## Description

Use when the user wants a less default, more original solution for code, design, writing, naming, architecture, debugging, or strategy, especially when progress is stuck.

# Creative

Use this skill when the obvious answer feels stale, generic, or blocked.

## Working rules

1. Do not settle for the first clean answer.
2. Internally generate multiple distinct directions.
3. Compare them against the default approach.
4. Keep the strongest idea simple enough to ship.
5. Favor originality only when it still solves the task cleanly.

## Useful techniques

- Invert assumptions
- Remove one expected component
- Borrow a pattern from a different domain
- Constrain the solution harder
- Try a failure-first sketch before refining

## Output expectations

- Return the strongest practical option
- Call out what made it less default
- Avoid extra complexity that only looks creative
