feat(design-thinking): create dt-method-04-deep.instructions.md (#709)
# Pull Request
## Description
Create on-demand deep instruction file for Method 4: Brainstorming
(`dt-method-04-deep.instructions.md`). This file extends the
method-tier's Ideation Facilitator and Convergence Guide coaching hats
with:
- **Advanced Facilitation Techniques** (5 techniques): Brainwriting
Protocol (6-3-5), Morphological Analysis, Provocation Technique (Po),
Attribute Listing and Modification, Round-Robin Forced Connections
- **Creative Block Recovery** (4 techniques): Assumption Reversal,
Random Input Technique, Constraint Manipulation, Cross-Domain
Perspective Adoption
- **Advanced Convergence Frameworks** (4 frameworks): Impact/Effort
Matrix, Dot Voting with Constraints, Concept Clustering with Gap
Analysis, Weighted D/F/V Scoring
- **Cross-Pollination from Analogous Industries** (4 subsections):
Manufacturing→Software, Healthcare→Manufacturing, Energy→Healthcare,
Analogy Mining Protocol
Includes solo/AI-coach adaptations for brainwriting and dot voting
techniques. Differentiates cross-domain perspective adoption from
method-tier's in-domain perspective shifting.
4 H2 sections, 17 H3 subsections, 17 coaching prompts, ~214 lines.
## Related Issue(s)
Closes #600
## Type of Change
Select all that apply:
**Code & Documentation:**
- [x] New feature (non-breaking change adding functionality)
**AI Artifacts:**
- [x] Reviewed contribution with `prompt-analyze` agent and addressed
all feedback
- [x] Copilot instructions (`.github/instructions/*.instructions.md`)
## Sample Prompts (for AI Artifact Contributions)
**User Request:**
"I'm coaching a brainstorming session and my team has run out of ideas
after only generating 8 concepts. The three basic techniques from the
method-tier aren't producing enough variety."
**Execution Flow:**
1. DT coach detects Method 4 brainstorming context from
`.copilot-tracking/dt/**/method-04*` artifacts
2. Coach loads `dt-method-04-deep.instructions.md` for advanced guidance
3. Coach identifies creative block scenario → navigates to Creative
Block Recovery section
4. Coach applies Assumption Reversal technique with coaching prompt:
"What are you assuming must be true here? What solutions appear if that
assumption is reversed?"
5. If block persists, coach escalates through Random Input, Constraint
Manipulation, then Cross-Domain Perspective Adoption
**Output Artifacts:**
Additional divergent ideas captured in
`.copilot-tracking/dt/{project-slug}/method-04-brainstorming/divergent-ideas.md`,
documented with the technique that generated each idea.
**Success Indicators:**
- Ideation momentum recovers and team exceeds 15-idea minimum target
- Ideas span 4-6 different solution categories
- Coaching prompts produce actionable responses, not confusion
- Solo users with AI coach can apply brainwriting and dot voting using
the adaptation guidance
## Testing
- Executed prompt-analyze workflow: 21/23 pass, 2 warnings (resolved)
- Addressed F-02 (major): added solo/AI-coach adaptations for
Brainwriting and Dot Voting
- Addressed F-06 (minor): renamed "Perspective Shifting" to
"Cross-Domain Perspective Adoption"
- Validation rerun: all 9 regression checks pass
