| description | AI DevKit · Use when the user asks to brainstorm, ideate, generate ideas, expand options, challenge ideas, pressure-test ideas, compare concepts, narrow choices, name something, plan content angles, explore strategy, evaluate product ideas, technical approaches, experiments, or decisions. |
Brainstorm
Run a compact diverge-to-converge loop.
Workflow
- Frame: restate the goal, constraints, audience, success criteria, and assumptions.
- Diverge: generate distinct options across practical, high-leverage, and unusual angles.
- Challenge: identify weak assumptions, obvious failure modes, tradeoffs, and ideas to reject.
- Compare: group related ideas and evaluate only on relevant criteria such as impact, effort, risk, novelty, confidence, or time-to-test.
- Converge: recommend the strongest 3 options with brief rationale and a concrete next step, experiment, outline, or decision checkpoint.
Formats
Use Quick by default. Use Deep only for ambiguous or high-stakes decisions. Ask at most one clarifying question only if missing context would materially change the brainstorm; otherwise state assumptions and proceed.
- Quick: clusters, challenges, 3 picks.
- Deep: assumptions, clusters, evaluation table, recommendation.
- Naming: tone groups, fit, ambiguity, pronunciation.
- Technical: approaches, tradeoffs, risks, validation.
- Content: angles, hooks, audiences, outlines.
Avoid filler, near-duplicates, generic best practices, and premature recommendations. If asked for more ideas, explore a new axis before listing variants.
