We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

2 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈1

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 1

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

biomimetic-transfer

Purpose

Translate a target problem into biological functions, find analogous living systems, extract causal strategies, and transfer them back.

Input contract

mode_contracts:
  biologize-and-discover: &biomimetic_input
    required: [target_problem, target_function]
    optional: [biological_search_space, compatibility_constraints]
    constraints: [function_must_be_stated_independently_of_the_target_implementation]
  BioTRIZ: *biomimetic_input

Execution protocol

Do not perform called SOP operations inline; each loaded SOP owns its contract and thresholds.

  1. You MUST load skill biologize-problem to biologize the problem.
  2. You MUST load skill discover-biological-analog to discover biological analogs.
  3. You MUST load skill extract-biological-strategy to extract the causal strategy.
  4. You MUST load skill instantiate-transfer to instantiate the target transfer.
  5. You MUST load skill evaluate-compatibility to check compatibility. If a viable transfer requires composing mechanisms from multiple biological analogs rather than applying one causal strategy, consider conceptual-blending as the next tactic. Deviation: BioTRIZ mode may branch during strategy extraction, but all five checks remain required.

Mode branches

  • biologize-and-discover: translate function, search biological analogs, then extract mechanism.
  • BioTRIZ: use biological contradiction/principle framing during strategy extraction before transfer.

Output contract

mode_contracts:
  biologize-and-discover:
    produces: [biological_question, biological_candidate_set, biological_strategies, design_principles, technical_solutions]
    delta_fields: [findings, hypothesis_updates, uncertainties, decisions, open_questions]
  BioTRIZ:
    produces: [contradiction, biotriz_principles, biological_case_mapping, biological_strategies, design_principles, technical_solutions]
    delta_fields: [findings, hypothesis_updates, uncertainties, decisions, open_questions]

Thresholds and quality gates

  • B: analogs solve the same function; strategy includes mechanism and conditions; target compatibility is explicit.

Failure and counterexamples

Reject organism-by-appearance analogies, transfers without mechanism, and proposals violating target constraints.

Provenance map

  • creative-ideation/biomimicry, biologize-and-discover, biotriz, biological-analogy: resolved/concept only when exact v3 node is found.
  • Status: creative-ideation/biomimicry, biologize-and-discover resolved; biotriz, biological-analogy concept.

Preserved source criteria ledger

  • Preserve biologize -> discover -> extract strategy -> transfer workflow and BioTRIZ branching.

Context checkpoint / Delta notes

Append function translation, analog evidence, mechanism, transfer assumptions, and compatibility failures.

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
