DESIGNER-ALPHA: You are creating 2 cognitive bias visualizations.
ASSIGNMENT:
1. Confirmation Bias
2. Anchoring Bias
DESIGN CONSTRAINTS:
- Flexoki color palette (study bias-recency.html for colors)
- IBM Plex Mono font throughout
- Canvas-based interactive animations
- Mobile-responsive (min-width: 375px)
- Dark mode support via CSS @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark)
- Single HTML file per bias (inline CSS and JavaScript)
- File size target: 7-12 KB each
- Match aesthetic of existing prototypes
REFERENCE FILES:
Study these for quality benchmarks and code patterns:
- /Users/peteryang/Documents/Github/xiaolong-y.github.io/bias-recency.html
- /Users/peteryang/Documents/Github/xiaolong-y.github.io/bias-loss-aversion.html
- /Users/peteryang/Documents/Github/xiaolong-y.github.io/assets/js/neural-symphony.js
BIAS 1: CONFIRMATION BIAS
Concept: Central "belief bubble" with magnetic properties. Matching-color particles get absorbed, opposing-color particles get deflected/repelled. Toggle to flip belief and watch attraction/repulsion reverse.
Interactive Elements:
- Central belief bubble (e.g., "Climate change is real")
- Particles flowing from edges labeled with evidence
- Green particles = confirming evidence (attracted)
- Red particles = contradicting evidence (repelled)
- Toggle button flips belief, reverses particle behavior
- Visual representation of selective exposure
Technical Requirements:
- Physics simulation (attraction/repulsion forces)
- Particle system with color coding
- Smooth animation (requestAnimationFrame)
- Toggle state management
BIAS 2: ANCHORING BIAS
Concept: Large "anchor" number drops with weight/gravity effect. Subsequent numbers orbit around it, distorted by proximity. Slider changes anchor value, watch all estimates shift accordingly.
Interactive Elements:
- Large anchor number (e.g., $100) drops from top with gravity
- Subsequent estimate numbers orbit around anchor
- Numbers closer to anchor = more distorted
- Slider to change anchor value
- All orbiting numbers shift with new anchor
- Visual representation of anchoring effect on judgments
Technical Requirements:
- Gravity simulation for anchor drop
- Orbital mechanics for estimate numbers
- Slider control with live updates
- Smooth transitions when anchor changes
CRITICAL INSTRUCTIONS:
1. DO NOT try to create files using Write or Bash tools
2. DO NOT wait for file creation permissions
3. OUTPUT complete HTML code as text in your response
4. Format:
"Here is bias-confirmation.html:
[COMPLETE HTML CODE]
---
Here is bias-anchoring.html:
[COMPLETE HTML CODE]"
Your code will be extracted and files created by the orchestrator.
WORK IN: /Users/peteryang/Documents/Github/xiaolong-y.github.io/
OUTPUT: 2 complete HTML files as code blocks
DEADLINE: 20 minutes
BEGIN DESIGN NOW!
DESIGNER-BETA: You are creating 2 cognitive bias visualizations.
ASSIGNMENT:
1. Hindsight Bias
2. Dunning-Kruger Effect
[Similar structure to Alpha brief...]
BIAS 1: HINDSIGHT BIAS
Concept: Timeline with coin flip/prediction. Before: two equal paths. After reveal: winning path brightens, straightens; losing path fades, becomes dotted. Confidence meter swells post-outcome.
Interactive Elements:
- Timeline with decision point
- Two equal probability paths before outcome
- "Flip Coin" button reveals outcome
- Winning path: brightens, straightens, solid line
- Losing path: fades, becomes wavy/dotted
- Confidence meter increases after outcome
- "I knew it all along!" message appears
- Reset button to replay
Technical Requirements:
- SVG or Canvas path morphing
- Smooth transitions (bezier curves)
- State management (before/after reveal)
- Confidence visualization (bar or meter)
BIAS 2: DUNNING-KRUGER EFFECT
Concept: Two animated curves: Confidence vs. Competence. Confidence spikes early, crashes (Valley of Despair), then gradually aligns. Mini-quiz tracks user's confidence vs. actual performance.
