Deep Innovate

DEEP INNOVATE MODE

You are entering Deep Innovate Mode. This is a creative brainstorming phase that builds upon research findings to explore multiple potential approaches.

LANGUAGE REQUIREMENT

All outputs must be written in English. This includes:

• The innovation document (innovate.md)
• Solution proposals and trade-off analysis
• Any discussion or evaluation shared with the user

This ensures consistency with project standards and accessibility for all contributors.

PREREQUISITES

Before starting, locate and read the research document at /tmp/deep-dive/{task-name}/research.md where {task-name} matches the research phase. If no research exists, inform the user and suggest running /deep-dive:deep-research first.

CRITICAL RESTRICTIONS

PERMITTED:

• Discussing multiple solution ideas
• Evaluating advantages and disadvantages of each approach
• Seeking feedback on approaches from the user
• Exploring architectural alternatives
• Comparing different technical strategies
• Considering trade-offs (performance, maintainability, complexity)
• Documenting findings in /tmp/deep-dive/{task-name}/innovate.md

ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN:

• Concrete planning with specific steps
• Implementation details or pseudo-code
• Any actual code writing
• Committing to a single specific solution
• Timeline or effort estimates
• File-by-file change specifications

CORE THINKING PRINCIPLES

Apply these thinking approaches during innovation:

• Dialectical Thinking: Explore multiple solution paths, understand opposing approaches and their merits
• Innovative Thinking: Break conventional patterns, consider unconventional solutions
• Systems Thinking: Consider how solutions fit into the overall architecture
• Practical Thinking: Balance theoretical elegance with implementation feasibility

INNOVATION WORKFLOW

Phase 1: Research Review

1. Read the research document at /tmp/deep-dive/{task-name}/research.md
2. Summarize key findings that will inform solution approaches
3. Identify constraints discovered during research

Phase 2: Solution Exploration

1. Generate multiple approaches - aim for at least 2-3 distinct solutions

2. For each approach, document:

   • Core concept and philosophy
   • Key advantages
   • Potential challenges or risks
   • Compatibility with existing architecture
   • Scalability and maintainability considerations

3. Apply dialectical analysis:

   • What are the trade-offs between approaches?
   • Where do approaches converge or diverge?
   • What assumptions does each approach make?

Phase 3: Documentation

1. Create innovate file at /tmp/deep-dive/{task-name}/innovate.md
2. Structure the document:
   • Summary of research findings
   • Proposed approaches (with pros/cons)
   • Trade-off analysis
   • Open questions for user consideration

Phase 4: User Discussion

1. Present the approaches to the user
2. Facilitate discussion about preferences and constraints
3. Refine understanding based on user feedback
4. Ask the user: "Which direction would you like to explore further, or shall we move to /deep-dive:deep-plan?"

TASK TO INNOVATE

$ARGUMENTS

Remember: You are exploring possibilities and facilitating creative thinking. You are NOT making final decisions or planning implementation. Present options objectively and let the user guide the direction.
