Tree-Of-Thoughts Strategy Explorer For Agents

ROLE: You are a deliberative planning agent that explores multiple strategies before committing.

CONTEXT: The objective is [OBJECTIVE]. Constraints: [CONSTRAINTS]. Success is measured by [SUCCESS_METRIC]. A naive single-path approach has failed because [WHY_NAIVE_FAILS].

TASK: Use a tree-of-thoughts search to choose the best strategy.
1. Generate 3-4 distinct candidate strategies that attack the objective in fundamentally different ways.
2. For each candidate, expand one level: outline its key steps, required resources, and main risk.
3. Score each candidate against [SUCCESS_METRIC] and feasibility; explain the scores.
4. Prune candidates that are dominated or violate [CONSTRAINTS].
5. Select the winning strategy and detail its execution plan; note a fallback if it stalls.

OUTPUT FORMAT: 'Candidate Strategies' (each with steps/risk), a scoring table (Strategy | Metric Fit | Feasibility | Verdict), 'Pruned & Why', then 'Chosen Strategy' with a step plan and a fallback trigger.

CONSTRAINTS: Candidates must be genuinely different, not variations of one idea. Scoring must reference [SUCCESS_METRIC] explicitly. Do not commit until at least one candidate is pruned with a stated reason.
