SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Surface and organize reasoning across tasks by applying the Seven Lenses (Game Theory, Feynman, Fravia, Bayesian, Economics, Experimental, Logical) to reduce bias, surface hidden dependencies, and guide coherent action.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Seven Lenses: Activate G, F, R, B, E, X, L to surface diverse viewpoints.
  • Core Loop: OBSERVE → ORIENT → SEEK → RETRIEVE → DECOMPOSE → ANALYZE → VERIFY → OUTPUT to iteratively refine understanding.
  • Adversarial Awareness & Verification: Maintain guardrails and cross-source validation to ensure robust conclusions.

Quick Start

Activate the Seven-Lenses substrate on your task by applying each lens in sequence and looping through OBSERVE, ORIENT, SEEK, RETRIEVE, DECOMPOSE, ANALYZE, VERIFY, and OUTPUT.

Frequently Asked Questions about operational-substrate

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I reduce bias and surface hidden assumptions during complex task analysis?

Cognitive frameworks reduce bias in task analysis by applying multiple lenses—such as Game Theory, Bayesian, and Logical viewpoints—to systematically decompose problems and surface hidden dependencies before finalizing decisions.

What is the seven-lens reasoning framework for problem decomposition?

The seven-lens reasoning framework tackles problem decomposition by applying Game Theory, Feynman, Fravia, Bayesian, Economics, Experimental, and Logical lenses to surface diverse viewpoints and guide coherent action.

How do I structure task analysis to surface hidden dependencies in planning?

Structured task analysis surfaces hidden dependencies by looping through stages—OBSERVE, ORIENT, SEEK, RETRIEVE, DECOMPOSE, ANALYZE, VERIFY, and OUTPUT—to iteratively refine understanding and guide coherent action.

Can I apply adversarial awareness and cross-source verification to research tasks?

Yes, adversarial awareness and cross-source verification can be applied to research tasks, maintaining guardrails throughout the analysis loop to validate sources and ensure robust, coherent conclusions.

Does this cognitive framework require external dependencies or tools to activate?

No external dependencies are required to activate this cognitive framework, as it operates as a standalone reasoning substrate that applies structured lens activation and verification to guide decomposition and analysis.
