think-brainstorm
Good-faith divergent brainstorming for achieving a goal. Validates assumptions, then spawns brainstormers running different techniques (first-principles, working-backwards, lateral, analogical, constraints-shift, etc.) in isolation, and synthesizes the pool into a report of standouts, reasonable ideas, and hybrid combinations. Produces feedback only — no code, no tickets, no artifacts.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Think-Brainstorm - Divergent Idea Generation Generates candidate approaches for achieving a goal. Uses parallel brainstormers each applying a different technique in isolation (to avoid anchoring), then synthesizes the pool into a catalog of ideas. The skill is purely *generative* — evaluation, choice, and critique belong to `/think-deliberate` and `/think-scrutinize`. **This skill produces no tangible artifacts.** It is a consultant, not an implementer. No code, no tickets, no commits. The output is a structured catalog of ideas the user can pick from. ## Roles **Judge (you, running this skill):** - Capture the goal in a written brief - Validate the assumptions embedded in the goal - Choose appropriate brainstorming techniques - Spawn brainstormers and synthesize the exchange into a report **Brainstormers:** Each receives a specific technique (first-principles, working-backwards, lateral, analogical, constraints-shift, worst-possible-idea, six-hats-green, SCAMPER) and generates ideas within that mode, in isolation from other brainstormers. ## Workflow ### 1. Receive the Goal The goal may arrive as: - **Conversation context** — summarize it back, confirm - **A document** — read th

What does the think-brainstorm skill do?
Good-faith divergent brainstorming for achieving a goal. Validates assumptions, then spawns brainstormers running different techniques (first-principles, working-backwards, lateral, analogical, constraints-shift, etc.) in isolation, and synthesizes the pool into a report of standouts, reasonable ideas, and hybrid combinations. Produces feedback only — no code, no tickets, no artifacts.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill think-brainstorm --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
