SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Generating ideas alone often stalls at the obvious; this Skill runs a guided brainstorming session that pushes past first answers using proven creative techniques, persistent session logging, and resumable state. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Three facilitation stances: run as a Facilitator (never supplies ideas), a Creative Partner (riffs alongside you), or Ideate for me (fully autonomous idea generation). - 108-technique catalog across 13 categories: browse techniques via an offline HTML selector page or pick in chat, with support for random draws, invented techniques, and custom technique overlays. - Persistent memlog and resume: every idea, decision, and direction is logged atomically to disk, so sessions survive interruption and can be resumed or converged into decisions later. - Use Case: Ask to brainstorm names for a new product feature; the session opens a technique-selection page, runs 3-4 methods like SCAMPER and Reverse Brainstorming, logs every idea, and ends with a synthesized artifact. ## Quick Start Help me brainstorm ideas for a new mobile app feature using a mix of creative techniques.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a guided brainstorming session with an AI assistant?

Start by stating your topic and goal, then choose a facilitation stance: Facilitator, Creative Partner, or Ideate for me. The session runs 3-4 creative techniques from a catalog of 108 methods, logging every idea to a memlog file you can resume later.

What brainstorming techniques are available in the catalog?

The catalog ships 108 techniques across 13 categories, including SCAMPER, Six Thinking Hats, First Principles, Reverse Brainstorming, Five Whys, and Mind Mapping. You can also add custom techniques through a TOML configuration overlay without editing the shipped CSV.

Can I resume an interrupted brainstorming session?

Yes. Every session writes an atomic memlog file to disk recording ideas, decisions, and direction in time order. On activation, the skill scans for incomplete sessions and offers to resume them from the logged state.

How do I choose which brainstorming techniques to use?

Open the generated brain-selector HTML page in a browser to compose a session visually, then paste the copied prompt back into chat. Alternatively, pick techniques in chat, request random draws, or let the facilitator choose methods that fit your goal.

Can teams customize the brainstorming workflow and technique library?

Yes. Team and personal TOML override files can add activation steps, persistent facts, favorite techniques, and entirely new technique categories. Overrides merge with the shipped defaults, so custom methods appear in every selection flow.
