think-question-burstlisted

Generates a rapid burst of questions about a problem (questions only, no answers), then ranks them for which would most change the approach and selects the single most catalytic one to pursue, producing a ranked question set. Use when you are stuck, too attached to one framing, or need a better question before answering.

A question burst generates many questions about a problem in a short, constrained burst (questions only, no answers), to break attachment to the current framing, then ranks them and picks the single most catalytic one. Because a model can generate questions endlessly, the value here is not the generation, it is the **ranking and selection**: this skill produces a ranked set ending in one chosen next question, never a bulk dump. The output is that ranked question set. ## When to Use - Stuck, or over-attached to a single framing of the problem. - At the start of exploring an ambiguous problem, before committing to an answer. - When a better question would unlock more than another answer. ## When NOT to Use - To produce a bulk list of questions with no ranking or selection (low signal; the main failure mode for an AI). - When the issue needs answers and convergence, not more questions. - When the catalytic question is already known. ## Instructions When asked to run a question burst, follow these steps: 1. **State the problem** in one line. 2. **Burst.** Generate roughly 12 to 20 questions about it. Questions only, no answers, no preamble. Mix angles: why, how, what-if, who, what-would-change-if. Keep it brief. 3. **Rank.** Order the questions by how much answering them would change the a
