analogy
Forced Analogy / Structural Transplant — map the problem onto a structurally similar system from a distant domain (immune system, air-traffic control, restaurant kitchen, jazz ensemble) and transfer its mechanisms back. Use when a solution works but feels derivative, when the industry playbook is exhausted, or when a system in nature or another trade already solves this shape of problem. Triggers include "analogy", "forced analogy", "how would a hospital/kitchen/airport handle this", "transplant from another industry", "structurally similar system". Do NOT use for analytical work like debuggin
Why this score
This repo hosts 10 skills, so its 326 stars are split between them (about 33 each) for scoring.
Popularity score: 58/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank
Security
Scanned Oct 20, 2026 at commit bde713dcbb9b, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.
None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.
A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
