Brainstorming
obra/superpowers
Makes the agent clarify intent and agree on a design with you before writing any code, scaling the process from a quick spike to a written spec.
Generate a big, wide spread of ideas for anything by running the prompt through many different lenses at once, then clustering and picking.

What it does
Idea Storm is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. 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.
Its SKILL.md is about 900 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 ideas for
- Give me lots of options
- Help me come up with
- I need ideas for
Example prompts
- “/idea-storm”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Generate across lenses, not one. Run the prompt through varied angles — safe, wild, cheap, ambitious, weird, opposite, from-another-field…
- Chase volume, defer judgment. Aim high and don't evaluate mid-generation; quantity and range are the job here.
- Include the wildcards. Deliberately produce a few genuinely strange ideas — they're often where the good ones hide or get sparked.
- Cluster into themes. Group the flood into a few themes so it's usable, not overwhelming.
- Shortlist the promising. Pick the handful worth pursuing and flag one wildcard to keep — the narrowing comes after the widening.
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
Idea Storm loads about 896 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 131 tokens; SKILL.md has 429 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.

- 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.
Idea Storm
A short brainstorm gives you the three obvious ideas everyone gets. This maximizes range instead: it runs your prompt through many different generative lenses — the safe idea, the wild idea, the cheapest idea, the most ambitious, the weirdest, the opposite — to produce a genuinely wide spread, then clusters and shortlists so the volume is usable. Wide first, then narrow.
What This Skill Produces
- A high-volume idea list — many ideas, deliberately varied, generated without early judgment
- Multiple lenses applied — safe / wild / cheap / ambitious / weird / opposite / adjacent-industry angles, so the range is real
- Theme clusters — the ideas grouped so the volume is navigable
- A shortlist — the most promising handful, flagged for a next step
- A wildcard — at least one genuinely out-there option worth a second look
Required Inputs
Ask for these if not provided:
- 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)
Framework: Many Lenses, Then Cluster
- Generate across lenses, not one. Run the prompt through varied angles — safe, wild, cheap, ambitious, weird, opposite, from-another-field — so ideas differ in kind, not just wording.
- Chase volume, defer judgment. Aim high and don't evaluate mid-generation; quantity and range are the job here.
- Include the wildcards. Deliberately produce a few genuinely strange ideas — they're often where the good ones hide or get sparked.
- Cluster into themes. Group the flood into a few themes so it's usable, not overwhelming.
- Shortlist the promising. Pick the handful worth pursuing and flag one wildcard to keep — the narrowing comes after the widening.

Output Format

The storm (by lens)
- Safe: […] · Wild: […] · Cheap: […] · Ambitious: […] · Weird: […] · Opposite: […] · From another field: […]
Clustered
- [Theme]: [ideas]. [Theme]: [ideas].
Shortlist: [the most promising few]. Wildcard to keep: [one out-there option].
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
- A shortlist plus a wildcard is provided
Anti-Patterns
- 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.
Example Trigger Phrases
- "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."
