Individual skill
arena
Spawn N parallel candidates at the same task, pick a base, graft the strongest parts of the losers into it. Use for $arena, 'arena this', 'throw it in the arena', or when one attempt at a non-trivial artifact would lock in the wrong shape.

# Arena
Delegation and optional capabilities follow `../poteto-mode/references/codex-agent-runtime.md`.
Fan out N parallel attempts at the same task. Read every candidate end to end. Pick the strongest as the base. Graft the best ideas from the others into it. Verify the synthesized result.
