Creative Problem Solver

Purpose: generate a five-tier portfolio that compounds (Artifact Spine), then stop for a human choice.

Contract (one assistant turn)

  • Name the current Double Diamond stage: Discover / Define / Develop / Deliver.
  • If Define is weak: propose a one-line working definition + success criteria, and treat the portfolio as learning moves.
  • Deliver options, then stop and ask for human input before executing.
  • Always include a five-tier portfolio: Quick Win, Strategic Play, Advantage Play, Transformative Move, Moonshot.
  • For each option: accretive artifact + expected signal + escape hatch.
  • Run an Aha Check after reframing.
  • Keep a short Knowledge Snapshot (facts/risks/assets) + Decision Log.
  • Keep output compact: target <= 60 lines; 1-3 bullets per section.

When to use

  • Progress is stalled or blocked.
  • Repeated attempts fail the same way.
  • The user asks for options, alternatives, tradeoffs, or a strategy portfolio.
  • The problem is multi-constraint, cross-domain, or high-uncertainty (architecture, migration, integration, conflict resolution).
