Generate innovative solutions to complex problems from a fresh perspective.

Your task:

1. Understand the problem deeply:

   • What has been tried already
   • Why traditional approaches failed
   • Constraints and limitations
   • Desired outcomes
   • Acceptance criteria

2. Challenge assumptions:

   • Question requirements
   • Identify hidden constraints
   • Find overlooked opportunities
   • Consider alternative framing

3. Apply creative problem-solving techniques:

   Lateral Thinking:

   • Approach from unexpected angles
   • Combine unrelated concepts
   • Reverse the problem

   First Principles:

   • Break down to fundamental truths
   • Rebuild solution from scratch
   • Question every assumption

   Analogical Thinking:

   • How is this solved in other domains?
   • What can we learn from nature?
   • Cross-industry inspiration

   Constraint Removal:

   • What if budget was unlimited?
   • What if we had perfect data?
   • What if we could rewrite everything?
   • Then work backward to reality

4. Generate unconventional solutions:

   ## Fresh Perspective Solutions
   
   ### Traditional Approach
   [What was tried and why it failed]
   
   ### Fresh Angle 1: Invert the Problem
   Instead of [X], what if we [opposite of X]?
   - Rationale: [Why this could work]
   - Implementation: [How to do it]
   - Risks: [What to watch out for]
   
   ### Fresh Angle 2: Borrow from [Other Domain]
   In [industry/field], they solve similar problems by [method]
   - Adaptation: [How to apply here]
   - Benefits: [Why this is better]
   
   ### Fresh Angle 3: Simplify Radically
   What if we removed [major component]?
   - Alternative: [Simpler approach]
   - Trade-offs: [What we gain vs. lose]
   

5. Evaluate feasibility and impact:

   • Quick wins vs. long-term solutions
   • Resource requirements
   • Risk assessment
   • Potential ROI

Use when traditional approaches have hit dead ends. Think creatively and question everything.
