Idea Storm

Q: How do I know the Idea Storm output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: High volume with genuine variety (ideas differ in kind); Multiple distinct lenses were applied; Judgment was deferred during generation; Ideas are clustered into usable themes.

🔵 Stable🕐 updated 2026-08-06 🔷 SkillSpec L3 pm-thinking

Generate a big, wide spread of ideas for anything by running the prompt through many different lenses at once, then clustering and picking. Use when asked to brainstorm ideas for, give me lots of options, help me come up with, or I need ideas for. Produces a high-volume, deliberately varied idea list generated across multiple angles (safe, wild, cheap, ambitious, weird, opposite), grouped into themes, and a shortlist of the most promising — maximizing range so you're not choosing from three obvious options.

🗣 Say this to your agent

“Brainstorm ideas for my startup's name.”“Give me lots of options for a 40th birthday gift.”“I need ideas for content to post this month.”“Help me come up with ways to use this spare room.”“Idea-storm solutions to my team's meeting overload.”

What to give it

▸The prompt — what you need ideas for (a name, a gift, a solution, a plan, a project)

▸Any constraints — budget, time, must-haves (applied lightly — this is generation)

▸The vibe — practical, creative, or anything-goes

▸How many — a rough target (more than you think)

✅ 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.

✓High volume with genuine variety (ideas differ in kind)

✓Multiple distinct lenses were applied

✓Judgment was deferred during generation

✓Ideas are clustered into usable themes

✓A shortlist plus a wildcard is provided

⚠️ What it refuses to do

**Three obvious ideas** and stopping.

**Ideas that are all variations** of one concept.

**Judging mid-generation** and narrowing too early.

**A flat wall of ideas** with no clustering or shortlist.
