steps:
  # Step 1: Claude Thinking - Problem Framing
  - name: claude-thinking
    tool: openai_reason  # Using GPT-5 Mini for structured thinking
    input:
      query: |
        Analyze and structure the brainstorming request: ${query}

        Provide:
        1. Domain and framing
        2. Key stakeholders
        3. Core constraints and goals
        4. Success criteria
        5. Potential approaches to explore

  # Step 2: Initial Ideas Generation
  - name: initial-ideas
    tool: openai_brainstorm
    input:
      problem: "${initial_analysis}"
      style: "systematic"
      quantity: 5
      constraints: |
        Based on the framing:
        ${initial_analysis}

        Generate initial ideas for: ${query}
    saveToFile: true
    maxTokens: 8000
    output:
      variable: initial_ideas
    promptTechnique: "innovative_solutions"

  # Step 3: Expand Ideas with Deep Thinking
  - name: expand-ideas
    tool: kimi_thinking
    input:
      problem: |
        Expand and build upon these ideas:
        ${initial_ideas}

        Original query: ${query}
      approach: "step-by-step"
      maxSteps: 10

    promptTechnique: "what_if_speculation"

  # Step 4: Mid-Flow Verification
  - name: mid-verification
    tool: verifier
    input:
      query: |
        Verify the feasibility and soundness of these ideas:

        Original Analysis: ${initial_analysis}

        Initial Ideas: ${initial_ideas}

        Expanded Ideas: ${expanded_ideas}

        Assess:
        1. Feasibility (can this actually be done?)
        2. Soundness (does the reasoning hold up?)
        3. Completeness (are we missing critical aspects?)
        4. Potential flaws or risks

  # Step 5: Research Validation
  - name: research-validation
    tool: perplexity_research
    input:
      topic: |
        Find the "RESEARCH VALIDATION TOPICS" section in the text below and research ONLY those specific topics in depth.

        ${expanded_ideas}

        If no explicit "RESEARCH VALIDATION TOPICS" section exists, research:
        - Latest industry data and statistics
        - Case studies and real-world implementations
        - Expert opinions and academic research
        - Recent developments and trends

        For query: ${query}
      depth: "deep"
      questions:
        - "What are the latest industry statistics and trends?"
        - "What real-world implementations or case studies exist?"
        - "What do experts and researchers say?"

  # Step 6: Contrarian View / Devil's Advocate
  - name: contrarian-view
    tool: grok_reason
    input:
      problem: |
        Challenge these ideas using first-principles thinking:
        ${expanded_ideas}

        Verification feedback:
        ${mid_verification}
      approach: "first-principles"
      useHeavy: false
      context: |
        Research findings: ${research_findings}

        Be a constructive skeptic. Find:
        1. Hidden assumptions
        2. Potential failure modes
        3. Alternative approaches not considered
        4. Edge cases and risks

  # Step 7: Final Synthesis
  - name: final-synthesis
    tool: gemini_brainstorm
    input:
      prompt: |
        Initial Analysis: ${initial_analysis}

        Initial Ideas: ${initial_ideas}

        Expanded Ideas: ${expanded_ideas}

        Verification: ${mid_verification}

        Research: ${research_findings}

        Critical Analysis: ${contrarian_analysis}

        Synthesize all insights into a comprehensive, actionable recommendation for:
        ${query}

        Include:
        1. Executive Summary
        2. Recommended Approach (with reasoning)
        3. Implementation Roadmap
        4. Risks and Mitigation
        5. Success Metrics

        You are synthesizing 6 rounds of multi-model analysis.
        Focus on actionable insights, not just summaries.
      maxRounds: 2

  # Step 8: Final Verification
  - name: final-verification
    tool: grok_reason
    input:
      problem: |
        Perform final validation of the synthesized recommendations:

        ${final_synthesis}

        Original query: ${query}
      approach: "analytical"
      context: |
        Verify:
        1. Internal consistency
        2. Alignment with original query
        3. Practical feasibility
        4. Completeness

        Provide confidence score (0-100%) and final verdict.
