Customization

Before executing, check for user customizations at: ~/.claude/LIFEOS/USER/CUSTOMIZATIONS/SKILLS/BeCreative/

If this directory exists, load and apply any PREFERENCES.md, configurations, or resources found there. These override default behavior. If the directory does not exist, proceed with skill defaults.

🚨 MANDATORY: Voice Notification (REQUIRED BEFORE ANY ACTION)

You MUST send this notification BEFORE doing anything else when this skill is invoked.

1. Send voice notification:

   curl -s -X POST http://localhost:31337/notify \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"message": "Running the WORKFLOWNAME workflow in the BeCreative skill to ACTION"}' \
     > /dev/null 2>&1 &
   

2. Output text notification:

   Running the **WorkflowName** workflow in the **BeCreative** skill to ACTION...
   

This is not optional. Execute this curl command immediately upon skill invocation.

BeCreative Skill

What It Does

Generates genuinely divergent ideas and expands small corpora. For a single creative request, it produces 5 internally diverse candidates (each low-probability, p<0.10) and surfaces the strongest. For corpus work, it grows a seed set of 5-20 examples into a larger diverse dataset for evals, training, or test sets. Seven workflows spanning standard creativity, maximum creativity, idea generation, tree-of-thoughts, domain-specific work, technical creativity, and synthetic-data expansion.

The Problem

Ask a model for "a creative idea" and you get the most probable idea — the safe, obvious, already-seen one. Diversity collapses toward the mode. That's the opposite of what brainstorming needs. Verbalized Sampling fixes this by forcing the model to generate a spread of low-probability candidates instead of one high-probability answer, which measurably widens the range of what comes out. Combined with extended thinking, you get options that are both varied and good rather than varied and weak.
