Example prompts:

1. Survey the area yourself first: key terms, entry points, and the overall
   architecture.
2. Spawn `n` subagents (default 10) with distinct angles on the area, including a
   few deliberately unconventional ones for variance. Give each a self-contained
   brief and ask for conclusions with `file:line` evidence.
3. Reconcile their findings, keeping disagreements visible, and use them for
   what the user asked — in plan mode, the plan.
