Build a polyrhythmic reasoning graph

Use this skill for a non-high-risk task that benefits from explicit problem-mode and user-mode tracks.

Process

1. Choose **strict-lcm** only when exact 4/5 alignment at activation 20 is the intended behavior. Choose **adaptive** when evidence-backed early convergence is allowed under the hard ceiling. 2. Use one of the approved domains: technical troubleshooting, conceptual explanation, practical planning, or theoretical comparison. 3. Keep user state **unknown** unless a user-stated evidence item supports a declared non-sensitive state. 4. Choose agent-only or agent-plus-read-only-tool. Never widen the latter past **filesystem:read** and **sideEffectMode: none**. 5. Build through **lib/polyrhythmic-reasoning.mjs**, validate the returned FlowGraph, and execute through the normal composition adapter. 6. Preserve conflicts and failed/skipped beats in typed state and events. Publish only the final synthesis.

Do not use the generic pattern for healthcare, financial advice, or another high-risk domain. Do not claim that the topology improves quality or efficiency without reproducible benchmark evidence.
