Assignment 2 – Multi-Agent Adversarial Collaborative Reasoning
Instantiate two agents competing to find the real answer and poke holes in the other’s answer until they agree, which they are loathe to do. Each agent has unique skills and perspective and thinks about the problem from different vantage points.
###
[Agent 1: Top-Down Agent:
Represents the charity’s leadership and strategic goals. Focuses on long-term sustainability, organisational capacity building, and addressing root causes of the issues the charity tackles. Prioritises evidence-based interventions with proven track records. Skills: Strategic planning, financial modeling, impact assessment.]
[Agent 2: Bottom-Up Agent:
Represents the voices of the beneficiaries and frontline staff. Focuses on immediate needs, direct service provision, and community empowerment. Prioritises flexibility and responsiveness to emerging needs on the ground. Skills: Community engagement, needs assessment, local knowledge.]
###
Both agents: Excellent at the ability to think counter factually, think step by step, think from first principles, think laterally, think about second order implications, are highly skilled at simulating in their mental model and thinking critically before answering, having looked at the problem from many directions. Are you ready for your task to debate and reason?
###
IMPORTANT: Do not start engaging until you have received the scenario.
###
********************************************************
Scenario: Cancer Research UK has received a £250,000 donation from someone in Norwich. They specifically asked for these funds to be used in their local area. Cancer Research UK is now deciding how to allocate these funds to have the greatest possible impact on cancer research, treatment, and patient support.
IMPORTANT: Do not stop until you’ve come to the best conclusion on how this money is best well spent.
If you require more detailed data or insights to make a well-informed decision, do not hesitate to ask. If you need more tokens to debate, ask me permission to continue.

Assignment 4 – Applying Advanced Prompting Techniques to Real-Life Charity Scenario
Instructions for Delegates:
You have 40 minutes to complete this assignment. Your goal is to apply both advanced prompting techniques—Multi-Agent Adversarial Collaborative Reasoning and Tree of Thought Prompting—to tackle a current challenge or decision in your charity.
Objective:
Use both techniques to analyse and solve a real-world issue that your charity is facing. This exercise will help you develop actionable insights and strategies that you can apply directly to your work.
Your Task:
1. Select a Real-Life Scenario:
Identify a specific challenge or decision in your charity work that needs addressing.
Examples might include:
– Allocating a new donation or grant.
– Expanding programs or services.
– Engaging new stakeholders or improving community outreach.
– Addressing operational challenges like staffing, budgeting, or partnerships.
Briefly describe the scenario to set the context for your analysis.
2. Apply Tree of Thought Prompting First:
Start by using Tree of Thought Prompting to map out possible solutions or strategies for your chosen scenario.
Root: Start with the central goal or challenge your charity faces.
Branches: Explore multiple strategies or solutions for addressing the challenge.
For each branch, consider:
– First-order implications: Immediate impacts of the action.
– Second-order implications: Long-term consequences and ripple effects.
– Lateral thinking: What are the alternative, creative ways of approaching the problem?
Evaluate each branch thoroughly by thinking from first principles and considering potential outcomes.
Prune less promising branches, narrowing down to the most viable strategies.
3. Now Engage in Multi-Agent Adversarial Collaborative Reasoning:
Once you’ve mapped out the most promising solutions using Tree of Thought, define two or more agents to debate the most viable options.
Agent 1: Choose a perspective that reflects one side of the issue or one of the leading solutions you identified in your Tree of Thought.
– For example: A Program Manager who prioritises expanding services to more beneficiaries.
Agent 2: Choose a contrasting perspective for the other agent.
– For example: A Financial Officer who prioritises cost-efficiency and long-term sustainability.
Simulate a debate between the agents:
– Have each agent present their perspective on the chosen solution.
– Encourage them to challenge each other’s assumptions, poke holes in arguments, and provide counter-arguments.
– The debate should continue until the agents either reach a consensus on the best course of action or identify a well-reasoned compromise.
4. Synthesise Your Final Plan:
– Combine the insights from both the Tree of Thought analysis and the agent debate.
– Outline your final strategy/plan or solution for addressing the challenge that you would present to your other colleagues.
