Creative Ideation

When to use

Use when the user says 'I want to build something', 'give me a project idea', 'I'm bored', 'what should I make', 'inspire me', or any variant of 'I have tools but no direction'. Works for code, art, hardware, writing, tools, and anything that can be made.

Generate project ideas through creative constraints. Constraint + direction = creativity.

How It Works

1. Pick a constraint from the library below — random, or matched to the user's domain/mood
2. Interpret it broadly — a coding prompt can become a hardware project, an art prompt can become a CLI tool
3. Generate 3 concrete project ideas that satisfy the constraint
4. If they pick one, build it — create the project, write the code, ship it

The Rule

Every prompt is interpreted as broadly as possible. "Does this include X?" → Yes. The prompts provide direction and mild constraint. Without either, there is no creativity.
