Import: web-search, web-research, paper-overview, paper-search, paper-research Subagent: appreciative-discovery, reformulation-synthesis

Execution Guidance

Find positive deviants (cases that succeed despite the general problem), identify their enabling conditions, reframe the problem as "how to create more of what already works."

Available SOPs

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

SOP	When to use
appreciative-discovery	Search for positive deviants and extract transferable principles using Appreciative Inquiry.
reformulation-synthesis	Compile all problem reformulation analyses into a coherent report with a recommended new problem definition.
