name	rapid-domain-mastery
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

1. Read references/00-routing-and-boundaries.md.
2. Decide whether the corpus is strong enough for synthesis; if it is thin, label the weak spots with [Gap] and keep claims bounded.
3. 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.
