appreciative-reframing

Appreciative Reframing identifies positive deviants and enabling conditions within a problem domain, then reframes challenges from deficit-based to asset-based perspectives using Appreciative Inquiry methodology. Use this skill when researching organizational, social, or systemic issues where discovering existing success patterns and working solutions would be more generative than focusing on failures or gaps.

# Appreciative Reframing

Instead of "what's wrong?", ask "what's already working and why?"

## Available SOPs

**Import:** web-search, web-research, paper-overview, paper-search, paper-research
**Subagent:** appreciative-discovery, reformulation-synthesis

## Execution Guidance

Find positive deviants (cases that succeed despite the general problem), identify their enabling conditions, reframe the problem as "how to create more of what already works."

## Available SOPs

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

| SOP | When to use |
| --- | --- |
| appreciative-discovery | Search for positive deviants and extract transferable principles using Appreciative Inquiry. |
| reformulation-synthesis | Compile all problem reformulation analyses into a coherent report with a recommended new problem definition. |
