cross-disciplinary-creativity

cross-disciplinary-creativity is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from deciqAI/knowledge-skills. It costs 94 tokens per session (1,693 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for creating new ideas by bringing a real working principle from another field into your own problem, rather than making a loose comparison.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps teams break down a problem, study how another field solves a related problem, and adapt that mechanism into a distinct approach.
Why use it?
It helps when an industry keeps producing similar answers or when familiar attempts have failed, while filtering out ideas that are only metaphors.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

cross-disciplinary-creativity scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Cross-Disciplinary Creativity

Overview

Importing an actual mechanism from a foreign domain and applying it structurally to a home-domain problem — producing a configuration no expert in either field could conceive alone. Not metaphor-making; the mechanism must be imported structurally, not just referenced.

Sequencing: Use AFTER [first-principles] (decomposes home domain first). Use WITH [point-line-plane-solid] (plane→solid transition). Use BEFORE [non-consensus-thinking] (to hold the non-consensus position under expert pressure).

When to Use

Use when: industry is producing structurally similar solutions; a problem has resisted all home-domain attempts; you need radical differentiation from incumbents; a foreign technology has appeared that no one in your field has noticed.

When NOT to use: home domain has well-tested solutions needing better execution; synthesis produces only metaphors; foreign mechanism is poorly understood; hours-level time pressure (synthesis requires incubation).

Coaching Novices (Adaptive Front Door)

  • Engine mode: user has a concrete case → run The Process directly.
  • Coach mode: user unfamiliar or no concrete case → guide step by step.

In Coach mode, respond one step at a time. Each [WAIT] is a hard stop — output only that step's question, then stop.

  1. "The most valuable innovations are invented by people who apply a solution from one domain to a problem in another. This skill makes that transfer deliberate."
  2. "Tell me the problem you're stuck on and what approaches have been tried. That domain boundary is where we look."
  3. "Gutenberg imported the screw press from wine production, metallurgy from his trade, oil-based ink from painters, codex format from monks. None were new — the combination was unprecedented."

[WAIT — do not advance until user responds]

  1. "Name your home-domain problem in one sentence. What three unrelated domains face the same underlying structural challenge? Pick the one you know least — that's where your mechanism may live."

[WAIT — do not advance until user responds]

  1. "Structural novelty means solutions no competitor can copy, because the mechanism is invisible to them from inside their domain."

[WAIT — do not advance until user responds]

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
