Produces a both/and polarity map - two interdependent poles, the upside and downside quadrant of each, a greater purpose and a deeper fear, early-warning signs, and action steps - for a chronic tension that should be managed rather than resolved. Use when an organization keeps oscillating destructively between two opposites that are both true and interdependent (centralize versus decentralize, stability versus change, candor versus diplomacy), and treating each swing as a problem to solve is…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

Treating such a tension as a problem to solve produces the destructive pendulum: this year centralize to fix the chaos, next year decentralize to fix the bottleneck, repeat. Contradiction / tension mapping refuses that reflex. It names the two interdependent poles, fills the upside and downside quadrant of each, anchors them with a shared **greater purpose** (the why that makes holding both worthwhile) and a **deeper fear** (the loss of getting the downside of both), and finishes with **early-warning signs** of over-leaning into one pole and **action steps** that pull back toward the neglected one before its downside bites. The durable move is its **terminal stance**: it deliberately does not resolve, dissolve, choose, or synthesize the tension - it builds a structure for staying in the productive upper… …

How to install
mdr add product-on-purpose/thinking-framework-skills/think-contradiction-tension-mapping@sha256:0edc4edc944095e6The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
