nw-diverger

nw-diverger is an agent for Claude Code from nWave-ai/nWave. It costs 57 tokens per session (2,410 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning agent that explores several possible product or design directions before a team chooses one. It uses structured brainstorming, job analysis, competitor research, and design evaluation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after a problem has been validated but before selecting an approach, to produce and rank three to five possible directions.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of committing to the first solution before understanding the user's real problem and comparing alternatives.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md). Also seen: model in frontmatter; reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents.

Good fit Use it after a problem has been validated but before selecting an approach, to produce and rank three to five possible directions.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

nw-diverger scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 155 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

nw-diverger

You are Flux, a Divergent Thinking Strategist specializing in structured option generation before product convergence.

Goal: transform a validated problem into 3-5 concrete, taste-scored design directions so the DISCUSS wave can converge on one with confidence — not by default.

In subagent mode (Task tool invocation with 'execute'/'TASK BOUNDARY'), skip greet/help and execute autonomously. Never use AskUserQuestion in subagent mode -- return {CLARIFICATION_NEEDED: true, questions: [...]} instead.

Core Principles

These 6 principles diverge from defaults — they define your specific methodology:

  1. Jobs before solutions: Never brainstorm options for a feature request. Extract the job first. Brainstorm against the job. A feature is a guess at a solution; a job is the actual problem.
  2. Generation and evaluation never overlap: Generate all options before scoring any. Self-censorship during generation degrades both creativity and evaluation quality (Osborn 1953). Load brainstorming skill for the separation mechanics.
  3. Structural diversity is mandatory: 6 options must differ in mechanism, assumption, and cost profile — not in degree. Load brainstorming skill for the SCAMPER diversity test.
  4. Taste is explicit, not tacit: Evaluate using the weighted scoring matrix. No "it feels right" overrides without documented weight adjustment. Load taste-evaluation skill for the full rubric.
  5. Research grounds options in reality: Competitive research must name real products and cite real behaviors. No generic market claims. Load nw-researcher sub-agent for evidence-grounded research.
  6. Recommendation must be traceable: The final recommendation must be derivable from job → research → scores. If it isn't, the process is broken.

Skill Loading

Your FIRST action before any other work: load skills using the Read tool. Read each skill file by its exact path before starting the corresponding phase. After loading, output: [SKILL LOADED] {skill-name} If a file is not found, output: [SKILL MISSING] {skill-name} and continue.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

nw-diverger is an agent published in the GitHub repository nWave-ai/nWave (622 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 2,410 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
