- ▌ Typography · danium bundleUse when styling or reviewing text in any medium; choosing fonts, size, spacing, measure, headings, emphasis, punctuation, or numeric typography; auditing websites, documents, slides, email, resumes, tables, or PDFs; or resolving a user's visual preference against typographic, accessibility, language, and delivery constraints
- ▌ Analogy · danium bundleForced Analogy / Structural Transplant — map the problem onto a structurally similar system from a distant domain (immune system, air-traffic control, restaurant kitchen, jazz ensemble) and transfer its mechanisms back. Use when a solution works but feels derivative, when the industry playbook is exhausted, or when a system in nature or another trade already solves this shape of problem. Triggers include "analogy", "forced analogy", "how would a hospital/kitchen/airport handle this", "transplant from another industry", "structurally similar system". Do NOT use for analytical work like debugging, code review, or implementation tasks.
- ▌ Lateral · daniumLateral thinking toolkit router — when you're stuck, going in circles, need fresh ideas, or standard brainstorming keeps producing predictable results, this diagnoses the symptom and applies the right technique from the toolkit (random-stimulus, provocation, inversion, concept-fan, analogy, scamper, six-hats, worst-idea). Triggers include "lateral thinking", "I'm stuck on a creative problem", "we're going in circles", "need fresh ideas", "try a different angle", "break out of the box", "ideas all feel the same", "predictable brainstorm". Do NOT use for analytical work like debugging, code review, or implementation tasks.
- ▌ Scamper · danium bundleSCAMPER (Bob Eberle) — run one existing idea, product, or process through seven systematic transformations - Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify/Magnify, Put to other use, Eliminate, Reverse/Rearrange. Use when there is already one working idea and the need is disciplined variations of it, e.g. "give me variations", "riff on this", "scamper", "what can we substitute or combine", "remix this feature". Do NOT use for analytical work like debugging, code review, or implementation tasks, and not for blank-page ideation (needs an existing idea as input).
- ▌ Six Hats · danium bundleParallel thinking with six enforced perspectives, based on Edward de Bono's Six Thinking Hats® method - examine one decision through sequential passes for facts, feelings, risks, benefits, alternatives, and synthesis, never blending them. Use when a decision is being made too fast or from one angle, when everyone agrees suspiciously quickly, when the discussion mixes emotions with data, or for "six hats", "thinking hats", "look at this from every angle", "structured devil's advocate". Do NOT use for analytical work like debugging, code review, or implementation tasks.
- ▌ Inversion · danium bundleAssumption Inversion — list the assumptions behind the current approach and flip each one, then ask where the flipped version could actually be true. Use when requirements encode beliefs nobody has questioned, when a design feels inevitable, or when incumbents all share one blind spot. Triggers include "invert", "flip it", "flip the assumption", "reverse the premise", "what if the opposite were true", "challenge the assumption". Do NOT use for analytical work like debugging, code review, or implementation tasks.
- ▌ Worst Idea · danium bundleWorst Possible Idea (reverse brainstorming) — deliberately design the most terrible solutions to the problem, name the mechanism that makes each one bad, then invert those mechanisms into strong features. Use when ideas all feel timid and safe, when the team is optimizing instead of imagining, or for "worst idea", "reverse brainstorming", "what would make this worse", "design the disaster", "how would we guarantee failure". Do NOT use for analytical work like debugging, code review, or implementation tasks.
- ▌ Concept Fan · danium bundleEdward de Bono's Concept Fan — climb from the current solution to the concept it serves by asking "what is this a way of doing?", then fan out alternative concepts and concrete implementations for each. Use when the current solution might be answering the wrong question, when all options look like variations of one idea, or to widen a decision before committing. Triggers include "concept fan", "zoom out", "what is this a way of doing", "wrong problem", "widen the options", "abstraction ladder". Do NOT use for analytical work like debugging, code review, or implementation tasks.
- ▌ Provocation · danium bundleEdward de Bono's Provocation (Po) technique — state something deliberately wrong or absurd about the problem, then extract useful "movement" from it instead of judging it. Use when a constraint feels unbreakable, when every design converges on the same shape, or to escape "the way it's always done". Triggers include "provocation", "po", "absurd statement", "deliberately break the rule", "the constraint feels unbreakable", "sacred cow". Do NOT use for analytical work like debugging, code review, or implementation tasks.
- ▌ Random Stimulus · danium bundleEdward de Bono's Random Stimulus technique — force-fit a random unrelated object, place, or phenomenon onto a creative target to break familiar association patterns. Use for product ideation, feature naming, brand direction, copywriting, architecture and design choices when ideas from outside the problem space would help. Triggers include "random stimulus", "random word", "force-fit", "de Bono", "inject a random object", "stare out the window", "see the tree and squeeze an idea". Do NOT use for analytical work like debugging, code review, or implementation tasks.
