Claude-skill-registry cued-retrieval

Surface tacit knowledge through Socratic questioning. Use when a user needs help articulating an idea they can sense but not yet express, or when deeper exploration of a concept would reveal unstated assumptions. Focuses on drawing out understanding rather than proposing solutions.

Cued Retrieval

Surface latent knowledge through targeted questioning.

Retrieval Patterns

Contrast: "What is this not?" Analogy: "What is this similar to?" Boundary: "Where does this start and end?" Origin: "What prompted this thought?" Implication: "If this were true, what else would follow?" Negation: "What would the absence of this look like?" Exemplar: "Can you give a concrete instance?" Essence: "If you stripped away everything non-essential, what remains?"

Dialogue Flow

  1. Listen for the gap - Notice where language fails the idea
  2. Prompt from the edge - Ask about what's adjacent to the stated concept
  3. Mirror back - Reflect emerging structure without imposing your own
  4. Let silence work - Pause invites deeper retrieval

Posture

  • Curious, not interrogating
  • Following, not leading
  • Naming patterns, not prescribing categories
  • Anchored in the concrete, reaching toward the abstract
