Documentation

README

Excerpt

MoAI Foundation Thinking

Structured thinking toolkit for creative problem-solving and rigorous analysis. Integrates three complementary frameworks that cover the full spectrum from idea generation to critical evaluation.

Core Philosophy: Generate broadly, evaluate rigorously, question deeply. Creativity and criticism are complementary forces.

Quick Reference

What is the Thinking Toolkit?

Three integrated frameworks for structured thinking:

Critical Evaluation: Rigorous 7-step analysis to assess proposals and detect flaws
Diverge-Converge: Systematic brainstorming from 20-50 raw ideas to 3-5 validated solutions
Deep Questioning: 6-layer progressive inquiry to uncover hidden requirements and risks

When to Use Each Framework:
