Observe
Sustained neutral pattern recognition across systems without urgency or intervention. Maps naturalist field study methodology to AI reasoning: framing the observation target, witnessing with sustained attention, recording patterns, categorizing findings, generating hypotheses, and archiving a pattern library for future reference. Use when a system's behavior is unclear and action would be premature, when debugging an unknown root cause, when a codebase change needs its effects witnessed before further changes, or when auditing own reasoning patterns for biases or recurring errors.
