**Trigger:** `/mechanism-mapping`  ·  **Category:** research

## When to use

Bridges a traditional healing concept to modern neuroscience and physiology, naming what's established versus speculative. Use when the user asks how an ancient practice works in the body, or wants qi/chakra-style concepts translated into mechanisms. Do NOT use for outcome evidence (use clinical-research).

## Agents this skill coordinates

- [`mechanisms-neuroscientist`](../research/mechanisms-neuroscientist.md)

**Workflow:** standalone — agent-driven, no orchestrated workflow.

## Example usage

```bash
/mechanism-mapping "qi cultivation" --to neuroscience
/mechanism-mapping "chakra activation" --to psychophysiology
```
