Direction picker

Generative work benefits from explicit divergence before it converges. The direction-picker atom asks the agent to draft 3-5 distinct directions (visual / structural / tonal) and emit them in an inline <question-form> with a direction-cards question so the user picks the winning direction before the expensive generation pass. The submitted choice returns as the next user message.

Convergence

The atom completes when the submitted form answer contains a direction id. The agent's next turn must lock onto that direction — backtracking forces a fresh devloop iteration of the picker stage.

Anti-patterns the prompt fragment forbids

• More than 5 directions on one turn (decision fatigue).
• Two directions that are minor variations of each other.
• Locking the user into a single direction with cosmetic alternates (every direction must be a defensible standalone bet).
