What problem does it solve? Product design often converges on the same category conventions, making it hard to produce genuinely differentiated interfaces. This Skill breaks that pattern by deliberately sourcing interaction and visual patterns from outside your product's industry. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Cross-Industry Analogy Generation: Selects at least three functionally similar but industry-different domains (e.g., finance learning from game feedback, productivity learning from fitness habits) and extracts transferable mechanisms. - Structured Direction Output: Produces 3-5 design directions, each with source domain, application method, a structural sketch or state flow, plus value, risk, and validation approach. - Decision Gate Integration: Escalates to a read-only design decision council for a second opinion when recommendations involve major product direction, high cost, or hard-to-reverse brand choices. - Use Case: When asked to design a fintech onboarding flow that "doesn't look like every competitor", the Skill baselines category conventions, then generates directions borrowed from gaming, aviation, or fitness domains, and saves a dated report to .monkren/brainstorm/. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to brainstorm differentiated design directions for your target screen or flow, specifying the product, user goal, and the standard category answers you want to avoid.
