Generate original ideas or escape fixation.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Creativity

Create possibilities that are meaningfully different, useful for the objective, and honest about evidence. Creativity is a search process: frame the problem, generate varied preinventive material, explore it from several interpretations, develop the strongest candidates, and evaluate only after genuine alternatives exist.

Do not confuse creativity with random novelty, many synonyms, ornamental effects, unsupported claims, or a long unranked list.

## Route generation and convergence

For a brief reframe, explore distinct mechanisms and develop the result directly. Respect an already selected direction.

- **Substantial ideation, synthesis, invention, repair or search-heavy planning:** read [concept development](references/concept-development.md) and [creative search methods](references/creative-search-methods.md); use generation/exploration, flexibility/persistence and distinct families.
- **Comparing or selecting candidates:** read [convergence protocol](references/convergence-protocol.md) and [selection and validation](references/selection-validation.md); separate generation/ranking, preserve fatal constraints and test decisive uncertainty.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add thegoat395/codex-skills/creativity@sha256:caee28d1ac732e13

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260910.feff772, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
