name	brainstorm
description	Guided game concept ideation — generates ideas for gameplay mechanics, systems, or features using structured creative techniques.

When this skill is invoked:

1. Clarify scope: What are we brainstorming? (mechanic, system, feature, full concept)

2. Gather context: Read relevant knowledge-base docs and existing design docs.

3. Generate ideas using structured techniques:

   • Verb-first: Define core player verbs, then build mechanics around them
   • Mashup: Combine unexpected genres/mechanics for novelty
   • MDA analysis: Map Mechanics → Dynamics → Aesthetics for each idea
   • Reference games: What similar games do well, what they miss

4. For each idea, evaluate:

   • Feasibility with our Unity 6 + MCP tool stack
   • ScriptableObject data model potential
   • Performance implications
   • Prototype complexity

5. Output 3-5 concepts with:

   • Core loop description
   • Key mechanics list
   • Technical feasibility (using our MCP tools)
   • Recommended next step (prototype, design doc, or kill)
