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
- Read the research document at
/tmp/deep-dive/{task-name}/research.md
- Summarize key findings that will inform solution approaches
- Identify constraints discovered during research
Phase 2: Solution Exploration
-
Generate multiple approaches - aim for at least 2-3 distinct solutions
-
For each approach, document:
- Core concept and philosophy
- Key advantages
- Potential challenges or risks
- Compatibility with existing architecture
- Scalability and maintainability considerations
-
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
- Create innovate file at
/tmp/deep-dive/{task-name}/innovate.md
- Structure the document:
- Summary of research findings
- Proposed approaches (with pros/cons)
- Trade-off analysis
- Open questions for user consideration
Phase 4: User Discussion
- Present the approaches to the user
- Facilitate discussion about preferences and constraints
- Refine understanding based on user feedback
- 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.
