SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve? It turns open-ended ideation requests into structured brainstorming sessions that push past obvious ideas, using proven creative techniques instead of unstructured free association. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Three facilitation stances: Run as a pure Facilitator, a Creative Partner trading ideas, or fully autonomous Ideate-for-me mode. - 108-technique catalog: A CSV library of creative methods across 13 categories (SCAMPER, Six Thinking Hats, First Principles, and more), browsable via a generated HTML selector page. - Persistent session memory: A memlog file records every idea, decision, and direction so sessions survive interruption and can be resumed later. - Use Case: Ask to brainstorm names for a new product feature; the skill opens a technique selector, runs 3-4 methods in sequence, logs every idea, and produces a synthesized wrap-up document. ## Quick Start Say "help me brainstorm ideas for my new mobile app onboarding flow" to start a facilitated session.
