# Narrative Sensemaking **Problem shape:** the material is an account — an incident write-up, a user journey, a roadmap story, a vendor claim, a postmortem — and the work is to recover its structure: which functions occur in which order, which roles are filled, where the sequence breaks its own grammar, and whether the account is even structurally possible. Paradigmatic/causal analysis is the wrong mode here and produces confident nonsense when forced. ## Relevant geniuses | Agent | Use when | |---|---| | [bruner](../../agents/genius/bruner.md) | the question is "what happened and what did it mean?" — decide narrative vs paradigmatic mode explicitly, then analyze the breach of the canonical script that made the event tellable | | [propp](../../agents/genius/propp.md) | a sequential process (workflow, pipeline, user journey, incident response) needs its invariant functions extracted, its roles abstracted from their current occupants, and its gaps found by grammar rather than by inspection | | [ibnkhaldun](../../agents/genius/ibnkhaldun.md) | a claim sounds authoritative but may be structurally impossible — filter on structural plausibility *before* evaluating the source; check whether the reported thing could occur at that scale at all | ## Invocation 1. Pick the best-fit agent above. If two or more fit, run `tools/genius-invoker.sh route "<problem>"` and take the top ranked match. 2. Load it: `tools/genius-invoker.sh invoke <agent> "<problem>"`, then read `agents/g
