Emergent Capability

Purpose

Enable the agent to handle requests that don't map directly to a specific skill by composing primitives and existing skills into novel solutions.

This is what makes the system agent-native: the ability to figure out how to accomplish an outcome, not just execute predefined workflows.

Read ../../references/context-contract.md before composing a multi-artifact workflow. Respect the active project's source-of-truth files, provenance, destinations, and approval rules.

When This Applies

Use emergent composition when:

• Request spans multiple drafts or files
• Request requires pattern analysis across the body of work
• Request combines multiple types of feedback
• No single skill handles the full request
• User describes an outcome, not a command
