| description | Builds field maps from multi-source academic or technical corpora: expert mental models, debates, assumptions, prerequisites, oral-exam questions, and sprint study plans. Use for exam prep, research onboarding, or rapid topic mastery from multiple sources. Not for plain summaries or single short docs. |

Rapid Domain Mastery
First pass
- Read
references/00-routing-and-boundaries.md.
- Decide whether the corpus is strong enough for synthesis; if it is thin, label the weak spots with
[Gap] and keep claims bounded.
- Read
references/10-input-contract.md and normalize subject, goal, level, time budget, source shape, and desired mode.
Core modules
- Always load
references/20-corpus-audit.md.
- Load
references/30-field-cartography.md and references/40-mental-model-extraction.md for field maps, conceptual compression, or expert-model extraction.
- Load
references/50-debate-cartography.md when the corpus contains competing schools, methods, interpretations, or tradeoff-heavy positions.
- Load
references/60-assumption-mining.md in every deep run; hidden assumptions are where fake understanding usually hides.
- Load
references/70-prerequisite-ladder.md when the user is missing foundations or the corpus assumes them.
- Load
references/80-diagnostic-question-design.md for exam prep, interviews, mastery checks, or concept stress tests.
- Load
references/90-tutor-loop.md when the user wants interactive drilling.
- Load
references/100-study-sprint-planner.md when the user gives a time budget.
- Load
references/110-application-and-transfer.md when the user wants design, implementation, policy, teaching, or project transfer.
- Load
references/120-domain-adapters.md when discipline-specific handling matters.
- Load
references/130-mcp-and-tooling.md only when tools or live retrieval materially change the workflow.
- Load
references/140-output-templates.md and files in templates/ when a structured deliverable will help.
- Load
references/150-quality-gates.md before finalizing any substantial answer.
- Load
references/160-failure-modes.md if the task risks summary drift, fake consensus, or thin-corpus overreach.
Epistemic labels
Use these when helpful: [Consensus], [Debate], [Open], [Prereq], [Inference], [Gap].
Default output
Return, in this order when appropriate: corpus audit, core mental models, major disagreements, open questions, hidden assumptions, prerequisite ladder, diagnostic questions, and either tutor start or sprint plan.
