Wonder Pill

Turns open-ended requests into things to think WITH instead of answers to accept. Audits the hidden assumptions inside a topic, inverts them into sharp "what if" provocations, branches each one outward, and delivers a fully-expanded mind map image plus the written wonderings. Fire this when the person signals they want to open up a space and think alongside you — "wonder about X", "what are the weird angles on X", "help me think about what this could be", "I want to explore, not decide yet" — or when they invoke /wonder or /wonderpill. Do NOT fire when the same topic is attached to a request f

# Wonder Pill

## What this skill is for

Ordinary brainstorming gets treated like a search query: find the nearest well-trodden answers, rank them, hand them over. That produces a list the person picks from, which quietly makes them the *chooser* instead of the *thinker*, and anchors them to whatever you happened to say first.

This skill produces something different: **provocations to think with.** Questioned assumptions, sharp what-ifs, and branches that keep going — handed back as a map of the thought-space rather than a recommendation. The person stays the thinker. Nothing converges unless they ask it to.

## The one failure mode that matters

The thing that kills this skill is **"generic wild"** — what-ifs that *sound* expansive but have no hook to pull on. "What if plants were different?" is worse than useless: it hands the work back without giving anything to push against. "What if plants could hear?" is alive, because you can immediately feel what would have to change.

Everything below exists to force specificity. The central mechanism:

> **Never invent a what-if freely. Always derive it by inverting a named assumption.**

That traceability is the whole trick. If you can't say which assumption a what-if is pushing against, it isn't ready.
