Generate alternative approaches for every known method

  • Identifies and generates distinct alternatives to each known approach.
  • Depends on systematic analysis of known methods and innovative thinking techniques.
  • Uses various lateral thinking, provocation-and-movement, random-entry, concept-fan, challenge-operation, six-hats-ideation, movement-extraction methods to ensure comprehensive coverage.
  • Delivers generated alternatives directly to the user or agent for consideration.

# Alternatives Generation

Generate alternatives for every known approach.

## Execution

Subagent — spawned via subagent-spawning/spawn-agent skill.

## Why Subagent

Alternatives generation requires systematically considering each known approach and producing genuinely different alternatives (not variations). Benefits from dedicated context that can maintain the "different, not better" mindset.

ablation-brainstormRemove components one by one, observe system changes to reveal hidden dependencies and generate ideas from structural gaps.
ablation-component-mappingMap system architecture to ablatable units for ablation studies
ablation-designDesign ablation studies to isolate component contributions in ML systems
ablation-executionRemove components one by one from a system, record the response/impact of each removal.
abp-vulnerability-classificationClassify assumptions on 2 axes — load-bearing (how much conclusion depends on it) × vulnerable (how likely to be false). Focuses attention on High-Load × High-Vulnerable quadrant.
abstraction-extractionExtract abstract principles from concrete domain cases. Strips domain-specific details to reveal transferable mechanisms.
abstraction-ladderPerform bisociation at multiple abstraction levels
abstraction-ladderingMove between concrete and abstract framings — 3 levels up (Why?) and 3 levels down (How?) to find the most productive research level.
abstraction-to-designAbstract biological principle to design principle. Bridge from biology to engineering.
