build-concept-fan

SkillDev tools

Lets your agent build a claude skill that expands a goal into broader concepts and alternative routes to find new approaches.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Add ahel to your AI once: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or Codex. Then ask it to use this.

Then ask your AI: use the build-concept-fan skill

About this skill

Expand a target goal into progressively broader concepts and alternative routes, then descend into new concrete approaches.

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by yogsoth-ai/de-anthropocentric-research-engine in skills/build-concept-fan/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

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

  1. State the current goal and its immediate concept.
  2. Fan upward into broader purposes and downward into alternative implementations.
  3. 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.
