  • Session persistence for multi-session brainstorming and shared logs
  • Provocative prompts and deep-dives into techniques to broaden thinking and explore options
  • Human-in-the-loop governance for selecting and prioritizing ideas
  • Use Case: when a user needs to brainstorm options for a product feature, the skill helps surface ideas from the user's own notes and expand them
