bmad-brainstorming

Invoke the skill by asking to brainstorm a topic. The facilitator gathers your session goals, lets you pick a technique selection approach, then coaches you through interactive ideation before organizing results into themes and action plans.

It loads techniques on demand from a brain-methods CSV library spanning categories like structured thinking, creative innovation, collaborative methods, deep analysis, theatrical exploration, wild thinking, and introspective approaches, including methods like SCAMPER and Six Thinking Hats.

Yes. The setup step lists existing session files in the output folder without reading their contents, then asks whether to continue the most recent session, pick another, or start fresh. Continuation resumes from the recorded workflow state.

It enforces an anti-bias protocol that pivots to an orthogonal creative domain every 10 ideas, targets 100+ ideas before organizing, and uses thought-before-ink reasoning to push past obvious solutions into novel territory.

The session produces a Markdown document initialized from a template, containing the session overview, selected techniques, all generated ideas organized by theme, prioritization results, and concrete action plans with next steps and success metrics.

Avoid it for quick single-answer questions or tasks needing immediate execution, since the workflow is designed for extended generative exploration of 30-45 minutes or more and deliberately delays organization until ideation is exhausted.
