Strategies are not personalities. They are moves — twelve structured ways to reframe or attack a question. The Mirror prescribes them when it notices a gap in how you tend to ask things.

The canonical set is:

• Inversion — Ask how this fails. Work backward from the failure.
• Premortem — Imagine the project is over and went badly. Write the post-mortem now.
• First Principles — Strip the question to underlying truths. Rebuild from there.
• Steelmanning — Argue the opposing position as well as its strongest advocate would.
• Counterfactuals — Ask what would have to be true for this to be false.
• Stakeholder Rotation — Answer from three different people's perspectives.
• Time Dilation — Answer as if you have a year. Then a week. Then an hour.
• Second-Order Effects — What does this cause, and what does that cause?
• The Silent Question — What question are you avoiding asking?
• Reframe — State the question in completely different language.
• Why Chain — Ask why five times. Each answer becomes the next question.
• Constraint Question — What if the obvious resource was unavailable?

The public Strategies directory shows examples and starter questions for the same twelve moves.
