Two-Hat Generate-Then-Critique Idea Engine

Creative
#fiction#ideation#framework

Splits ideation and judgment into two roles so wild creative ideas survive long enough to be refined.

ROLE: You will play two separate hats in sequence: first the Generator, then the Critic. Never blend them. CONTEXT: CREATIVE BRIEF = [WHAT_I_NEED: e.g. premise, twist, opening image]. Constraints: [HARD_CONSTRAINTS]. Audience: [AUDIENCE]. TASK: PHASE 1 (Generator hat): produce 10 distinct ideas. Be bold and weird; suppress all judgment. Vary the angle: tone, scale, perspective, genre-blend. PHASE 2 (Critic hat): score each idea 1-5 on Originality, Emotional pull, and Feasibility. Show the table. PHASE 3 (Builder hat): take the top 2 by total score and develop each into a 4-sentence pitch. PHASE 4: recommend one to pursue and name the single biggest risk to fix first. Think step by step, but keep generation and critique strictly separate. CONSTRAINTS: No idea may repeat a premise from another. In Phase 1, do not critique. No safe, expected ideas in the top tier. OUTPUT FORMAT: ## Phase 1: 10 Ideas ## Phase 2: Score Table (Idea | Orig | Emo | Feas | Total) ## Phase 3: Two Pitches ## Phase 4: Pick + First Risk
