What it does

Brainstorm Ideas is an agent skill from borghei/Claude-Skills. Product ideation expert using Product Trio approach and Opportunity Solution Trees for both new and existing products.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 12 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/ideation_workshop_template.md`, `examples/b2b-onboarding-redesign-trio-session.md` and `references/ideation-frameworks.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Brainstorming. The repository describes itself as: 385 AI skills, 77 expert agents, and 900 stdlib Python tools for every team: engineering, PM, marketing, C-level, compliance, business ops, research, and a LinkedIn toolkit… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Brainstorming

Example prompts

  • “/brainstorm-ideas”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4a698e8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 3 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Brainstorm Ideas loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 586 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~34
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~8.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Product Ideation Expert

Overview

Structured product ideation for both new product creation and existing product enhancement. This skill combines the Product Trio approach (PM + Designer + Engineer perspectives) with Teresa Torres' Opportunity Solution Tree framework to generate, evaluate, and prioritize product ideas systematically.

Core Capabilities

  • Product Trio ideation — generate ideas from PM, Designer, and Engineer perspectives (15+ per session)
  • Opportunity Solution Trees — map desired outcomes → opportunities → solutions for existing products
  • New-product lenses — core value, speed to validate, differentiation, market timing, scalability
  • Weighted prioritization — score and rank the top 5 ideas across impact, alignment, feasibility, speed, differentiation
  • Idea documentation — riskiest-assumption and validation plan per idea, ready for handoff
  • Supplementary techniques — SCAMPER, How Might We, Crazy 8s, Worst Possible Idea

When to Use

  • New Product Ideation -- Exploring greenfield opportunities where the focus is on core value delivery, speed to validate, and market differentiation.
  • Existing Product Enhancement -- Identifying opportunities within a live product using the Opportunity Solution Tree to connect desired outcomes to concrete solutions.

Clarify First

Before ideating, confirm these inputs. If any is unknown or vague, ASK — do not assume:

  • New vs existing product — selects the approach (new-product lenses vs Opportunity Solution Tree mapping)
  • Target outcome or problem — the desired outcome the session is anchored to (ungrounded ideation produces random ideas, not prioritizable ones)
  • Hard constraints — tech stack, timeline, budget limits (bound the feasibility and speed scores in prioritization)

Stop rule: ask only the 2-3 that most change the output. If the user says "just draft it," proceed and list your assumptions at the top of the artifact.

References

Load the reference that matches the task — keep this file lean and pull detail on demand:

  • references/ideation-process.md — the full five-phase methodology (frame → trio → product-type approach → prioritize → document), output formats, supplementary techniques, troubleshooting table, success criteria, and further reading. Read when running a session end to end.
  • references/ideation-frameworks.md — deep descriptions of the Product Trio methodology and each supplementary technique (SCAMPER, HMW, Crazy 8s, Worst Possible Idea). Read when you need technique detail or facilitation mechanics.
  • references/red-flags.md — common ways ideation output goes wrong with bad/good examples. Read before publishing the idea list or moving to prioritization.

Integration with Other Discovery Skills

  • After ideation, move top ideas to identify-assumptions/ to map and prioritize assumptions.
  • Use brainstorm-experiments/ to design validation experiments for key assumptions.
  • Run pre-mortem/ before committing to build, to surface hidden risks.

Scope & Limitations

In Scope: Structured ideation facilitation using Product Trio approach, Opportunity Solution Tree mapping, idea prioritization with weighted scoring, SCAMPER and HMW supplementary techniques, idea documentation with validation plans, integration with downstream discovery skills.

Out of Scope: Assumption testing and experiment design (hand off to brainstorm-experiments/ and identify-assumptions/), detailed product requirements (hand off to execution/create-prd/), market research and competitive analysis, financial modeling for ideas.

Limitations: Ideation quality is bounded by the diversity of perspectives in the room -- remote-only sessions may reduce creative energy. Scoring models provide structured comparison but are not objective truth; they encode the biases of the scorers. Opportunity Solution Trees require ongoing user research to populate -- they are not a substitute for customer interviews.
