Dimensional tension analysis. Given a polarity (X and Y), explore it through synthesis lenses that create genuine intellectual tension in three directions — not flat compromise but multi-directional insight. Use for design decisions, architectural tensions, strategic choices, or any polarity worth understanding deeply.
Read all project markdown documents to ground in the project's actual state.
Target polarity: $ARGUMENTS
Parse the polarity from the argument. Accept formats: "X vs Y", "X and Y", "X or Y", "X ←→ Y", or free-form text describing a tension.
If --lenses is specified, use only those lenses. If --all-lenses is specified, use all 11. Otherwise, use the default four.
Integration (synergy): How might X and Y work together synergistically? What emerges from their cooperation that neither achieves alone?
Transcendence (beyond): What emerges beyond both X and Y? What higher-order capability or understanding supersedes the polarity?
Context-Dependence (when): When does X serve better? When Y? What contextual signals indicate which pole to favor?
Meta-Perspective (assumptions): What assumptions do both X and Y share? What frame are they both operating within that could be questioned?
Emergence (novel properties): What unprecedented properties emerge from X and Y interacting that neither possesses alone?
Oscillation (dynamic value): How does dynamically alternating between X and Y create value through the rhythm itself?
Interference (resonance patterns): Where do X and Y create constructive or destructive patterns when they overlap?
Transformation (metamorphosis): How does X become Y, and Y become X, under what conditions? Where are the fluid boundaries?
Recursion (self-application): What happens when we apply X to itself, Y to itself, or each to the other?
Negation (excluded space): What is neither X nor Y? Why does that void matter?
Dissolution (boundary questioning): What if the distinction between X and Y is itself an artifact of our framing?
For each active lens:
After all lenses:
Each lens: 1 core question + 2-3 key observations. Dense, not expansive.
Without --all-lenses, run at most 4 lenses before the synthesis.

You have complete design autonomy.
Google Workspace CLI for Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Contacts, Sheets, and Docs.
Manage Apple Notes via the `memo` CLI on macOS (create, view, edit, delete, search, move, and export notes). Use when a user asks OpenClaw to add a note, list notes, search notes, or manage note folders.
Work with Obsidian vaults (plain Markdown notes) and automate via obsidian-cli.
Use when you need to control Slack from OpenClaw via the slack tool, including reacting to messages or pinning/unpinning items in Slack channels or DMs.
Manage Apple Reminders via remindctl CLI (list, add, edit, complete, delete). Supports lists, date filters, and JSON/plain output.
Manage Trello boards, lists, and cards via the Trello REST API.
