Dialectical Synthesis
Thesis-antithesis-synthesis cycle for tension resolution.
Operations
- evaporating-cloud — expose hidden assumptions behind opposing needs
- polarity-mapping — map unresolvable tensions as polarities to manage
Available SOPs
Subagent: evaporating-cloud, polarity-mapping
Import: paper-search, web-research
Execution Guidance
Model conflict as evaporating cloud (expose hidden assumptions behind opposing needs). If tension is a genuine polarity (not resolvable), map it with polarity management framework. Distinguish solvable conflicts from inherent polarities.
Minimum Yield
<HARD-GATE>
- evaporating clouds: >= 1
- assumptions exposed: >= 3
- polarity maps (if applicable): >= 1
</HARD-GATE>
Available SOPs
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| SOP | When to use |
|---|
| deep-insight-paper-search | AI-powered paper summary and search. Import of literature-engine/literature-search skill. AI summary level — cite as "AI-extracted" not "paper states". |
| deep-insight-web-research | Deep web research with full page fetching via Apify. Import of web-browsing/web-research skill. Must fetch full page — no conclusions from previews. |
| evaporating-cloud | Model conflicts as Goldratt's Evaporating Cloud — expose hidden assumptions behind opposing needs to dissolve the conflict. |
| polarity-mapping | Map unresolvable tensions as Johnson polarities — 4 quadrants (positive/negative of each pole), early warnings, action steps for managing rather than solving. |
