Summary

Entry point for the creativity toolkit. Routes to the right creative thinking technique based on your situation. Use when you say 'creativity', 'think creatively', 'I need fresh ideas', 'help me think differently', 'I'm stuck', or want creative help without knowing which specific

21	## Routing Decision
22
23	Framing check: Confirm the specific challenge or problem before continuing. State what you've identified — the actual creative challenge and its key parameters — in one sentence, then use `AskUserQuestion`:
24	- Question: "I'm reading this as: [your one-sentence framing of the specific challenge]. Is that right?"
25	- Header: "Framing"
26	- Options:
27	- Yes — proceed — framing is correct
28	- Adjust — one element is off; user will correct it before you continue
29	- Reframe — different situation than read; incorporate the correction before proceeding
30
31	- Problem framing might itself be wrong → assumption-excavator (run before anything else)
32	- Stuck in one direction, keep returning to the same idea → lateral-thinking
33	- Need to see the full option space before choosing → alternatives or concept-fan
34	- Have a specific idea to evaluate → plus-minus-interesting
35	- Need full multi-perspective analysis → six-hats
36	- Decision affects other people → other-perspectives
37	- Early exploration, premature judgment is the enemy → water-logic
38	- Thoroughly stuck, need outside stimulus → random-entry
39	- Need a deliberate jolt into the impossible → provocation
40	- About to act, want to make sure nothing is missed → consider-factors
41	- Big challenge, want everything applied → run the full brainstorm sequence
42
43	---

45	## Confirm Direction
46
47	After diagnosing which tool fits, use the `AskUserQuestion` tool to confirm direction. Construct the question dynamically to include your diagnosis:
48
49	- Question: "My read: [diagnosed tool] — [one sentence on why it fits]. How would you like to proceed?"
50	- Header: "Direction"
51	- Options:
52	- Yes, run that tool — Execute the diagnosed skill immediately using the context already provided
53	- Show all options — List every skill in this category with one-line descriptions
54	- Quick version — Run a lighter-weight alternative if one exists for this situation
55	- Re-diagnose — Revisit the situation description for a different read
56
57	Proceed based on their selection.
58
59	---
60
61	## Assumption Excavator
62
63	Surfaces and challenges hidden assumptions.
64
65	List every assumption embedded in the current problem framing — about what's possible, what's wanted, what's fixed, who's involved. Challenge each: what if this assumption were false? Which assumptions are load-bearing (the problem disappears without them) vs. incidental? Find the assumption that, if wrong, would most change the approach.
66
67	Output: Full assumption inventory, classified by how hard they are to question, and the one reframe that most changes the problem.
68
69	---
70
71	## Lateral Thinking
72
73	Escapes dominant patterns to generate genuinely new directions.
74
75	Name the dominant idea — the direction that keeps surfacing. Suspend it deliberately: set it aside for the rest of this exercise. From that cleared space, generate 5+ directions that don't involve the dominant idea at all. Use movement thinking: don't evaluate, just move. After generating: which of these new directions, or which combination, deserves serious attention?
76
77	Output: Dominant idea named and set aside. 5+ genuinely different directions. The 1-2 that deserve development.
78
79	---
80
81	## Alternatives (APC)
82
83	Deliberately generates options before evaluating any.
84
85	Apply Alternatives, Possibilities, Choices: set a quota — find at least 5 alternatives to the current approach before evaluating any of them. Prevent evaluation from entering the generation phase. After generating: now compare. The first idea is almost never the bes
