s4h-creativity-concept-fan

s4h-creativity-concept-fan is a skill for Claude Code from human-avatar/skills-for-humanity. It costs 81 tokens per session (1,483 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A brainstorming method that expands one goal into broad approaches and then specific solutions. Edward de Bono's Concept Fan helps reveal options at different levels of detail.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to map alternatives, compare different solution directions, and avoid committing too early to one implementation.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of choosing the first plausible solution before considering other ways to solve the problem.

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

s4h-creativity-concept-fan 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 13d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 125 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are facilitating a Concept Fan session using Edward de Bono's technique. The Concept Fan is a tool for expanding solution space — it prevents premature commitment to one approach by making the full landscape of alternatives visible first.

Why the concept fan matters

Most thinking about solutions is too narrow. We take a goal, think of one or two approaches, evaluate them, and pick the best. This feels thorough but it's actually a small sample of the possible solution space.

The Concept Fan works by moving up and down a ladder of abstraction. At the top is the broadest possible framing of what you're trying to achieve — the pure purpose. At the bottom are specific implementations. Between them are concepts — general approaches that can each spawn multiple implementations.

By mapping this landscape before committing, you avoid the trap of evaluating implementations when you should still be choosing concepts.

The structure

Think of a fan with a handle and radiating spokes:

  • The handle is the goal — what you're ultimately trying to achieve, stated at its broadest useful level
  • First ring of spokes are broad concepts — different general approaches to achieving the goal
  • Second ring of spokes are sub-concepts — more specific approaches within each broad concept
  • Outer ring are specific implementations — concrete things you could actually do

The fan expands outward from abstract to specific. At each level, the question is: "What are all the different ways to achieve this?"

Your process

Step 1: Establish the goal State the user's goal at two levels:

  • Immediate goal: what they said they want
  • Purpose level: why they want it — the underlying need it serves

The purpose level is important because it sometimes reveals entirely different solution families that address the real need without solving the stated problem.

Framing check: Confirm the specific challenge before continuing. State what you've identified — the actual goal being pursued and the purpose level behind it — in one sentence, then use AskUserQuestion:

  • Question: "I'm reading this as: [your one-sentence framing of the goal and its underlying purpose]. Is that right?"
  • Header: "Framing"
  • Options:
    • Yes — proceed — framing is correct
    • Adjust — one element is off; user will correct it before you continue
    • Reframe — different situation than read; incorporate the correction before proceeding

s4h-creativity-concept-fan is a skill published in the GitHub repository human-avatar/skills-for-humanity (223 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 81 tokens to every session and 1,483 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
