pm-method
Run a real brainstorm — divergent generation without judgment, then convergent selection with explicit criteria — instead of listing ten obvious ideas and calling it creativity. Use when asked to brainstorm, generate ideas or options, explore a solution space, or name something. Produces a genuinely wide option set (including the weird tail), then a shortlist selected against named criteria with the rejects preserved.
What to give it
▸The problem or prompt — , and what an idea must accomplish to count
▸Constraints that are real — (budget/tech/brand) vs assumed — challenge one assumed constraint deliberately
▸What's been tried or rejected already — avoids retreading; also reveals the requester's hidden criteria
✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓≥20 ideas spanning ≥5 distinct strategies — not variants of two ideas
✓The weird tail exists (ideas that risk sounding silly)
✓Zero evaluative language in the divergent set
✓Criteria were stated before scoring, and trace to the requester's situation
✓Rejects preserved with revival conditions
⚠️ What it refuses to do
Do not judge while generating — one "(unrealistic)" mid-list collapses the whole divergent phase
Do not produce ten polished-obvious ideas and stop — that's a search result, not a brainstorm
Do not let the criteria appear after the list has been read — that's rationalising a favourite
Do not delete the rejects — the ledger is half the artifact
Do not ship the shortlist without the wildcard — a fully-safe shortlist means the exercise removed everything it was for
