think-far-analogy-ideation — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited think-far-analogy-ideation (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

Most ideation transfers solutions from near domains (products like yours), which yields obvious, low-novelty ideas. Far-analogy ideation deliberately reaches to distant domains - nature, other industries, games, history - and transfers the deep relational structure of a working solution there, not its surface features. The originality comes from the distance; the validity comes from mapping structure, not surface similarity. The output is a far-analogy transfer sheet of candidate mechanisms to adapt. The failure to avoid: surface-matching ("both involve networks"), which produces cute-but-useless analogies and carries none of the benefit.
When asked to ideate by far analogy, follow these steps:
references/TEMPLATE.md.Use the template in references/TEMPLATE.md. The deliverable is the structure, the distant sources, the transferred mechanisms, and adapted candidates, not prose.
Before finalizing, verify:
Tier S. Distant analogies produce more original and novel solutions than near ones across creativity and design studies, and analogical transfer is a well-studied innovation mechanism (Gentner structure-mapping; Gick & Holyoak 1980; Dahl & Moreau). The honest failure mode is built in: surface-feature mapping carries none of the benefit and some risk, so the method requires mapping deep structure. Evidence is for human ideation, transferred to AI use, not AI-validated. Full grading: evidence/dossier.md.
