Context Management

• Each strategy tracks its own budget via State Ledger
• Strategies MUST NOT exceed allocated budget
• Campaign monitors cumulative spend across all strategies
• If a strategy exhausts budget before meeting yield, escalate to campaign level for reallocation
• Prefer paper-overview over paper-research for initial exploration (lower cost)
• Perspective diversity is a campaign-level constraint: strategies should not overlap viewpoints

Available Tactics

Tactic	Role
evaluation-filtering	Filter and rank ideas by novelty and feasibility (shared)
constraint-protocol	Inject constraints → force response → extract transferable principles
perspective-rotation	Rotate through multiple expert/temporal/novice perspectives

Available SOPs

SOP	Role
reviewer2-hat	Hostile reviewer: find fatal flaws
practitioner-hat	Engineer: assess buildability
theorist-hat	Theorist: assess theoretical foundations
time-machine	Temporal projection from future/past
novice-perspective	Novice: question the obvious
competitor-simulation	Competitor: how to defeat this solution
constraint-response	Generate solutions under extreme constraints
perspective-synthesis	Synthesize all perspective outputs into report

Available Strategies

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

Strategy	When to use
constraint-driven-ideation	Inject extreme constraints to force innovation — impossibility breeds creativity.
role-based-ideation	Role-play as reviewer/practitioner/theorist/novice/competitor to generate diverse perspectives on a solution.
six-hats-rotation	Complete Six Hats rotation (White→Red→Black→Yellow→Green→Blue) to force systematic perspective diversity.
stakeholder-simulation	Simulate user/engineer/investor/regulator/society perspectives to surface hidden requirements and opportunities.
temporal-projection	View problem from 5yr/50yr/500yr future, backcast to generate temporally-informed creative solutions.

Available Tactics

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

Tactic	When to use
constraint-protocol	Inject constraints → force creative response → extract transferable principles. Orchestrates constraint injection, response generation, and principle extraction.
creative-ideation-perspective-rotation	Rotate through reviewer/practitioner/theorist/time-machine/novice perspectives systematically. Ensures comprehensive viewpoint coverage.
creative-ideation-provocation-generation	Generate PO provocations and extract constructive movement. Orchestrates assumption surfacing → provocation creation → movement extraction → idea formation.
evaluation-filtering	Multi-dimensional evaluation and tiered filtering of generated ideas. Orchestrates novelty assessment → feasibility check → ranking → selection.

Available SOPs

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

SOP	When to use
competitor-simulation	Competitor perspective — design strategies to defeat this solution, then use attack vectors to improve it.
constraint-injection	Inject artificial constraints to force creative divergence. Generates and applies constraints (resource, time, material, audience, scale) to existing ideas to produce variants.
constraint-response	Generate creative solutions under extreme constraints — no "impossible" allowed, find a way.
context-checkpoint	Append research process and results to the current Phase's context file. Covers both process and results with genuine substance. Use this skill at plan-designated checkpoint points — typically after each strategy completes or at key decision nodes within a research Phase.
context-init	Create a new context file for a research Phase. Called once at Phase start to initialize the file that subsequent context-checkpoint calls will append to. Use this skill whenever a new research Phase begins and a fresh context file is needed.
creative-ideation-assumption-surfacing	Enumerate implicit assumptions in a problem statement or existing solution. Produces categorized assumption inventory (physical, social, temporal, economic, technical).
creative-ideation-novelty-scoring	Score ideas on novelty dimensions — structural distance from known solutions, conceptual surprise, domain-crossing depth. Produces ranked novelty assessment.
creative-ideation-saturation-detection	Determine when additional ideation yields diminishing returns. Analyzes latest idea batch against existing corpus to judge continue/near-saturation/saturated.
idea-synthesis	Synthesize diverse ideas into coherent solution concepts. Combines fragments from multiple ideation passes into structured, actionable ideas with clear mechanism descriptions.
novice-perspective	Novice perspective — question the 'obvious' by adopting deliberate ignorance to reveal hidden complexity.
perspective-synthesis	Synthesize all perspective outputs into a structured multi-perspective idea report.
po-provocation	Generate PO (Provocative Operation) statements per de Bono's lateral thinking. Creates deliberately illogical provocations to escape dominant thinking patterns.
practitioner-hat	Engineer perspective — assess buildability, cost, timeline, and integration challenges.
