analogy-extraction

The analogy-extraction skill systematically discovers transferable structural principles by scanning multiple source domains, abstracting their core mechanisms, mapping structural correspondences to a target domain, and validating that analogies operate at deep relational rather than surface levels. Use this skill when seeking novel solutions or frameworks by learning from how different fields solve analogous problems, requiring at least five scanned domains and two validated deep analogies to meet minimum standards.

# Analogy Extraction

Extract transferable structural principles from source domains.

## Stages

### Stage 1: Source Identification

Identify candidate source domains using domain-scanning SOP. Evaluate each for structural similarity depth (surface/structural/systemic).

### Stage 2: Abstraction

For each promising source, extract the abstract principle using abstraction-extraction or biological-strategy-extraction SOP. Strip domain-specific details to reveal the transferable mechanism.

### Stage 3: Structural Mapping

Map source structure to target domain. Identify: corresponding elements, missing elements (gaps), extra elements (opportunities). Use structural-mapping SOP.

### Stage 4: Transfer Validation

Assess mapping quality: Is the analogy surface-level (shared labels) or deep (shared relational structure)? Use analogy-quality-assessment SOP. Only deep analogies warrant transfer.

## Minimum Yield

| Metric | Floor |
|--------|-------|
| Source domains scanned | ≥5 |
| Abstractions extracted | ≥3 |
| Structural mappings completed | ≥3 |
| Validated deep analogies | ≥2 |
