+# Constraint Library
+
+Constraint-dispatch library — voice and approach inspired by [wttdotm.com/prompts.html](https://wttdotm.com/prompts.html). Adapted and expanded.
+
+Constraint plus direction is creativity. Pick a constraint, generate 3 ideas that satisfy it, ship one.
+
+## How to use
+
+The library is split by **domain affinity**:
+
+- **General** — works for any domain. Default for SPECIFICITY=NONE.
+- **Software / artifact** — when DOMAIN=ARTIFACT.
+- **Physical / object** — when DOMAIN=OBJECT.
+- **Social / collective** — when work involves other people.
+- **Lists** — domain-agnostic, more whimsical.
+
+When in doubt: pick one from General. When the user has stated a domain, pick from that domain's section. Pick by random, by mood match, or by what's nearest the user's wording. Don't enumerate all of them.
+
+Every prompt is interpreted as broadly as possible. "Does this include X?" → yes. The constraints provide direction and mild constraint; both are needed.
+
+---
+
+## General — any domain (default)
+
+**Start at the punchline.**
+Think of something that would be a funny sentence. Work backwards to make it real. *"I taught my thermostat to gaslight me"* → now build it.
+
+**High concept, low effort.**
+A deep idea, lazily executed. The concept should be brilliant. The implementation should take an afternoon. If it takes longer, you're overthinking it.
+
+**Take two.**
+Remember an old project of yours. Do it again from scratch. No looking at the original. See what changed about how you think.
+
+**Blatantly copy something.**
+Pick something you admire — a tool, an artwork, an interface. Recreate it from scratch. The learning is in the gap between your version and theirs.
+
+**Translate.**
+Take something meant for one audience and make it understandable by another. A research paper as a children's book. An API as a board game. A song as an architecture diagram.
+
+**Make a self-portrait.**
+Be yourself? Be fake? Be real? In code, in data, in sound, in a directory structure, on paper, in clay.
+
+**Make a mirror.**
+Something that reflects the viewer back at themselves. A website that shows your browsing history. A CLI that prints your git sins. A garment that changes color based on the wearer's heart rate.
+
+**Make a pun.**
+The stupider the better. Physical, digital, linguistic, visual. The project IS the joke.
+
+**Hostile UI.**
+Make something intentionally painful to use. A password field that requires 47 conditions. A form where every label lies. A door that judges you. The cruelty is the design.
+
+**The useless tree.**
+Make something useless. Deliberately, completely, beautifully useless. No utility. No purpose. No point. That's the point.
+
+**One million of something.**
+One million is both a lot and not that much. One million pixels is a 1MB photo. One million API calls is a Tuesday. One million of anything becomes interesting at scale.
+
+**Make something that dies.**
+A website that loses a feature every day. A chatbot that forgets. A countdown to nothing. A garment that wears out as it's worn. An exercise in rot, killing, or letting go.
+
+**Doors, walls, borders, barriers, boundaries.**
+Things that intermediate two places: opening, closing, permeating, excluding, combining.
+
+**Borges week.**
+Something inspired by the Argentine. The library of Babel. The map that is the territory. Two writers separated by 400 years writing the same book.
+
+**An idea that comes from a book.**
+Read something — anything, deeply, even a footnote. Make something inspired by it.
+
+**Go to a museum.**
+Project ensues.
+
+**Office Space printer scene.**
+Capture the same energy. Channel the catharsis of destroying the thing that frustrates you.
+
+**NPC loot.**
+What do you drop when you die? What do you take on your journey? Build the item.
+
+**Mythological objects and entities.**
+Pandora's box, the ocarina of time, the palantir, the sword in the stone, the seal of Solomon. Build the artifact.
+
+**The more things change, the more they stay the same.**
+Reflect on time, difference, and similarity. Same neighborhood different decade. Same recipe different cook.
+
+---
+
+## Software / artifact (DOMAIN=ARTIFACT)
+
+**Solve your own itch.**
+Build the tool you wished existed this week. Under 50 lines. Ship it today.
+
+**Automate the annoying thing.**
+What's the most tedious part of your workflow? Script it away. Two hours to fix a problem that costs you five minutes a day.
+
+**The CLI tool that should exist.**
+Think of a command you've wished you could type. `git undo-that-thing-i-just-did`. `docker why-is-this-broken`. `npm explain-yourself`. Now build it.
+
+**Nothing new except glue.**
+Make something entirely from existing APIs, libraries, and datasets. The only original contribution is how you connect them.
+
+**Frankenstein week.**
+Take something that does X and make it do Y. A git repo that plays music. A Dockerfile that generates poetry. A cron job that sends compliments.
+
+**Subtract.**
+How much can you remove from a codebase before it breaks? Strip a tool to its minimum viable function. Delete until only the essence remains.
+
+**Something for your desktop.**
+You spend a lot of time there. Spruce it up. A custom clock, a pet that lives in your terminal, a wallpaper that changes based on your git activity.
+
+**One screen, two screen, old screen, new screen.**
+Take something you associate with one screen and put it on a very different one. DOOM on a smart fridge. A spreadsheet on a watch. A terminal in a painting.
+
+**Code as koan, koan as code.**
+What is the sound of one hand clapping? A program that answers a question it wasn't asked. A function that returns before it's called.
+
+**Artificial stupidity.**
+Make fun of AI by showcasing its faults. Mistrain it. Lie to it. Build the opposite of what AI is supposed to be good at.
+
+**"I use technology in order to hate it properly."**
+Make something inspired by the tension between loving and hating your tools.
+
+**I mean, I GUESS you could store something that way.**
+The project works when you can save and open something. Store data in DNS caches. Encode a novel in emoji. Write a file system on top of something that isn't a file system.
+
+**I mean, I GUESS those could be pixels.**
+The project works when you can display an image. Render anything visual in a medium that wasn't meant for rendering.
+
+**Text is the universal interface.**
+Build something where text is the only interface. No buttons, no graphics, just words in and words out. Text can go in and out of almost anything.
+
+---
+
+## Physical / object (DOMAIN=OBJECT)
+
+**Do a lot of math.**
+Generative geometry, shader golf, mathematical art, computational origami. Time to re-learn what an arcsin is.
+
+**Lights!**
+LED throwies, light installations, illuminated anything. Make something that glows.
+
+---
+
+## Social / collective
+
+**Create a means of distribution.**
+The project works when you can use what you made to give something to somebody else.
+
+**Make a way to communicate.**
+The project works when you can hold a conversation with someone else using what you created. Not chat — something weirder.
+
+**Write a love letter.**
+To a person, a programming language, a game, a place, a tool. On paper, in code, in music, in light. Mail it.
+
+**Mail chess / asynchronous games.**
+Something turn-based played with no time limit. No requirement to be there at the same time. The game happens in the gaps.
+
+**Twitch plays X.**
+A group of people share control over something. Collective input, emergent behavior.
+
+---
+
+## Lists (any domain, slightly more whimsical)
+
+**Lists!**
+Itemizations, taxonomies, exhaustive recountings, iterations. This one. A list of list of lists.
+
+**Did you mean *recursion*?**
+Did you mean recursion?
+
+**Animals.**
+Lions, and tigers, and bears. Crab logic gates. Fish plays the stock market.
+
+**Cats.**
+Where would the internet be without them.
+
+---

+## Attribution
+
+Constraint approach inspired by [wttdotm.com/prompts.html](https://wttdotm.com/prompts.html). Original v1 of this library was substantially adapted from there. This expanded version groups constraints by domain affinity for use with the routing logic in `SKILL.md`.
