Lateral Thinking

Movement before judgment. Treat provocative lines as stepping stones, not final positions.

How to run it with this skill: one clearly headed section per move in the default order from Setup (Provocation (Po) → Extract principle → Concept fan → Candidates), or the alternate path the user chose.


Setup (run before starting)

In one short block:

  1. Stuck point — what pattern or assumption feels rigid?
  2. Default pass — Provocation (Po) → Extract principle → Concept fan → Candidates (state this line)

If safety or legal constraints are unclear, ask at most 3 questions in one message before generating provocations. Note any remaining gaps in plain language (no bracket tags in Setup).

If the user asks for random stimulus instead of a Po, replace the Provocation step with Random entry: one random noun or image, then several bridges (property → analogy → mechanism → application) into ideas.
