You MUST use this before any creative work - creating features, building components, adding functionality, or modifying behavior.
Separate raw idea-generation from judgment so creativity isn't strangled by your inner critic — diverge with zero evaluation, then switch to hard critique.

What it does
Generate Then Execute is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Separate raw idea-generation from judgment so creativity isn't strangled by your inner critic — diverge with zero evaluation, then switch to hard critique. Use when asked to brainstorm properly, help me come up with ideas without shutting them down, I keep censoring my own ideas, or separate creating from editing.

Its SKILL.md is about 940 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: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Asked to brainstorm properly
- Help me come up with ideas without shutting them down
- I keep censoring my own ideas
- Separate creating from editing
Example prompts
- “/generate-then-execute”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Generate with zero judgment. In this pass, evaluation, sorting, and hedging are forbidden. Chase quantity and range; let bad and weird…
- Go past the comfortable stopping point. The first ideas are obvious; keep generating well past where it feels done.
- Make a clean break. Explicitly end generation before any judging — mixing them is the whole problem.
- Switch to ruthless critic. Now evaluate hard: score against the real criteria, find the failure modes, and cut without sentiment.
- Keep only the strong. Surface the survivors and why — and note if a "bad" generated idea sparked a good one.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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
Generate Then Execute loads about 938 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 136 tokens; SKILL.md has 475 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.

- Separate raw idea-generation from judgment so creativity isn't strangled by your inner critic — diverge with zero evaluation, then switch to hard critique. Use when asked to brainstorm properly, help me come up with ideas without shutting them down, I keep censoring my own ideas, or separate creating from editing. Produces a pure generation pass (quantity, no judging, no hedging, wild allowed), a clean break, then a separate ruthless critique pass that scores and prunes — because doing both at once produces neither.
Generate, Then Execute
Trying to create and judge at the same time is why people stare at blank pages — every idea gets killed before it's finished. This enforces the split the best thinkers use: first a pure divergent pass where evaluation is banned and volume/weirdness is the goal, then a clean switch to a ruthless critic that scores, prunes, and keeps only what's strong. Two modes, never mixed.
What This Skill Produces
- A generation pass — many ideas, fast, with no evaluation, ranking, or "but that won't work" allowed; wild and half-formed ideas welcome
- A hard break — an explicit switch of mode, so judgment doesn't leak backward into generation
- A critique pass — a separate, adversarial read that scores each idea, finds the traps, and prunes hard
- The survivors — the few ideas that made it through both, with why they held
Required Inputs
Ask for these if not provided:
- The prompt — what you're generating ideas for
- Roughly how many — a target volume for the generation pass (more than feels comfortable)
- The judging criteria — what "good" means, applied only in the critique pass
- Constraints — real ones (for the critic), not imagined ones (which the generator ignores)
Framework: Two Modes, Never At Once
- Generate with zero judgment. In this pass, evaluation, sorting, and hedging are forbidden. Chase quantity and range; let bad and weird ideas exist — they seed good ones.
- Go past the comfortable stopping point. The first ideas are obvious; keep generating well past where it feels done.
- Make a clean break. Explicitly end generation before any judging — mixing them is the whole problem.
- Switch to ruthless critic. Now evaluate hard: score against the real criteria, find the failure modes, and cut without sentiment.
- Keep only the strong. Surface the survivors and why — and note if a "bad" generated idea sparked a good one.

Output Format
Prompt: [what we're ideating on]
⚡ Generation (no judging) [Many ideas, listed fast — wild ones included, none evaluated.]
— switching modes —
🔪 Critique (ruthless)
| Idea | Score | The trap / why it fails or holds |
|---|
Survivors: [the few worth pursuing + why].
Quality Checks
- The generation pass contains NO evaluation or hedging
- Volume/range is high; it pushes past the obvious ideas
- There's a clean, explicit break between the two modes
- The critique pass is genuinely hard, not gentle
- Survivors are justified against the real criteria
Anti-Patterns
- Judging while generating — "here's an idea, though it probably won't work."
- Too few ideas in the generation pass.
- A soft critique that keeps everything.
- Letting real constraints shut down the generation pass (save them for the critic).
Example Trigger Phrases
- "Help me brainstorm without shutting my own ideas down."
- "I keep editing while I create and get nothing done — separate the two."
- "Do a proper divergent brainstorm, then tear it apart."
- "Generate a ton of options for this, then judge them."
- "Give me quantity first, quality second."
