SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Teams and individuals often get stuck generating diverse ideas or struggle to objectively select the best option among many. This Skill provides structured divergent and convergent thinking frameworks to produce creative solutions and rank them systematically. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Divergent Ideation: Applies SCAMPER, How Might We (HMW), and Crazy 8s techniques to maximize the quantity and variety of ideas. - Convergent Selection: Scores ideas with the ICE framework (Impact, Confidence, Ease) and Dot Voting to identify the top three candidates. - Structured Output: Produces a formatted report listing generated ideas, top-scored selections with pros and risks, and a final recommendation. - Use Case: When planning a new product feature, use this Skill to generate a dozen approaches via SCAMPER, then rank them with ICE scoring to decide which one to prototype first. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to brainstorm solutions for your problem, for example: brainstorm ways to reduce user churn for my mobile app.

FAQPage Schema
How do I brainstorm ideas with an AI assistant?▼

Describe your problem or goal and ask the agent to brainstorm solutions. The Skill applies divergent techniques like SCAMPER and Crazy 8s to generate varied ideas, then converges with ICE scoring to recommend the best options.

What is the SCAMPER technique for idea generation?▼

SCAMPER is a divergent thinking method using seven prompts: Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to other uses, Eliminate, and Reverse. Each prompt reframes the problem to surface ideas that direct questioning might miss.

How does ICE scoring prioritize ideas?▼

ICE scoring rates each idea on Impact, Confidence, and Ease from 1 to 10, then computes (Impact x Confidence x Ease) / 100. Higher scores indicate ideas with strong expected value and low execution friction.

When should I use brainstorming instead of direct planning?▼

Use brainstorming when the solution space is unclear or you need multiple candidate approaches before committing. If requirements are already well-defined, move directly to planning and specification instead of ideation.

What output does a brainstorming session produce?▼

The session produces a markdown report listing all generated ideas, the top selections with ICE scores including pros and risks, and a final recommended direction with supporting rationale.
