What problem does it solve? Open-ended creative requests often produce generic, interchangeable ideas. This Skill replaces default brainstorming with a routing procedure that matches the user's situation to one of 22 named ideation methods, producing specific, non-obvious output. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Signal-based routing: Extracts phase, domain, and specificity from the prompt, then routes to the matching method (OuLiPo, TRIZ, Oblique Strategies, SCAMPER, Jobs-to-be-Done, and more). - Anti-slop discipline: Refuses the first three ideas, forces concrete mechanisms and proper nouns, and requires an honest failure mode per idea. - Time-boxed exercises: Provides 5-minute to multi-week exercises drawn from Tharp, Cameron, Cleese, and LeWitt for sustained creative practice. - Use Case: A user says "I'm stuck on my novel's second act." The Skill detects UNBLOCKING phase and TEXT domain, applies Oblique Strategies, and returns one concrete next move rather than a list of generic plot tips. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to help you generate ideas for a project, get unstuck, or make an existing idea weirder, and it will route your request to the right creative method.
