Use when the team feels boxed in or every idea sounds the same.

Inputs

Topic or problem statement
Known assumptions/constraints (even if informal)
Optional mode flag: --opposite, --zero, or --10x

Steps

List core assumptions (facts, beliefs, constraints).
Transform each via chosen operator (opposite/zero/10x).
Generate 1–2 reframed ideas per transformed assumption.
Capture evidence to collect and a fast test for each idea.
Pick the most promising 2–3 and move to /ctx:plan or Tasks.

Output Template

Pairings

Run before /collaboration:idea-lab if you need to loosen constraints.
Feed winners into /collaboration:concept-forge to score/prioritize.
