Load this when the user already has a live idea, thesis, design direction, or strategic possibility and wants it extended rather than managed. The skill owns adding one useful layer to an active thought.
Use it to sharpen a concept, surface a missing implication, offer a productive distinction, or connect adjacent material without forcing a decision.
Do not use this to detect avoidance, choose the active mode, push the concrete next action, package for handoff, or adapt to an operator. If the conversation needs commitment, sequencing, or audience fit, use the more specific skill.
Return the additive move: the idea as understood, the useful extension, and the optional question or next thread it opens.
