creativity-engine

creativity-engine is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Mark393295827/third-brain-v7-skills. It costs 28 tokens per session (833 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An idea-development method for turning a defined problem into several genuinely different options and small tests. It uses constraints, comparisons with other fields, and experiments to check which ideas work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create and compare solutions, choose promising options, and define the smallest experiment, participant, success threshold, budget, and stopping rule for each.
Why use it?
It avoids settling on the first plausible answer or mistaking an interesting idea for proven demand. It makes uncertainty visible and limits the cost of testing.

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

creativity-engine 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 89 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Creativity Engine

<skill_contract> Defined problem, target user, desired change, constraints, prior attempts, and experiment budget. Three non-equivalent options with scored mechanisms and falsifiable minimum experiments. Each selected option has a hypothesis, smallest artifact, participant, threshold, budget, stop rule, and failure learning. <non_goals>Unbounded brainstorming, novelty without utility, polished prose before diversity, or presenting ideas as validated demand.</non_goals>

Create option value by combining mechanisms, constraints, and analogies, then convert the strongest options into minimum experiments.

Usage Template

Provide: problem, target user, desired change, constraints, existing attempts, and experiment budget. Optional: domains or concepts to combine.

Workflow

Rewrite the request as For [user], change [state] under [constraints], measured by [signal]. Extract reusable building blocks: actors, assets, mechanisms, channels, incentives, and constraints.

<unknowns_gate>

If no user, problem, or constraint is available, return NEEDS_INPUT with one discriminating probe. Treat market demand, technical feasibility, and user behavior as testable unknowns, not assumptions to hide.

</unknowns_gate>

  1. Generate 10-20 combinations across at least three mechanisms or domains.
  2. Include inversion, subtraction, constraint removal, and one distant analogy.
  3. Cluster duplicates by underlying mechanism, not wording.
  4. Score survivors on expected value, test difficulty, distinctiveness, reversibility, and evidence gap.
  5. Select three non-equivalent options.
  6. For each, define a minimum experiment: hypothesis, smallest artifact, target participant, success threshold, budget, stop rule, and learning captured on failure.

Do not optimize prose before option diversity. A useful failed experiment is better than an impressive concept with no falsifier.

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.

creativity-engine is a skill published in the GitHub repository Mark393295827/third-brain-v7-skills (138 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 833 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
