Import: web-search, web-research, paper-overview, paper-search, paper-research Subagent: dominant-idea-identification, provocation-generation, consequence-following

Execution Guidance

Identify the dominant paradigm/assumption constraining the field, generate de Bono provocations (escape, reversal, exaggeration, distortion), follow consequences of each provocation to extract viable new framings.

Available Tactics

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

Tactic	When to use
lateral-escape	de Bono lateral escape sequence — identify dominant idea, generate provocations (escape/reversal/exaggeration/distortion), follow consequences to extract new framings. Breaks paradigm lock-in.

Available SOPs

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

SOP	When to use
consequence-following	Follow a provocation's logical consequences step by step to extract viable insights and new research directions.
deep-insight-provocation-generation	Generate de Bono lateral thinking provocations to challenge dominant ideas using escape, reversal, exaggeration, and distortion.
dominant-idea-identification	Identify dominant paradigms and assumptions constraining thinking in a research field.
