SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you generate and refine product or feature ideas when the goal is vague, so you can map the solution space before deciding what to build.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured ideation flow: Uses a guided process that first expands possibilities (diverge) and then narrows choices (converge), reducing aimless brainstorming.
  • Idea refinement without implementation: Produces a prioritized set of concepts and fleshes out the top candidates into actionable detail for the next step, while explicitly avoiding building or writing code.
  • Decision-ready outputs: Ends with a clear summary of the best idea(s) plus recommended handoff to planning or task breakdown skills.

Quick Start

Tell the assistant what you want to accomplish, who it is for, and any constraints you already know, then ask it to run a divergence-to-convergence brainstorm.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn vague product ideas into clear next steps?

To turn vague product ideas into clear next steps, use a structured brainstorming process that expands possible solutions and then converges on prioritized concepts for handoff. This maps the solution space before deciding what to build.

What is a diverge-then-converge brainstorming workflow?

A diverge-then-converge workflow is a structured ideation process that first expands possibilities to reduce aimless brainstorming, then narrows choices to produce decision-ready outputs. It guides requirement exploration and risk trade-off evaluation.

How do I prioritize feature ideas during early product discovery?

Prioritize feature ideas during early product discovery by applying evaluation lenses to multiple candidate approaches. This structured convergence process refines top candidates into actionable detail without writing implementation code.

Can I use this for requirement exploration without generating code?

Yes, you can use this for requirement exploration without generating code. It explicitly avoids building or writing code, focusing instead on producing a prioritized set of concepts and detailed handoffs for planning or task breakdown skills.

What is the best way to facilitate structured ideation for feature prioritization?

The best way to facilitate structured ideation for feature prioritization is running a guided divergence-to-convergence brainstorm. This maps the solution space, evaluates risk trade-offs across candidate approaches, and outputs a decision-ready summary.

When should I not use an ideation Skill for product discovery?

You should not use an ideation Skill when you need implementation or code generation rather than concept refinement. It is designed strictly for early ideation and requirement exploration, ending with a handoff-oriented exit instead of building.
