What problem does it solve? Research projects often stall when teams run out of fresh analytical directions or overlook angles outside their own expertise. This Skill structures open-ended ideation by simulating multiple expert personas that critique a project from different disciplinary viewpoints, producing concrete, documented idea lists instead of unstructured brainstorming. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Persona-driven brainstorming: Routes ideation through an installed idea-generator convention pack containing a persona catalog, execution protocol, and idea templates. - Parallel subagent generation: Launches batches of subagents, each writing persona-specific idea files into a date-stamped session directory under analysis/ideas/. - Compiled idea index: Builds a 00_index.md table grouping all ideas by feasibility, and registers the session in ANALYSIS_MANIFEST.md. - Use Case: A bioinformatics lab that has finished its planned analyses asks "what are we missing?" — the Skill gathers project context from manifests, runs personas like a statistical physicist and a domain skeptic, and returns a ranked index of new analysis directions that can be promoted to todo items. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to brainstorm new research directions for this project using expert personas and compile the results into an idea index.
