This Skill helps teams or individuals surface multiple viable approaches to a task, clarifying constraints and guiding toward a concrete plan.
What constraints or must-haves should I respect? Diverge with 5–10 options, then converge to 1–3 candidates with rationale; expand into a 3–6 step plan if selected.

Generate diverse options by diverging into 5–10 one-line candidates, then cluster and trim to 1–3 strongest contenders with clear rationale. Expand your chosen option into a concrete 3–6 step plan with timeboxed steps to move forward.
Use brainstorming when facing ambiguous requests lacking constraints, seeking ideas or options, or navigating early planning stages across builds, fixes, code reviews, and architecture. It clarifies constraints and surfaces viable approaches before committing to one path.
Diverge to 5–10 options, then converge by evaluating 1–3 candidates against time, complexity, and risk trade-offs. Prompt for a decision point: either pick one or expand the selected candidate into a detailed next-step plan.
Yes. Brainstorming surfaces constraints and must-haves by generating multiple viable approaches, then pruning to top candidates. This process forces explicit constraint identification and reduces false starts.
Brainstorming diverges into multiple options and converges on 1–3 candidates with rationale before committing to steps. Implementation skips option generation and moves directly to execution, risking missed alternatives and hidden constraints.
Once you select a candidate from your 1–3 finalists, expand it into a concrete 3–6 step next plan with timeboxed steps, making the approach immediately actionable for your team or development workflow.
