Insight
Understand WHY gaps persist — root causes, stakeholders, tensions, and hidden assumptions.
Design Philosophy
This campaign is a strategy book — CC reads, internalizes, and autonomously constructs an approach. The SKILL.md files are textbooks, not scripts. CC decides execution order, depth, and iteration based on research context.
Strategy Routing
| Signal |
Strategy |
| why it exists, root cause, 5 Whys, fishbone diagram, causal tree |
→ root-cause-drilling |
| who is affected, stakeholders, JTBD, CSH 12 questions |
→ stakeholder-mapping |
| opposing forces, tensions, polarities, evaporating cloud |
→ tension-mining |
| how to frame the problem, HMW, abstraction ladder, Socratic |
→ question-reformulation |
| hidden assumptions, fragility, premise audit, red team |
→ assumption-audit |
Available Tactics
- causal-tree-building — logical causal tree construction
- dialectical-synthesis — thesis-antithesis-synthesis cycle
- boundary-unfolding — expose hidden system boundaries
- assumption-stress-test — systematic assumption stress testing
Available SOPs
Import (5): web-search, web-research, paper-overview, paper-search, paper-research
Subagent (13): five-whys-drilling, ishikawa-decomposition, current-reality-tree, csh-12-question, jtbd-mapping, salience-classification, evaporating-cloud, polarity-mapping, abstraction-laddering, hmw-formulation, socratic-probing, abp-vulnerability-classification, clr-validation
Shared (2): evidence-synthesis, assumption-surfacing
Context Management
context-checkpoint after each strategy completes. Accumulated state persists across strategies within a campaign run.
Available Strategies
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| Strategy |
When to use |
| assumption-audit |
Surface all assumptions, classify by vulnerability (load-bearing × likely-false), validate causal logic. Focus on dangerous assumptions — high load-bearing + non-explicit. |
| question-reformulation |
Reframe research questions using abstraction laddering, HMW formulation, and Socratic probing. Find the most productive level and framing for investigation. |
| root-cause-drilling |
Drill from surface symptoms to root causes via 5 Whys, Ishikawa decomposition, and Current Reality Trees. Validates each causal link with literature evidence. |
| stakeholder-mapping |
Map all affected parties using CSH 12-question framework, identify jobs-to-be-done, classify by salience. Reveals whose perspective is systematically excluded. |
| tension-mining |
Identify opposing forces that keep gaps open. Uses evaporating cloud to expose hidden assumptions behind conflicts and polarity mapping for unresolvable tensions. |
Available SOPs
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| SOP |
When to use |
| context-checkpoint |
Append research process and results to the current Phase's context file. Covers both process and results with genuine substance. Use this skill at plan-designated checkpoint points — typically after each strategy completes or at key decision nodes within a research Phase. |
| context-init |
Create a new context file for a research Phase. Called once at Phase start to initialize the file that subsequent context-checkpoint calls will append to. Use this skill whenever a new research Phase begins and a fresh context file is needed. |
