systems-thinking-plugin

Targeted review of failure modes, hidden dependencies, limits, and operational burden in a specific architecture or design. Use this when you need a focused risk assessment without running a full complexity mapping — to identify single points of failure, blast radius concerns, hidden coupling, and operational survivability gaps. Produces a Hidden Risk Summary with dependency risk matrix, compound failure scenarios, and prioritized remediation actions. Ask for an "architecture risk review", "failure mode analysis", or "dependency risk assessment" to use this workflow.

Surface hidden complexity, risks, dependencies, and likely project blow-up points in a proposed design or architecture. Use this when you have architecture docs, design proposals, or technical specs and need to identify where operational, cost, networking, or implementation complexity is hiding before committing resources. Produces a Complexity Heat Map and Hidden Risk Summary with source-anchored evidence and severity ratings. Ask for a "complexity map", "hidden risk analysis", "blow-up point review", or "complexity audit" to trigger this workflow.

Split large or varied source material across parallel subagents for extraction before synthesis. Use this when documentation exceeds what can be processed in a single pass — typically more than 5 dense documents or 50+ pages — or when material spans multiple distinct domains. Produces structured Context Packets that can feed into complexity-mapper, decision-brief, or architecture-risk-review. Ask to "shard documents", "split for parallel extraction", or "break this into digestible chunks" to use this workflow.

Package extracted findings into a compact, decision-ready format for engineers, managers, or review bodies. Use this after running complexity-mapper, architecture-risk-review, or context-sharding to synthesize findings into a structured brief with options, evidence, risks, and recommended next steps. Produces a Decision Brief with evidence summary, top risks, unresolved questions, and actionable recommendations. Ask for a "decision brief", "decision package", or "summarize findings for a decision" to use this workflow.

Generate high-quality first drafts by adapting prior proven work to new problems. Use this when you have successful prior designs, implementations, or architectural patterns and need a strong starting point for a new but related problem. Produces a Pattern Remix Draft that maps reused elements to their sources, flags carried assumptions, identifies divergence risks, and provides implementation steps. Ask to "remix a prior design", "adapt existing work", or "create a first draft from prior patterns" to use this workflow.
