cognitive-variability
Guide conversations through dynamic shifts between zoom levels (scale) and connecting/exploring (intent) to unlock creative breakthroughs and prevent rigid thinking. Use when the user is stuck or needs to develop an idea or when there is a sense of too much repetition or dispersion. Takes the user through several stages of thinking — from idea genesis, to development, to questioning, to disruptive thinking. Identifies structural gaps between idea clusters as spaces for innovation. Tracks temporal dwelling patterns and manages cognitive energy expended. Uses playfulness for difficult transitions from chaos to clarity. Maximum creative potential lives in gaps and dissipative states. Apply for complex analysis, brainstorming, being stuck, breakthroughs, decision paralysis, group facilitation, breaking repetitive patterns, or when grammatical patterns reveal cognitive issues.
facilitation-patterns
Use when running meetings, workshops, brainstorms, design sprints, retrospectives, or team decision-making sessions. Apply when need structured group discussion, managing diverse stakeholder input, ensuring equal participation, handling conflict or groupthink, or when user mentions facilitation, workshop design, meeting patterns, session planning, or running effective collaborative sessions.
