Identifying the best way to approach a domain is often more difficult than the technical scaffolding itself. This skill surfaces frameworks from domain masters to prevent reinventing established processes and identify methodology gaps in existing work. It should be used as a brief initial check before brainstorming or evaluation begins.

When starting new work, identify the domain (e.g., Instruction Design, Code Review, or Knowledge Management) and consult the corresponding module in modules/ to discover experts and their frameworks. Select principles that fit your context and document them in a methodology brief before proceeding to creation.

For existing work, determine what the skill or hook is trying to teach and compare it against established frameworks. This gap analysis identifies opportunities to add missing principles or align terminology with recognized standards. Surgically add methodology rather than rewriting from scratch to maintain authority and effectiveness.
