ApertureOscillation

Identify design tensions by oscillating analysis scope across narrow tactical, wide strategic, and synthesis passes. This reveals hidden discrepancies between local feature design and overall system architecture, validating component alignment with the system vision.

Scope oscillation is an analysis technique that examines the same architectural question at different zoom levels to reveal hidden coherence issues. By applying narrow, wide, and synthesis passes, it exposes design tensions invisible at any single scope.

Perform a design analysis by running the skill with a tactical target and strategic context. It executes three structured passes to assess feature design, identify local versus system-level discrepancies, and validate overall system coherence.

Architecture coherence checking requires no external dependencies, relying solely on internal scripts. Users must provide input formatted as a tactical target and strategic context to properly execute the scope oscillation analysis.

Use scope oscillation instead of standard architecture reviews when you need to validate that a specific feature serves both its own tactical purpose and the broader strategic system vision. It specifically surfaces design tensions invisible at a single zoom level.

A key limitation is that scope oscillation requires both a tactical target and strategic context as input. Without properly defined architectural parameters for both levels, the analysis cannot accurately synthesize design tensions or assess system coherence.
