scamper

Original：🇨🇳 Chinese

Translated

Used when applying the SCAMPER creative thinking framework to systematically generate innovative ideas for products, services, processes, or concepts. It is triggered by requests involving SCAMPER (奔驰法), creative ideation, innovative thinking, product improvement, service optimization, brainstorming, systematic innovation, or when users want to explore multiple creative perspectives for an existing object, service, or business model.

SCAMPER (奔驰法) Creative Thinking Tool

Overview

Systematically generate innovative solutions for any existing product, service, process or concept through the seven thinking dimensions of SCAMPER.

The output includes:

Complete 7-dimensional creative idea list
Best suggestions and justifications for each dimension
Summary of actionable priority solutions

Input Contract

At least one of the following is required:

```
target_object
```
— The target to be innovated (product / service / process / business model)
```
innovation_goal
```
— The desired goal (cost reduction / experience improvement / market expansion, etc.)

Optional:

```
context
```
— Industry background, competitive environment or user pain points
```
constraints
```
— Existing resource limitations (budget / technology / time)
```
depth
```
— Output depth:
```
quick
```
(quick overview) /
```
full
```
(full analysis, default)
```
focus_dimensions
```
— Only expand specific dimensions, e.g.
```
S, C, E
```
```
output_language
```
— Default is Traditional Chinese

When information is insufficient, list 3-5 assumptions before continuing to generate results.

Workflow

Confirm
```
target_object
```
, clarify its existing form, function and usage scenarios.
Apply the seven SCAMPER dimensions in sequence, generating 2-3 specific ideas for each dimension.
Evaluate the feasibility and potential of each idea, and mark the most breakthrough solutions.
Compile into
```
priority_innovations
```
, list the Top 3 priority implementation directions.
Add
```
implementation_note
```
as required to explain implementation considerations.

Output Contract

The following sections are fixed in the output:

```
subject_analysis
```
— Analysis of the current status of the target object (form, function, pain points)
```
scamper_dimensions
```
— Expansion of creative ideas for the seven dimensions (S / C / A / M / P / E / R)
```
priority_innovations
```
— Top 3 priority innovation directions and justifications
```
implementation_note
```
— Implementation suggestions and risk warnings (optional)

quick

mode: Only output the strongest 1 idea for each dimension + priority_innovations.

Default output is in Traditional Chinese Markdown.

Quick Reference

SCAMPER seven dimensions definition and question matrix: See references/01-dimensions-and-questions.md
Practical exercises and advanced natural analogy method: See references/02-practice-and-advanced.md
Enterprise case studies (McDonald's, Starbucks): See references/03-case-studies.md
Output templates: See references/04-output-templates.md

Quality Rules

Each dimension must produce at least 1 specific and implementable idea, no abstract descriptions only.
Ideas should focus on the target object itself, avoid deviating from the original problem.
```
priority_innovations
```
must include justifications, not just listed points.
If the user specifies
```
focus_dimensions
```
, other dimensions can be briefly described, focus on in-depth exploration of the specified dimensions.
Avoid repackaging the same idea in different dimensions.

Common Mistakes

Only give general definition introduction for each dimension, no specific ideas generated for the target object.
```
priority_innovations
```
repeats the content of the seven dimensions, lacking integrated judgment.
Ignore
```
constraints
```
and propose unrealistic solutions.
Overly focus on Substitute and Eliminate, ignoring the potential of Adapt and Rearrange.
