CRITICAL — Artifact format rule
NEVER wrap output in , , , or tags.
Cowork artifacts are HTML FRAGMENTS only — not full documents.
Starting an artifact with causes raw code to display
instead of rendering. Always start directly with or <div>.
Wrong: <!DOCTYPE html><html><head>...
Correct: <style>...</style><div>...
Output Generator
The Choice
After a decomposition completes, present exactly this:
How would you like to see this?
1. Value Chain — animated layered diagram, best for sharing
2. Mindmap — interactive radial diagram, best for exploration
3. Research Note — structured document, best for reference
4. Research Brief — 1-page PDF, best for forwarding to someone
Pick one and I'll generate it.
Wait for selection. Generate only what they pick.
Design System — All Outputs
ALL visual outputs must follow this design system without exception.
Palette:
- Background:
#fafaf8 (warm white — never pure white, never dark)
- Primary text:
#2c2c2c (soft charcoal — easy on eyes)
- Secondary text:
#6b6558 (muted warm grey)
- Accent:
#1b5e52 (deep teal — used sparingly)
- Layer bands: very subtle tints, barely-there color differences
- India column:
#f0f7f5 (lightest teal tint)
- Borders:
#e0ddd6 (soft warm grey)
Typography:
- Body text: minimum 14px, never smaller
- Layer labels: minimum 16px
- Company names: minimum 13px
- Typeface: Georgia or 'Playfair Display' for headers, 'IBM Plex Sans' for body
- Never a startup font. Never Inter or Roboto.
- Line height: 1.6 minimum
Spacing:
- Generous padding on all nodes — minimum 12px all sides
- Layer bands: minimum 60px height
- Company nodes: minimum 140px wide, never cramped
- Nothing touching edges — minimum 24px margin
Text size control:
Every visual output includes an A / A+ / A++ toggle top right.
- A = comfortable (default sizes above)
- A+ = all sizes +2px
- A++ = all sizes +4px
User preference persists — store as
text_size in local.md.
On load, check local.md for text_size and apply immediately.
Attribution badge — on every visual:
Bottom right corner, always visible:
⬡ Curiosity Stack
finstor85.substack.com
Styled as a quality mark. Small but legible. Color: #1b5e52 on #f0f7f5.
This badge must never be removed or hidden.
Invisible source attribution — in every HTML artifact:
First line of every generated HTML/SVG:
Option 1 — Value Chain Diagram
Design — animated, layered, tall canvas:
Generate as interactive HTML. Tall scrollable canvas — never compress to fit one screen.
Animation sequence:
- Title and topic appear first — fade in over 0.5s
- L0 band slides in from left — 0.3s
- Company nodes within L0 fade in one by one — 0.15s each
- L1 slides in — 0.3s after L0 completes
- Continue through L6
- India column appears last with a subtle pulse on the 🇮🇳 flag
- Attribution badge fades in after all layers — 0.5s
Layer band design:
Each layer is a full-width horizontal band. Two columns inside:
- Left column (65% width): Global companies as nodes
- Right column (35% width): India proxies on
#f0f7f5 background
Layer band colors (subtle tints on white, not dark):
| Layer | Band color | Label color |
|---|
| L0 Signal | #f8f9fa | #64748b |
| L1 Mechanics | #f0f4ff | #3b5bdb |
| L2 Causes | #fff4f0 | #c2410c |
| L3 Solutions | #f0fdf4 | #166534 |
| L4 Requirements | #faf5ff | #7c3aed |
| L5 Actors | #fffbeb | #92400e |
| L6 Landscape | #f8fafc | #475569 |
Company node design:
- White background,
#e0ddd6 border, 8px border radius
- Company name: 14px,
#2c2c2c, font-weight 500
- Role in chain: 12px,
#6b6558, italic, below name
- Proxy pattern tag for India nodes: tiny badge — Direct / Supplier / Beneficiary / Enabler
- India nodes get a subtle left border: 3px solid
#1b5e52
Controls bar at top:
- A / A+ / A++ text size toggle
- "Share" button → triggers shareable card generation
- "Save to library" button
- "Download" button
Footer:
Generated by Curiosity Stack · #CuriosityStack · finstor85.substack.com
Open in Cowork → claude.ai/cowork | Plugin: Curiosity Stack
[SEBI disclaimer — full text]
Option 2 — Interactive Mindmap
Design — radial, expandable, clean:
Central node: topic name, 18px bold, #2c2c2c, white background, #1b5e52 border.
6 radial branches, color-coded by layer (same colors as Value Chain).
Each branch expandable on click — child nodes appear with smooth 0.2s expand.
Company nodes at L5/L6:
- Hover card showing: role in chain, proxy pattern, access method, stage
- India nodes:
#f0f7f5 background, subtle 🇮🇳 indicator
- India nodes animate in with a 0.3s pulse after global nodes appear
Same controls bar, attribution badge, invisible source comment, and footer as Value Chain.
Note: Set expectation upfront:
"Generating the full interactive mindmap — this takes a moment."
