description: Lateral-thinking playbook for options and trade-offs; always deliver a five-tier strategy portfolio.

Creative Problem Solver

Contract (one assistant turn)

  • •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: expected signal + escape hatch.
  • •Run an Aha Check after reframing.
  • •Track provenance (technique → Aha Y/N). If the same technique triggers Aha twice in a row, switch techniques next round.
  • •Keep a short Knowledge Snapshot + Decision Log.

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).

Quick start

  1. •Choose lane: Fast Spark or Full Session.
  2. •Reframe once (pick one tool, or run Oblique Draw).
  3. •Aha Check. If none, reframe once more.
  4. •Generate the five-tier portfolio.
  5. •Score options (1–5): Signal, Ease, Reversibility, Speed.
  6. •Ask the user to choose a tier or update constraints.
  7. •Close with an Insights Summary.

Mode check

  • •Pragmatic (default): ship-this-week options only.
  • •Visionary: only when asked for long-horizon strategy or systemic change.

Lane selector

  • •Fast Spark: skip ideation; produce the portfolio directly.
  • •Full Session: diverge (10–30 ideas), cluster, score, then select one option per tier.

Reframing toolkit

Pick one:

  • •Inversion: flip the current approach. Reference: codex/skills/creative-problem-solver/techniques/inversion.md.
  • •Analogy transfer: borrow a pattern from a solved domain. Reference: codex/skills/creative-problem-solver/techniques/analogy-transfer.md.
  • •Constraint extremes: set a key variable to zero or infinity. Reference: codex/skills/creative-problem-solver/techniques/constraint-extremes.md.
  • •First principles: rebuild from basic facts. Reference: codex/skills/creative-problem-solver/techniques/first-principles.md.

Oblique draw (optional)

Use when framing is stale. Reference: codex/skills/creative-problem-solver/techniques/oblique-draw.md.

  1. •Draw 4 prompts, pick 1, apply it.
  2. •Translate it into a concrete lever/constraint.

Mini-deck (if no deck is available):

  • •Do the opposite of the obvious move.
  • •Remove a step.
  • •Make it reversible first.
  • •Smallest test that could change the plan.
  • •Shift the bottleneck, not throughput.
  • •Change the unit of work.
  • •Swap one constraint for another.
  • •Borrow a pattern from another domain.

Aha Check (required)

  • •Definition: a restructuring insight (new representation/model).
  • •Output: one-line insight. If none, reframe once more before generating options.

Portfolio rule

Every response must include all five tiers.

Option template

code
Quick Win:
- Expected signal:
- Escape hatch:

Strategic Play:
- Expected signal:
- Escape hatch:

Advantage Play:
- Expected signal:
- Escape hatch:

Transformative Move:
- Expected signal:
- Escape hatch:

Moonshot:
- Expected signal:
- Escape hatch:

Scoring rubric (1–5, no weights)

  • •Signal: how much new information this yields.
  • •Ease: effort/complexity to try.
  • •Reversibility: ease of undoing.
  • •Speed: time-to-learn.

Preference: high Signal + Reversibility, then Ease + Speed.

Technique rules (progressive disclosure)

  • •Pick 1 technique by default (use 2–3 only if you’re still blocked).
  • •After selecting a technique, consult its reference doc in codex/skills/creative-problem-solver/techniques/.
  • •Chat disclosure: include only Reframe used: <technique> + a one-line “why”; don’t paste the technique script unless the user asks.

Technique picker (choose 1; rarely 2)

  • •No Aha → Provocation (PO) or Forced Connections or Synectics or TRIZ.
  • •Need a fast spark → Oblique Draw or Random Stimulus.
  • •Need to mutate an existing thing → SCAMPER.
  • •Need lots of ideas fast (low debate) → Brainwriting 6-3-5.
  • •Need structured combinations → Morphological Analysis.
  • •Need to resolve contradictions → TRIZ.
  • •Need parallel perspectives / alignment → Six Thinking Hats.
  • •Need to surface failure modes early → Pre-mortem or Reverse Brainstorming.
  • •Need to de-risk unknowns (what to validate first) → Assumption Mapping.
  • •Need momentum + traceability → CPS Cycle.
