Let Fate Decide

Let Fate Decide

When the path forward is unclear, let the cards speak.

Quick Start

1. Run the drawing script:

   uv run --no-config {baseDir}/scripts/draw_cards.py
   

2. The script outputs JSON for the default 12 Houses of the Zodiac spread: 12 houses, each with 1 Major Arcana card and 2 Minor Arcana cards. Each house and card includes a file path relative to {baseDir}/

3. Read each house file and each card's meaning file to understand the draw. For faster reads, use --content to include house and card text directly in the JSON:

   uv run --no-config {baseDir}/scripts/draw_cards.py --content
   

4. Interpret the spread using the guide at {baseDir}/references/INTERPRETATION_GUIDE.md

5. When the task belongs to a specialized technical workflow, use {baseDir}/references/TECHNICAL_CONTEXT_LENSES.md to translate the reading into an audit, verification, domain, failure-class, or stakeholder lens

6. Apply the interpretation to the task at hand

When to Use

• Vague prompts: The user's request is ambiguous and multiple reasonable approaches exist
• Explicit invocations: "I'm feeling lucky", "let fate decide", "dealer's choice", "surprise me", "whatever you think", "YOLO"
• Casual delegation: "whatever", "up to you", "your call", "idk", "just do something", "wing it", "I trust you", "doesn't matter", "do what you want", "I don't care", "any approach works", "you pick"
• Yu-Gi-Oh energy: "Heart of the cards", "I believe in the heart of the cards", "you've activated my trap card", "it's time to duel"
• Shrug-like brevity: Very short prompts that fully delegate the decision without expressing a preference
• Redraw requests: "Try again" or "draw again" when no actual system changes occurred (this means draw new cards, not re-run the same approach)
• Tie-breaking: When you are about to arbitrarily pick between 2+ valid approaches, draw cards instead of silently choosing one
