 "title": "Generate four design candidates and pick the best",
 "page_title": "How to generate four design candidates and pick the best with DSH Lowtide",
 "summary": "Run four isolated sessions that each produce a full candidate, then choose one yourself.",
 "who": "A designer or engineer who needs several options for a title, idea, or design and wants to make the final call.",
 "problem": "One generated answer rarely gives enough options, and comparing them by hand takes time.",
 "outcome": "You get four complete candidates shown side by side with their costs, and you pick the one you prefer.",
 "steps": [
  "In the new-task modal, choose the sampling strategy and set the candidate count to 4.",
  "Describe the design problem clearly in the task prompt.",
  "File the task so it lands as pending review, then release it.",
  "Open the execution report once the run finishes.",
  "Compare the candidates side by side and choose one, since the machine makes no aesthetic judgment."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the lowtide plugin in DeepSeek Harness, run the sampling strategy with 4 candidates on the design problem described in <design brief file>. Expected output: four complete candidates shown side by side with their costs in the execution report. Verify that exactly four candidates appear and that each has a cost listed.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Beginner",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README says the sampling strategy costs about N times a single run, so four candidates cost roughly four times as much.",

 "lang": "typescript",
 "requirements": [
  "DeepSeek Harness (dsh) installed",
  "The lowtide plugin installed into dsh",
  "A model connected to your Harness",
