# Cross Pollination Structure

> Borrow a foreign genre skeleton (contract, tech spec) and plant the current content into it. Use when the native outline is weak. Scope boundary — graft a specialist passage → `orchard-graft-transfer`; multi-model blend → `wine-blending-fusion`.

# Cross-pollination of genre structure

**#45** · **Domain:** Plant breeding / rhetoric · **Category:** advanced · **Difficulty:** 🔴 High

## Core principle

Pollen from another variety sets fruit the parent plant would not.

## AI problem addressed

Default blog/essay shape is used even when the job is a spec or a pact.

## Implementation

Detect: contract/agreement → legal skeleton; spec/architecture → tech-spec skeleton.
Apply headings from the donor genre; keep the user's facts. Do not invent legal effect.

## Boundaries

- Prototype as prompt scaffold (🟢) before full pipeline middleware (🟡/🔴)
- Category router: **`ai-transfer-advanced`**
- Catalog: **`ai-transfer-ecosystem-primer`**
- Runtime plugin id: `cross_pollination`
