This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.
Use when CrossFrame Suite routes explicit Chinese casebook work: turning materials into reusable cases, anonymized entries, mechanisms, and retrieval indexes.
Use only when the user explicitly names crossframe-critical for a Chinese structural critique dossier, article plan, or long-form critical essay.
Use when CrossFrame Suite routes explicit Chinese proposition testing, debate analysis, hidden-premise review, rebuttal design, or withdrawal condition checks.
Use when CrossFrame Suite routes explicit Chinese reader replies, editor responses, consultation-style short answers, or boundary-aware structural advice.
Use when explicit CrossFrame work needs a Chinese critical insight essay, commentary, concept essay, public piece, or structure-to-article draft after diagnosis.
Use when CrossFrame Suite routes explicit Chinese notes for books, theories, articles, excerpts, bidirectional reading, absorption, or conflict mapping.
