Turn a settled answer into real next steps and run them through the tools your host already has. Acts only with your go-ahead, one step at a time.

Bring a messy pile of ideas together into one coherent answer, with a receipt you can check (done = true / R=1).

Open a question into its full fan of distinct angles, as different as possible, on purpose, before you pick one.

Join two or more things that already hold into one. Check they hold together, and hand back the combined trinket, or name the seam that won't take.

Explores ONE angle of a problem deeply and reports a tight, evidence-backed case for that single angle. Spawned up to 7 times in parallel by /recommend to cover the 7-grid, where each instance owns one point.

Judges how well a set of explored angles fit together. Given the angles (and their cases), returns an honest pairwise coherence matrix (0..1) and reads the gate (which trios would lock, whether the set can reach done = true). Feeds the converge engine its coherence judgment.

Use when a settled answer needs to become real action and the user wants the steps put into motion through the tools they already have ("make it happen", "set this up", "do it", "get this going", "book it"). Turns the locked answer into the smallest set of concrete steps and runs them through the host's connected tools, asking before anything that writes or sends. Use act after converge or recommend has produced an answer. It acts, so it always shows the plan and gets a go-ahead first.

Use when several competing ideas, options, or hypotheses are already on the table and a single coherent answer is needed. Collapses a noisy pile of competing ideas into one coherent answer and returns a checkable receipt (done = true / R=1), or an honest partial when it can't. Reach for this at decision points or when finalizing a plan. Use converge when the options are already in play; if you'd have to generate the options yourself, use recommend; if the problem is still wide open, use explore first.

Use at the very start of a problem, when a question is fresh and its full space of distinct angles should be opened before anything is decided. Produces up to 7 genuinely different framings, as different as possible on purpose, each its own angle rather than a variation of one idea. Reach for this when someone says "what are our options" or "brainstorm this", or jumps to one answer too early. Explore lays out the options and stops; if the user wants you to make the call, use recommend; if the options are already gathered and need resolving, use converge.

Use when the user points at their own existing context (a folder, a doc, a pile of notes, a repo) and wants to start from it rather than from scratch ("here's my stuff, take it from here", "use what's in this directory", "pick up where I left off"). Reads their context, translates it onto the 7-grid, shows how it was read, then converges.

Use when two or more things that each already hold need to become one, and the real question is whether they hold together ("do these two plans fit", "merge these answers", "can we run both", "join these"). Treats each as its own cluster and converges across the seam, returning one combined answer (done = true / R=1) or the honest seam that won't take plus the best partial. Use glue to join pieces that already stand; use converge for one fresh pile of ideas, and recommend when you should make the call yourself.
