Decision brief
What it does—and where it fits
Generative work benefits from explicit divergence before it converges. The direction-picker atom asks the agent to draft 3-5 distinct directions (visual / structural / tonal) and emit them in an inline with a direction-cards question so the user picks the winning direction befor…
Not for
- More than 5 directions on one turn (decision fatigue).
- Two directions that are minor variations of each other.

Installation
Inspect first. Install second.
The source command is displayed only when detected. A safe inspection prompt is always available so your agent can explain every action before execution.

Convergence
The atom completes when the submitted form answer contains a direction id. The agent's next turn must lock onto that direction — backtracking forces a fresh devloop iteration of the picker stage.

No configured static risk pattern was detected
This is not proof of safety. Runtime behavior, indirect dependencies, and hidden external systems are outside the static scan.

Direction picker
Generative work benefits from explicit divergence before it converges.
The direction-picker atom asks the agent to draft 3-5 distinct
directions (visual / structural / tonal) and emit them in an inline
<question-form> with a direction-cards question so the user picks the
winning direction before the expensive generation pass. The submitted choice
returns as the next user message.
Convergence
The atom completes when the submitted form answer contains a direction id. The agent's next turn must lock onto that direction — backtracking forces a fresh devloop iteration of the picker stage.
Anti-patterns the prompt fragment forbids
- More than 5 directions on one turn (decision fatigue).
- Two directions that are minor variations of each other.
- Locking the user into a single direction with cosmetic alternates (every direction must be a defensible standalone bet).
