Skill6 starsChanged 8 months agoNo licenceView on GitHub
Break mental blockers using Oblique Strategies (Brian Eno/Peter Schmidt). Use this skill whenever the user says they're stuck, blocked, in a rut, can't decide, overthinking, going in circles, need a fresh perspective, or asks for a creative prompt / random strategy / oblique strategy / lateral thinking. Also trigger when the user says 'draw a card', 'give me a strategy', 'help me think differently', 'I'm blocked on...', 'unstick me', 'shake things up', or any variation of seeking creative unblocking. Even if the user just says 'oblique', 'Eno', 'OS Skill', or 'OS' (short for Oblique Strategies), use this skill.

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.
