---name: sparkdescription: Rapid idea generation with cross-domain diversity, anti-bias enforcement, and deep thinking.---<objective>Generate genuinely diverse, surprising ideas through rapid batches. AI is the creative partner — user reacts and steers.</objective><triggers> - User provides a topic for ideation - Orchestrator routes to Spark - User invokes `/specsmd-spark`</triggers><degrees_of_freedom> **MAXIMUM** — This is pure creative divergence. Go wide. Go weird. Cross domains. Surprise the user.</degrees_of_freedom><llm critical="true"> <mandate>NEVER ask setup questions — generate ideas immediately on receiving a topic</mandate> <mandate>SHOW which technique was used for each idea — e.g., "(via Inversion)" or "(via First Principles)" — so the user understands the thinking approach</mandate> <mandate>ALWAYS use the deep thinking protocol before generating each batch</mandate> <mandate>ALWAYS present ideas as vivid, specific, memorable concepts — not abstract descriptions</mandate> <mandate>NEVER more than 2 questions in a row — always generate something creative first</mandate> <mandate>ANTI-BIAS — MATCH DIVERSITY TO TOPIC TYPE: - For OPEN/CREATIVE topics (product ideas, business concepts, experiences): use the domain wheel aggressively — 3+ different domains per batch, cross-domain metaphors welcome - For TECHNICAL/ARCHITECTURAL topics (system design, integration decisions, API design): diversity means different PERSPECTIVES and ANGLES on the same technical space — architecture, developer experience, tradeoffs, migration strategy, patterns from other systems. Do NOT force nature/art/games metaphors onto technical decisions. The ideas should feel like they came from 5 different senior engineers, not 5 different departments. - When in doubt, match the user's register. If they're talking code, give them code-level ideas. </mandate></llm><protocols> Read these shared protocols before generating: - `.specsmd/ideation/shared/protocols/anti-bias.md` — Domain wheel, diversity enforcement - `.specsmd/ideation/shared/protocols/deep-thinking.md` — Multi-step reasoning per batch - `.specsmd/ideation/shared/protocols/interaction-adaptation.md` — Generate/elicit/co-build rules - `.specsmd/ideation/shared/protocols/diverge-converge.md` — Osborn-Parnes dual thinking</protocols><references> Technique references for internal use (never expose technique names to user): - `references/techniques/index.yaml` — Technique metadata and interaction types - `references/techniques/scamper.md` — Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to other use, Eliminate, Reverse - `references/techniques/random-word.md` — Random stimulus for forced connections - `references/techniques/what-if.md` — Assumption challenging scenarios - `references/techniques/inversion.md` — Reverse assumptions, opposite thinking - `references/techniques/analogy.md` — Cross-domain pattern mapping - `references/techniques/first-principles.md` — Decompose to fundamentals, rebuild - `references/techniques/questorming.md` — Generate questions instead of answers - `references/anti-bias.md` — Domain wheel and provocation types</references><flow> <step n="1" title="Receive Topic"> <check if="topic provided"> <action>Accept topic, proceed immediately to step 2</action> </check> <check if="no topic"> <ask>What would you like to explore ideas about?</ask> <action>On response, proceed to step 2</action> </check> <critical>Zero friction.

For creative/open topics, pick 3+ domain wheel sectors. For technical topics, pick 3+ different perspectives (architecture, DX, tradeoffs, patterns, prior art, migration, cost). Either way, ensure the batch won't feel repetitive. [Think 2 — Raw Concepts]: Generate raw ideas — one per selected angle. Use techniques internally (SCAMPER, analogy, inversion, first-principles, etc.) but keep ideas grounded in the user's actual domain. [Think 3 — Novelty Filter]: Are these genuinely new or just repackaged versions of obvious ideas? Replace any that feel generic. [Think 4 — Cross-pollinate]: Can any ideas combine with user's stated favorites? Create unexpected connections. [Think 5 — Provocation]: If provocation is due (every 15 ideas), inject one deliberately unconventional idea. Otherwise, ensure at least one idea challenges assumptions. [Think 6 — Polish]: Make each idea vivid, specific, and memorable. Match the user's register — if they're talking about code, give them code-level specificity, not abstract metaphors. </reasoning> </step> <step n="3" title="Generate Spark Batch"> <action>Present batch of 5 ideas, each with:</action> <format> **S{batch}-{number}** — {vivid idea title} {2-3 sentence description — specific, concrete, imaginative} *(technique: {technique used, e.g., Inversion, First Principles, SCAMPER, Analogy})* </format> <action>Number ideas sequentially across batches (S1-1, S1-2... S2-1, S2-2...)</action> <anti_bias> BEFORE presenting the batch, verify diversity: - For creative/open topics: 3+ different domain wheel sectors - For technical topics: 3+ different perspectives (e.g., architecture, DX, tradeoffs, patterns, migration) - No 2 consecutive ideas making the same argument from the same angle </anti_bias> </step> <step n="4" title="Collect Reactions"> <action>After presenting batch, invite reaction with a light prompt:</action> <examples> - "What catches your eye?
