SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

aped-brainstorm helps you turn a fuzzy idea into a structured set of options by running a guided, coaching-style divergence-to-convergence session so you can identify the best “survivors” to move forward.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Divergent ideation with hard quotas: Generates 50+ ideas (targeting 100) without premature evaluation, one element at a time with pauses for your reaction.
  • Frame-first setup: Locks topic, lens, and constraints up front, then only diverges after confirming the frame.
  • Technique-driven facilitation: Uses a technique library (e.g., SCAMPER, Reverse Engineering, What-If scenarios) with structured step-by-step prompting.
  • Convergence with grounding: Clusters and ranks ideas, then grounds top recommendations with assumptions, failure modes, disqualifiers, and evidence basis.

Quick Start

Run aped-brainstorm and tell it what you want to brainstorm about in one sentence.

Frequently Asked Questions about aped-brainstorm

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I brainstorm product ideas and narrow them down to the best concepts?▼

Structured brainstorming facilitates divergent ideation to generate 50+ creative ideas, then converges them into 5–10 grounded survivor concepts by clustering and ranking ideas against your constraints.

What is the best way to facilitate a structured ideation session before writing a PRD?▼

A structured ideation session uses technique-driven facilitation, applying methods like SCAMPER and What-If scenarios to explore concepts, ensuring you lock the topic and constraints before generating options for your PRD.

How do I generate a large volume of creative ideas without premature evaluation?▼

Divergent ideation enforces hard quotas to generate 50+ ideas targeting 100, coaching one element at a time with pauses for your reaction, which prevents premature evaluation and maximizes creative output.

How do I cluster and ground brainstormed ideas to find the strongest survivors?▼

Convergence with grounding clusters and ranks ideas, then grounds top recommendations with assumptions, failure modes, disqualifiers, and evidence basis to identify the strongest survivors for downstream work.

Can I use this brainstorming workflow for UX and technical directions?▼

Yes, creative facilitation applies to ideation and concept exploration for product, UX, business, or technical directions, helping you map options before proceeding to downstream architecture work.

What are the limitations of using a coaching-style divergence-to-convergence session?▼

The process requires frame confirmation before diverging and enforces one-element-at-a-time coaching with HALT/react loops, meaning it demands active user participation and cannot run autonomously to completion.
