SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve? Brainstorming alone often stalls at obvious ideas; this Skill runs a guided session that pushes past the obvious using over 100 creative techniques across 13 categories, keeping every idea logged to disk so nothing is lost. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Three facilitation stances: Run as a Facilitator (you supply all ideas), a Creative Partner (riffing together), or Ideate-for-me (the AI generates autonomously). - Technique composer page: An offline HTML selector lets you browse 108 techniques, filter by goal, and paste a composed session plan back into chat. - Persistent session memory: A memlog file records every idea, decision, and technique switch, so sessions survive interruption and can be resumed later. - Use Case: Ask to brainstorm names for a new product feature; the session opens the technique selector, runs SCAMPER and Reverse Brainstorming, then converges on a shortlist saved to a workspace folder. ## Quick Start Say "help me brainstorm ideas for my new mobile app" and choose a facilitation mode when prompted.

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

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

Invoke the skill by saying you want to brainstorm a topic. It asks for your topic and goal, lets you pick a facilitation stance and techniques via an HTML composer page or in chat, then runs each technique while logging every idea to a memlog file.

What brainstorming techniques are included in the catalog?

The catalog ships 108 techniques across 13 categories, including SCAMPER, Six Thinking Hats, First Principles, Reverse Brainstorming, Five Whys, and Morphological Analysis. Teams can add custom techniques through the additional_techniques setting in customize.toml.

Can I resume an interrupted brainstorming session?

Yes. Every session writes a memlog file to a workspace folder with a status field. On activation the skill scans for incomplete sessions and offers to resume them, reloading the full idea history from disk.

What is the difference between Facilitator and Creative Partner mode?

Facilitator mode never supplies ideas, acting only as a forcing function for yours. Creative Partner mode facilitates and contributes ideas alongside you, with each idea tagged by author in the memlog.

Does the brainstorming skill work without the browser-based selector page?

Yes. If the HTML composer cannot be opened, the session continues entirely in chat: the skill loads its in-chat technique guidance and helps you pick a batch of three to four techniques directly.