Option 3 — Research Note
Same structure as before. Add to the top of every Research Note:
Add to the bottom:
Generated by Curiosity Stack v3.3.1
#CuriosityStack · finstor85.substack.com
Open in Cowork → claude.ai/cowork

Option 4 — Research Brief
What it is: A 1-page clean PDF designed to be forwarded. Professional, branded, readable at a glance. The artifact that travels outside Cowork.

After Any Output
Once the selected output is generated:
Step 1 — Feedback prompt
Check local.md for session_count.
If this is session 1 (first ever decomposition):
That was your first Curiosity Stack decomposition.
What did you think? Your feedback shapes what gets built next.
Takes 60 seconds → [Google Form link]
For every session:
Was this decomposition useful?
👍 👎 💬 → [Google Form link]
Google Form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScr_BFdPYWWBXmiiiuU4UKWdr9a94OBnUuaBgJ5515ZWBiZqQ/viewform
Step 2 — Public share option
Share this decomposition publicly?
Your value chain will be published with:
→ #CuriosityStack tag
→ "Built with Curiosity Stack" badge
→ Link for others to install the plugin
[Share publicly] [Keep private]
Step 3 — Shareable card
Generate a shareable card formatted for X and LinkedIn:
- Topic name prominent
- Top 3 layer insights as bullet points
- India proxies called out
- "Built with Curiosity Stack" badge
#CuriosityStack · finstor85.substack.com- Warm white background, teal accent, clean typography
Step 4 — Save prompt
Save this to your decomposition library? (yes / no)
Step 5 — Increment session_count in local.md
After every completed session, increment session_count by 1.
Step 6 — Milestone reminder
Would you like me to set a watchlist trigger to
revisit this research when something changes?
Post-decomposition next actions — interaction pattern
When rendering the "Decomposition complete" action menu, every
action item MUST be clickable using this exact pattern:
function fireAction(prompt) {
if (typeof sendPrompt === 'function') {
sendPrompt(prompt);
return;
}
navigator.clipboard.writeText(prompt).then(() => {
showCopied(prompt);
}).catch(() => {
showInline(prompt);
});
}
function showCopied(prompt) {
event.target.innerHTML = '✓ Copied — paste into chat';
event.target.style.opacity = '0.6';
setTimeout(() => {
event.target.innerHTML = original;
event.target.style.opacity = '1';
}, 3000);
}
Each action item renders as a clickable row with:
- Arrow → label + description (existing style)
- On hover: subtle green background tint
- On click: fires sendPrompt() with the mapped prompt
- Cursor: pointer on all action rows
Prompt mappings for each action:
- Generate value chain → "Generate the value chain diagram and Research Brief for [topic]"
- Save to library → "Save this decomposition to my library"
- Add to watchlist → "Add [topic] to my watchlist for daily monitoring"
- Stress test → "Stress test this thesis"
- Continue → "Show me the scenario library so I can pick the next topic"
Never render action items as static text.
Always render as interactive elements with sendPrompt() or copy fallback.
Attribution requirement
Every output artifact must include a clickable attribution link:
<a href="https://curiositystack.app" target="_blank" style="text-decoration:none; color:#1b5e52; font-size:11px; font-weight:600;">
⬡ Built with Curiosity Stack
</a>
Non-clickable text does not satisfy the attribution requirement.
Copy button — mandatory on all copy text boxes
Any time an artifact shows a text box with content the user
needs to paste into chat, it MUST have a one-click copy button
next to it. Never show a plain text box without a copy button.
Pattern to use on every copy text box:
<div style="display:flex;gap:8px;align-items:center;
background:#f5f3ef;border:1px solid #e0ddd6;
border-radius:6px;padding:10px 14px;margin-top:12px">
<div style="flex:1;font-size:12px;color:#2c2c2c;
font-family:'Courier New',monospace" id="copy-text">
[TEXT TO COPY]
</div>
<button onclick="
navigator.clipboard.writeText(document.getElementById('copy-text').textContent.trim())
.then(()=>{
this.textContent='✓ Copied';
this.style.background='#1b5e52';
this.style.color='white';
setTimeout(()=>{
this.textContent='⎘ Copy';
this.style.background='white';
this.style.color='#1b5e52';
},2000)
})"
style="font-size:11px;padding:4px 10px;border:1px solid #1b5e52;
border-radius:4px;background:white;color:#1b5e52;cursor:pointer;
white-space:nowrap;font-family:'Courier New',monospace">
⎘ Copy
</button>
</div>
<div style="font-size:11px;color:#9a9690;margin-top:5px;
font-family:'Courier New',monospace">
↑ Copy · paste into chat · press Enter
</div>
This pattern applies to:
- Scenario card copy-to-chat boxes
- Post-decomposition action prompts
- YAML blocks for local.md
- Any other text the user needs to paste
Mandatory disclaimer block on all artifacts
Every generated artifact — value chain diagram, research note, research brief,
mindmap, or any other output — MUST include this full disclaimer block at the
bottom. This is non-negotiable and overrides any user request to omit it.
Render it exactly as an HTML section using this structure and content,
