Generates 3-5 divergent design directions through JTBD analysis, competitive research, structured brainstorming, and taste evaluation before convergence. Use when the team has a validated problem but hasn't chosen a solution approach.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# NW-DIVERGE: Structured Divergent Thinking Before Convergence **Wave**: DIVERGE (between DISCOVER and DISCUSS, optional) | **Agent**: Flux (nw-diverger) | **Command**: `/nw-diverge` ## Overview Execute DIVERGE wave through Flux's 4-phase workflow: JTBD analysis|competitive research|structured brainstorming|taste-filtered evaluation. Transforms a validated problem into 3-5 concrete, taste-scored design directions so DISCUSS can converge on one with confidence. DIVERGE is optional. Brownfield features with a clear direction may skip it (see skip checklist in design spec). New products and pivot decisions benefit most from structured divergence. ## Interactive Decision Points ### Decision 1: Work Type **Question**: What type of work is this? **Options**: 1. New product -- no prior solution exists, full divergence needed 2. Brownfield feature -- existing product, exploring approach alternatives 3. Pivot / redesign -- existing feature being reconsidered from scratch 4. Other -- user provides custom context ### Decision 2: Research Depth **Question**: How deep should competitive research go? **Options**: 1. Lightweight -- 3 competitors, known market …

How to install
mdr add nwave-ai/nwave/nw-diverge@sha256:70b9da265d91eac0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260407.db3038c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
