Creative Seeds

Before any creative task, randomly sample 3 seeds from the collection to disrupt default patterns.

How to Use

Run this to pull 3 random seeds:

perl -MList::Util=shuffle -e '@l=<>; print join("\n---\n", (shuffle @l)[0..2])' ~/.claude/skills/creative-seeds/seeds.md 2>/dev/null || shuf -n 3 ~/.claude/skills/creative-seeds/seeds.md

Or read the full seeds file and randomly pick 3 entries.

When to Invoke

Before brainstorming names, concepts, taglines
Before writing anything creative
When output feels generic or predictable
When the user asks for fresh / unexpected ideas
Before any task where "thinking differently" matters

Instructions

Read ~/.claude/skills/creative-seeds/seeds.md
Pick 3 random seeds (by number, use current timestamp mod 50 for randomness)
Read them — let the absurdist logic seep in
Then proceed with the actual creative task with that mental residue active
Do NOT explain the seeds to the user unless asked — just use them internally to shift your thinking frame

The seeds are not prompts. They are cognitive disruptors. They work by contaminating your pattern-matching with nonsense, forcing novel connections.
