Overcome creative block by using an Oblique Strategy.

Originally create by Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt as a way to encourage lateral thinking, Oblique Strategies were originally available as a stack of cards from which you would draw a random card which held a simple prompt. See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblique_Strategies for more information.

There have been six editions. This extension for Roam Research provides the ability to draw from any of the first five editions, or a combined list containing all of the prompts from the first five editions. The prompts were sourced from https://github.com/noaoh/oblique-stratagems with thanks.

An Oblique Strategy prompt can be obtained using a Command Palette command or Roam Research Hotkey.

The following commands are available:
