| description | Challenge system assumptions. Triage accumulated observations and tensions. Propose structural changes based on friction patterns. |

Activation
This skill activates the processor agent in rethink mode — the meta-cognitive phase of the 6R pipeline.
Delegates to: @ars-contexta:processor
Trigger
/rethink
- "challenge assumptions"
- "review observations"
- "what should change"
Behavior
- Read accumulated friction signals from
ops/observations/
- Identify patterns across observations — recurring themes, repeated friction points
- Propose structural changes:
- New MOCs needed (topic clusters emerging)
- Notes that should be split or combined
- Dimension adjustments (from ops/config.yaml)
- Schema additions or modifications
- Delegate structural changes to @ars-contexta:vault-architect with specific recommendations
- Archive processed observations that have been acted on
When to Run
- After accumulating 5+ observations
- When health reports show recurring WARN/FAIL patterns
- When the user feels the system isn't working well
- Periodically as part of system evolution
Output
A structured proposal of changes with research justification for each, delegated to vault-architect for execution.
