Post

What this does

Applies the lateral thinking toolkit to one specific creative target: a post or a reply. It is an applied layer over the lateral router, not a technique of its own — it acquires the target, routes it, runs the chosen technique, and shapes the result into drafts you can send.

The reason it exists: asked for a reply, an agent produces three phrasings of the take everyone else already posted. The existing replies under a post are the definition of "predictable" for that post; the drafts have to beat them.

Procedure

Step 1: Declare the mode and acquire the target

The input decides the mode. Name it in the diagnosis line; the drafts rule in Step 5 depends on it.

Reply mode — the input is someone else's post.

• A URL — read the post and the visible replies with whatever browser tool is available. Plain HTTP fetch fails on X (login wall). If no browser tool exists, ask for the post text and two or three replies pasted in; do not guess at the content.
• Pasted text — use it as given. Ask for the existing replies if none were included.
