Differential Diagnosis Intent

Rank 2–3 interpretations of the user query (literal, examples, comparison) with probabilities before answering. Use when the ask is ambiguous. Scope boundary — this is query triage, not medical advice (high-stakes domains → `underwriting-risk-gate`); OODA orient log → `ooda-adaptive-context`.

Differential diagnosis of query intent

#34 · Domain: Clinical reasoning (method only) · Category: extension · Difficulty: 🟡 Medium

Core principle

List competing hypotheses, then pick — do not treat the first reading as the disease.

AI problem addressed

The model answers the most common parse and misses the intended one.

Implementation

  1. Literal reading
  2. Deeper intent (examples / how-to)
  3. Alternative (compare / decide) Assign rough probabilities; answer the top hypothesis; name the runners-up if close.

Boundaries

  • Prototype as prompt scaffold (🟢) before full pipeline middleware (🟡/🔴)
  • Category router: ai-transfer-extension
  • Catalog: ai-transfer-ecosystem-primer
  • Runtime plugin id: differential_diag
