# Delphi - Parallel Oracle Consultation Delphi launches multiple oracle agents in parallel with the **same prompt** to discover divergent paths of exploration. By giving identical starting points, each oracle independently explores the problem space, potentially discovering different clues, solutions, and insights that a single investigation might miss. ## When to Use Delphi - Complex questions with multiple valid approaches - Architectural decisions where different perspectives matter - Debugging mysteries with unclear root causes - Research questions requiring comprehensive coverage - Any situation where "wisdom of crowds" exploration benefits the answer ## Process ⚠️ **ARE YOU A COORDINATOR??** - Delphi is ran WITHIN **a single (docker)agent**- not as across several agents unless explicitly instructed. ### Step 1: Determine Oracle Count - If the user specifies a number, use that number - Otherwise, default to **3 oracles** (minimum) - For very complex questions, consider 4-5 oracles ### Step 2: Formulate the Oracle Prompt Create a single prompt that will be sent to ALL oracles identically. The prompt should: 1. **Core Question** - The specific question needing investigation 2. **Context** - All relevant information from the user 3. **Success Criteria** - What a good answer looks like 4. **Export Instructions** - Tell the oracle to export its full thinking **Critical:** Do NOT specialize or focus individual oracles on different aspects.
