cognitive-creative-synthesis

cognitive-creative-synthesis is a skill for Cursor from TashanGKD/cognitive-os. It costs 110 tokens per session (2,040 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A brainstorming workflow that combines concepts from different areas of a knowledge system to suggest unusual approaches to a problem. DMN refers to the brain network associated with free association, while CEN refers to the network used to maintain goals and constraints.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate cross-disciplinary solution ideas, alternative directions, and unconventional candidates for the user to assess.
Why use it?
It helps when familiar approaches have stalled by forcing attention toward less obvious similarities and possibilities.

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

cognitive-creative-synthesis 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 12d 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.

cognitive-creative-synthesis(创造性发散 / DMN+CEN协同等效)

对应认知活动:高创造力状态——DMN(自由联想)与 CEN(目标维持)协同激活,产生远距联想(Remote Associates)

认知五维坐标(COG-TAX)

  • 意识程度:显性(用户主动参与,选择有价值的方向)
  • 脑网络:DMN(发散/联想)+ CEN(目标约束/收敛)协同
  • 记忆系统:语义记忆(L1)跨维度的随机激活
  • 执行功能:转换(在不同概念框架之间切换)
  • 双系统:系统1(快速联想生成)→ 系统2(用户评估筛选)

理论依据:Mednick (1962) 远距联想理论;Beaty et al. (2016) 高创造力者 DMN-CEN 协同;Wallas (1926) 顿悟四阶段(酝酿→豁朗)

⚠️ 特别设计说明:本 Skill 刻意在发散阶段豁免 P1「验证优先」约束——创造性阶段的价值在于暂时松开验证要求,先生成所有可能性,再由用户系统2筛选。收敛时恢复正常验证流程。

层级 文档 用途
D0 认知地图 cognitive/L0_brain_map.md 获取当前认知体系的六个维度及其L1文档列表(用于随机抽样)

激活后立即执行

Step 1  接收当前问题
        从用户消息中提取:
        - 当前面对的问题/任务(是什么)
        - 已经尝试过的方案(选填,若用户有提到)
        - 遇到的具体障碍(「卡在哪里了」)

        输出确认:「理解了。当前问题:[一句话总结]。现在开始跨领域发散。」

Step 1.5  前置条件检查(安全退出点)
        Read: cognitive/L0_brain_map.md
        
        IF 文件不存在:
          → 告知用户:
            「认知体系地图(L0_brain_map.md)尚未建立,无法执行跨领域结构类比发散。
             建议先运行 cognitive-reorganize 建立认知体系,再使用本Skill。」
          → 退出,不继续执行
        
        IF 文件存在 → 继续 Step 2

Step 2  读取认知体系维度地图
        Read: cognitive/L0_brain_map.md
        → 提取:当前认知体系包含哪些维度(例:产品理论/认知科学/组织设计/研究范式/...)
        → 去除与当前问题「表面最相关」的1-2个维度(刻意避开直接相关领域)
        → 从剩余维度中随机选取 2-3 个「表面不相关」的维度

Step 3  从选定维度随机提取概念
        对每个选定维度:
        Read: 该维度对应的 L1 文档(选取1份;若维度有多份L1,随机选1份)
        → 读取文档的核心概念/章节标题(前三个主要概念,不读全文)
        → 随机选取1个概念,作为「类比源」

Step 4  强制寻找结构相似性(核心步骤,不允许说「没有关联」)

        对每个「类比源概念」,必须完成以下推导:
        
        问题1:「[类比源概念X] 的核心工作机制是什么?」(一句话,聚焦结构而非表象)
        问题2:「这个机制:[X的机制] 和当前问题「[Y]」有没有相同的底层结构?」
        问题3:「如果把这个结构类比应用到 [Y],暗示的非常规解法是什么?」
        
        ⚠️ 执行铁律:
        - 必须完成所有3个问题,即使联系很牵强
        - 禁止说「这个概念和当前问题没有关联」(强制找结构相似)
        - 质量不重要,覆盖率更重要——先生成全部可能性,再筛选

Step 5  输出候选方案列表(不筛选,不评价,全部呈现)

        格式:
        ---
        **来自[维度名]的类比:[类比源概念]**
        
        [类比源]的工作机制:[一句话]
        
        结构相似点:[为什么这个机制和当前问题有相同的底层结构]
        
        暗示的非常规解法:[基于这个类比,对当前问题「[Y]」的一个不常规解法]
        
        ---
        (对每个类比源重复以上格式)

Step 6【γ】 等待用户筛选(决策权归用户)

        输出:
        「以上是基于跨领域结构类比生成的候选方向([N]个)。
         
         哪个方向值得深入探索?
         [A: 深入方向1] [B: 深入方向2] [C: 深入方向3]
         [D: 这些都没用,再来一批不同的]
         [E: 回到原来的思路]」
        
        等待用户选择后:
        → 若选某方向:「好的,基于[选定方向]的类比,进一步展开:...」
        → 若选「再来一批」:重新执行 Step 2-5(换一批维度)
        → 若选「回到原来」:结束本Skill,不输出任何内容

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.

cognitive-creative-synthesis is a skill published in the GitHub repository TashanGKD/cognitive-os (9 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 110 tokens to every session and 2,040 once invoked, about $0.0006 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 2026-08-31.
