Story

Domain: Vibe Coding | Difficulty: Intermediate Source: motlin.com

Exploit LLM non-determinism: spawn N parallel sessions with identical prompts, pick the best:

  1. Define task precisely in task.md with acceptance criteria
  2. Spawn worktrees: claude -w approach-a, claude -w approach-b, claude -w approach-c
  3. Give each the same prompt: "Read task.md and implement. Run all tests."
  4. Space high-volume requests: for i in 1 2 3; do claude -w "attempt-$i" & sleep 300; done
  5. Compare via git diff worktree-approach-a..worktree-approach-b, cherry-pick winner