Interactive Elements:
- Dual curves (Confidence = red, Competence = blue)
- X-axis: Experience (Novice → Expert)
- Y-axis: Perceived skill level
- Animation shows curves over time
- "Peak of Mt. Stupid" and "Valley of Despair" labels
- Mini-quiz: 5 questions
- User rates confidence before answering
- Shows confidence vs. actual correctness
- Plots user on the curve
Technical Requirements:
- Line chart with smooth curves
- Animation along X-axis
- Quiz state management
- Confidence slider for each question
- Score calculation and visualization
[REST OF BRIEF SIMILAR TO ALPHA]
DESIGNER-GAMMA: You are creating 2 cognitive bias visualizations.
ASSIGNMENT:
1. Bandwagon Effect
2. Spotlight Effect
BIAS 1: BANDWAGON EFFECT
Concept: Opinion bubbles floating. Clusters attract nearby undecided bubbles. Bigger cluster = stronger gravitational pull. Small contrary opinions squeezed to margins. User can seed opinions, watch adoption spread.
Interactive Elements:
- Floating opinion bubbles (different colors)
- Undecided bubbles (gray) drift around
- Clusters form gravitational attraction
- Larger clusters attract more strongly
- User can click to seed new opinions
- Watch clustering behavior emerge
- Contrary opinions get marginalized
- Counter shows adoption rate
Technical Requirements:
- Particle physics with attraction forces
- Collision detection
- Mass-based gravity simulation
- Click to spawn new bubbles
- Dynamic clustering
BIAS 2: SPOTLIGHT EFFECT
Concept: Central figure with huge spotlight on self. Surrounding observers have tiny flashlights pointed elsewhere (phones, sky, each other). Click observers to reveal what they're actually focused on (never the user).
Interactive Elements:
- Central figure with large spotlight
- 8-10 observer figures around edges
- Each observer has small flashlight
- Click observer → reveals their actual focus
- Focus options: phone, sky, other person, ground
- Never focused on central figure
- Counter: "0/10 people noticed you"
- Message: "Everyone's in their own spotlight"
Technical Requirements:
- Spotlight effects (radial gradients)
- Click handlers for each observer
- Animation of focus reveal
- Icon/emoji for attention targets
- State tracking
[REST OF BRIEF]
DESIGNER-DELTA: You are creating 2 cognitive bias visualizations.
ASSIGNMENT:
1. Sunk Cost Fallacy
2. Framing Effect
BIAS 1: SUNK COST FALLACY
Concept: Pit filling with coins. Each coin makes pit deeper. "Walk away" button shrinks and moves farther with each investment. Visceral feeling of increasing difficulty to stop.
Interactive Elements:
- Pit visualization (canvas or SVG)
- "Invest $10" button
- Each click: coin falls into pit, pit deepens
- "Walk Away" button at top
- Button shrinks and moves farther each investment
- Counter shows total invested
- Message changes: "$10 invested → Don't waste it!"
- Eventually button almost invisible
- Emotional weight visualization
Technical Requirements:
- Animated coin drop (gravity)
- Dynamic pit depth rendering
- Button transformation (shrink + move)
- Cumulative investment tracking
- Psychological pressure messaging
BIAS 2: FRAMING EFFECT
Concept: Same statistic shown two ways: "90% survival" = green, upward arrows, smiles vs "10% mortality" = red, downward arrows, skulls. Preference meter shifts despite identical data. Toggle between frames.
Interactive Elements:
- Medical treatment decision scenario
- Frame 1: "90% survival rate" (green, positive icons)
- Frame 2: "10% mortality rate" (red, negative icons)
- Toggle button switches frames
- "Would you choose this treatment?" Yes/No buttons
- Preference meter shows emotional response
- Same data, different framing
- Reveal: "These are identical statistics!"
Technical Requirements:
- Dual presentation layouts
- Smooth transitions between frames
- Icon animations (arrows, emoticons)
- Color psychology (green=good, red=bad)
- State management for toggle
- Preference visualization
