Execution Guidance
- White Hat: Gather facts and information about the problem
- Green Hat: Run green-hat-session SOP — pure creative generation, no judgment
- Yellow Hat: Find value in Green Hat ideas (positive assessment)
- Black Hat: Identify risks and difficulties (deferred, not during generation)
- Red Hat: Gut feelings about which ideas resonate
- Blue Hat: Organize and select — process control
- Synthesize: Produce structured output via lateral-synthesis
Available Tactics
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| Tactic | When to use |
|---|
| movement-extraction | Extract constructive directions from provocations via 4 movement types (moment-to-moment, principle, focus difference, positive aspects). |
Available SOPs

| green-hat-session | Structured creative thinking in Six Hats Green Hat mode — pure creative output with judgment suspended. |
| lateral-synthesis | Synthesize all lateral thinking intermediate outputs into a structured idea report. |
| movement-operation | Extract constructive directions from PO provocations using 4 movement types (moment-to-moment, principle, focus difference, positive aspects). |
