each 1-10, against the same rubric** used in Explore. 4. State any **genuinely-exclusive conflict** the hybrid could not reconcile, and which side it picked. ## Validate (the outperform gate) ``` echo '{"explore_winner_selected":true, "sources":[ {"name":"Winner","feasibility":9,"impact":5,"risk":6}, {"name":"Runner","feasibility":5,"impact":9,"risk":6}], "hybrid":{"feasibility":8,"impact":8,"risk":7}}' | $GUARD negotiate - ``` **The guard refuses (non-zero exit) unless the hybrid outperforms EVERY source on at least one axis** (higher number on an axis = better; Risk is never inverted in compass). **If the guard refuses, do not present the hybrid** — report that no worthwhile hybrid exists and keep the selected winner. ## Outpu
