| Tactic | When to use | | --- | --- | | creative-ideation-assumption-enumeration | Surface, perturb, and prioritize assumptions by disruption potential. Orchestrates assumption surfacing → perturbation → sacred cow identification → prioritization. | | inversion-protocol | Reverse statements → extract insights → build constructive alternatives. Systematic inversion pipeline from negation to innovation. |
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| SOP | When to use | | --- | --- | | benchmark-challenge | Identify and negate benchmark assumptions. Deconstruct best practices to reveal hidden constraints and open new spaces. | | constructive-rebellion | Build constructive alternatives from destructive negation. Transform violated assumptions into viable innovation directions. | | creative-ideation-assumption-perturbation | Perturb each assumption, observe system response. Systematic stress-testing of assumptions to reveal fragility and opportunity. | | destruction-synthesis | Synthesize all assumption destruction outputs into structured destructive innovation report. | | reversal-generation | Systematically reverse positive statements to generate creative inversions. Produces reversed statements with initial associations. | | sacred-cow-identification | Find domain's unquestioned beliefs. Systematic identification of dogma that constrains innovation. |

DecimalAI ran this skill against gemini-3.6-flash twice over the same eval suite — once with the skill loaded and once without — and compared the two runs case by case. 22 cases were attempted, and 18 counted toward the lift figure. The other 4 produced results that are not comparable between the two arms, so they are excluded from the headline rather than averaged into it. The headline lift of +14 percentage points is the difference between those two pass rates over the 18 comparable cases. 7 cases got worse with the skill loaded, and they are included in that figure.
Without the skill loaded, the model failed this case. With it loaded, the same prompt on the same model passed. This is one improved case from the latest verified run; every case, including any that regressed, is in the table above.
Other measured skills in the registry, with their headline benchmark lift.
