How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

Purpose
Expand a goal into broader concepts and alternative routes, then descend into concrete approaches.
Input contract
required: [target_goal]
optional: [known_approaches, abstraction_levels, feasibility_constraints]
constraints: [each branch must state its abstraction level and relation to the goal]Procedure
- State the current goal and its immediate concept.
- Fan upward into broader purposes and downward into alternative implementations.
- Compare branches and retain distinct routes for further investigation.
Output contract
produces: [concept_fan, abstraction_branches, concrete_routes]
delta_fields: [findings, hypothesis_updates, decisions, recommended_jumps]Quality gates
- Fan contains both broader and narrower branches; duplicate wording is not counted as a new route.
Failure and counterexamples
Reject branches that merely rename the goal or violate declared feasibility constraints.
Provenance map
lateral-thinking/concept-fan: resolved.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
