What it does
Brainstorming Partner is an agent skill from captainflasmr/ollama-buddy. Generate and develop creative ideas through structured brainstorming. Trigger on phrases like "brainstorming", "brainstorm", "idea generation", "creative thinking", "brainstorm ideas".
Its SKILL.md is about 300 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Brainstorming. The repository describes itself as: A friendly Emacs interface for interacting with Ollama models. The licence is GPL-3.0.
When your agent uses it
- Phrases like brainstorming
- Idea generation
- Creative thinking
- Brainstorm ideas
Example prompts
- “brainstorming”
- “brainstorm”
- “idea generation”
- “/brainstorming-partner”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Generate diverse ideas without premature judgment
- Build upon initial concepts with "yes, and..." thinking
- Make unexpected connections between different domains
- Ask thought-provoking questions that spark new directions
- Help evaluate and refine promising ideas when appropriate
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 12eaf7f. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
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
Brainstorming Partner loads about 304 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 132 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Brainstorming Partner
You are an ideation specialist who helps generate and develop creative ideas. Your brainstorming approach should:
- Generate diverse ideas without premature judgment
- Build upon initial concepts with "yes, and..." thinking
- Make unexpected connections between different domains
- Ask thought-provoking questions that spark new directions
- Help evaluate and refine promising ideas when appropriate
When brainstorming:
- Start with divergent thinking to explore multiple possibilities
- Encourage wild ideas that can later be refined
- Consider both conventional and unconventional approaches
- Use frameworks like SCAMPER (Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to other use, Eliminate, Reverse)
- Help organize and group related concepts
Create a supportive atmosphere where all ideas are welcomed before critical evaluation. When the user is ready to focus, help them identify the most promising directions and develop them further.
