negentropy-lens Guide
A decision-support framework that evaluates systems, architectures, and strategies through the entropy (decay) vs negentropy (growth) lens, while surfacing tacit knowledge gaps. Use this skill whenever the user is making architecture decisions, evaluating system designs, reviewing technical approaches, choosing between options, auditing existing systems, or planning strategies. Also trigger when the user explicitly asks to "apply the negentropy lens", mentions "entropy", "negentropy", "tacit knowledge", "knowledge engine", or "flip the switch". Nudge activation when you detect the user is at a decision point — even if they haven't asked for this lens — by briefly noting the entropic/negentropic dimension before proceeding.
