Reframe

Form a brief worth executing from the user's request and context. Preserve explicit requirements while considering stronger ways to achieve the outcome. Scale the pass to what is unsettled: a precise request may need only a concise confirmation. Reframing alone ends with the brief.

Find the better task

Read the request, settled decisions, and relevant project evidence. Separate the desired result from the proposed means or artifact. Keep alternatives beyond authorized scope labeled as proposals. Use Verify's acceptance guidance to resolve what context can establish and ask for material user decisions.

Consider the dimensions that can improve this task:

• Outcome: who needs what change, and what decision or activity does the requested artifact serve? Identify a higher-level outcome when it helps.
• Depth: which original inputs, expert methods, and instruments would make the work more rigorous? Name the method rather than an expert persona.
• Range: which adjacent field handles the same kind of problem, and which of its concrete techniques transfers here?
• Evaluation: how and by whom should the result be judged, which constraints must hold, and what finish line was requested? Use the acceptance guidance to propose suitable checks or qualitative criteria, leaving uncertainty and missing prerequisites explicit.

Choose the strongest coherent framing rather than expanding every dimension. Use Research for factual uncertainty worth investigating. Use experiments to settle empirical questions within the requested scope. Keep ambitious targets distinct from evidence that they have been achieved.

Return the brief

State the outcome and target, scope and preserved constraints, relevant methods, evaluation, and requested finish line. Include material assumptions and unknowns; explain meaningful framing changes. Proposed evaluation is not evidence that the result has been achieved. Reuse the existing format and task record; a clear request can be confirmed in a few sentences without a separate document.

When another workflow calls Reframe, return the brief to that owner. The owner continues execution; do not start another copy of its workflow. In particular, Goal Swarm consumes the brief and keeps ownership of the goal.

For a direct reframing request, return the brief in chat unless another format or destination was requested. If the user also requested execution, continue through the authorized workflow with that brief. Requested goal or swarm execution uses Goal Swarm, passing the formed brief so it can be reused. Reframing alone authorizes no implementation, native goal, schedule, or external action.
