What it does

Pm Brainstorm is an agent skill from serejaris/personal-corp-os. Проводит структурированный сеанс дивергенции вокруг конкретной продуктовой проблемы или возможности. Встроены SCAMPER (7 ракурсов), 5 Whys для поиска корневой причины, кросс-доменное вдохновение, ограничивающие инновации, обратный брейншторм и матрица Impact/Effort для отбора. На выходе — ≥10 идей с детально проработанным Top-3. User-invoked only — do NOT auto-trigger. Triggers on /pm-brainstorm, "идеи для продукта", "продуктовый брейншторм", "дивергенция идей", "How Might We", "SCAMPER", "product brainstorm"…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including assets (for example `README.md` and `README.ru.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Brainstorming, Root cause analysis and Prioritization frameworks. The repository describes itself as: Personal Corp OS — управление личной компанией через AI-агентов: задачи вне головы, отделы вместо памяти, недельное ретро. Открытые скиллы для Claude Code и Codex. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Идеи для продукта
  • Продуктовый брейншторм
  • Дивергенция идей
  • Product brainstorm

Example prompts

  • “How Might We”
  • “SCAMPER”
  • “product brainstorm”
  • “/pm-brainstorm”

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Problem focus
  2. SCAMPER (7 lenses)
  3. 5-Whys root-cause divergence
  4. Cross-domain inspiration
  5. Constraint-innovation
  6. Reverse brainstorm
  7. Impact / Effort screening
  8. Output

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 95e36c3. 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 (its code samples are markdown).

    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

Pm Brainstorm loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 137 tokens; SKILL.md has 972 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~137
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k

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.

pm-brainstorm — Structured product brainstorm

Part of the Personal Corp framework — running a one-person business through AI agents. Run a structured creative-divergence session on a specific product problem or opportunity. Not just listing ideas — challenges assumptions, borrows across domains, helps reach options you wouldn't have otherwise. Output is a screened idea list ready for next-step action.

Inputs

FieldRequiredNotes
TopicyesProblem to solve or opportunity to explore — more specific = better
BackgroundnoPersona, current data, known constraints
ModenoFull divergence / single framework only; default full
ConstraintsnoTech, time, resource limits

Good topic: "How might we make new users feel value within the first 5 minutes of first use?" Bad topic: "How do we improve the product?" (too vague)

Step 1 — Problem focus

Before diverging, sharpen the problem.

Probing checklist:

  1. Who has this problem? Specific user types and scenarios
  2. How is it solved today? Current alternative or workaround
  3. Why does it matter? Consequence of inaction
  4. What does success look like? What does a good solution look like
  5. What constraints? Tech / time / resource bounds

Restate as a How Might We:

  • "How might we let {target user} more easily {achieve goal} in {scenario}?"

Step 2 — SCAMPER (7 lenses)

Run each lens once; aim for 1-2 ideas per lens.

LensCore questionDirection
S — SubstituteWhat component can be substituted?Different tech / interaction / entry point?
C — CombineCan we merge two features?Merge steps / contexts / bundle features
A — AdaptWhat from elsewhere can we borrow?Method from social apps? From productivity tools?
M — ModifyWhat if we 10×'d or 0.1×'d this?Minimal version? Maximal version?
P — Put to other useWhat other context could this serve?Other personas? Other scenarios?
E — EliminateWhat if we remove something?Cut steps / fields / signup / friction?
R — RearrangeWhat if we reorder?Try first / signup later? Reverse order?

Total: 7-14 initial ideas.

Step 3 — 5-Whys root-cause divergence

From a user pain, descend to the root, then ideate from each layer.

Example:

Pain: new users churn on day 2

  • Why 1: They didn't find what they wanted on day 1
    • Why 2: Feature entries are too deep
      • Why 3: Navigation is structured by product architecture, not user task
        • Why 4: No user-task analysis was done
          • Why 5 (root): Product design is detached from actual user scenarios
          • Idea: Run user-task analysis, restructure navigation by task
        • Idea: Add search / smart-recommendations entry point
      • Idea: Onboarding leads users directly to core feature
    • Idea: Ask intent at signup, personalize home

Rules:

  • Probe to at least Why 3
  • Each Why can fork (one symptom may have multiple causes)
  • Generate 1-2 solutions per Why layer

Step 4 — Cross-domain inspiration

Don't copy competitors — look at what they do, then think "what could we do that's different".

Cross-domain prompts:

  1. List 3-5 products that are not direct competitors but solve a similar user need
  2. Note what's notable about each
  3. Ask: if we transplanted this approach to our context, what would adapt? What would change?

Differentiation prompts:

  1. Everyone does X → what if we do Y instead?
  2. Competitor's X is criticized for Z → could we cut into the pain at Z?
  3. Need users discuss heavily on social media but no competitor has shipped → opportunity?

Step 5 — Constraint-innovation

Deliberately set constraints to spark creativity.

ConstraintSetupStimulus
Time"Only 1 week of dev time"Forces minimum viable approach
Tech"Use only existing stack"Reveals new uses of existing capabilities
Cost"Zero dev investment"Ops moves, config changes, copy tweaks
Extreme"Change one line of code"Find the highest-leverage single point
Inversion"Let users design it"Switch perspective

1-2 ideas per constraint. Tighter constraints often produce more elegant ideas.

Step 6 — Reverse brainstorm

First think "how could we make this worse", then invert each idea.

Steps:

  1. Restate as the inverse: "How might we make new users uninstall on day 1?"
  2. List everything that would worsen the problem (often easier than positive ideation)
  3. Invert each "make-worse" idea into an improvement

Example:

Make-worseInverted
Require 20 fields at signupPhone-only signup, progressive profile fill
Home is full of adsHome shows only goal-relevant content
Hide all help entriesSurface guidance proactively at confusion points

Reverse-brainstorm bypasses the "find the right answer" pressure — the divergence stage gets freer.

Step 7 — Impact / Effort screening

Drop all ideas into a 2×2:

QuadrantImpactEffortStrategyIdeas
Quick WinsHighLowValidate first{list}
Big BetsHighHighWorth investing, plan carefully{list}
Fill-insLowLowWhen idle{list}
Money PitsLowHighDrop{list}

Scoring:

  • Impact: size of pain solved × users affected
  • Effort: dev + design + integration test

Step 8 — Output

markdown
# Product Brainstorm

**Topic:** {problem}
**HMW:** How might we {restated as HMW}
**Date:** {today}
**Ideas generated:** {N} (kept after screening: {M})

## Idea List

| # | Idea | Pain solved | Source framework | Expected value | Effort | Quadrant | Validation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | {desc} | {pain} | SCAMPER-Eliminate | High/Med/Low | High/Med/Low | Quick Win | {validation} |

## Top 3 Recommendations

### Idea 1: {name}
- **Description:** {detail}
- **Pain solved:** {specific pain}
- **Expected impact:** {quantified, e.g. "+5-10% D1 retention"}
- **Implementation path:** {brief tech / design approach}
- **Validation:** {how to validate fast — A/B test, gradual rollout, etc.}
- **Risk:** {risks and mitigation}

### Idea 2: {name}
…

### Idea 3: {name}
…

## Dropped Ideas (archived)
- {idea X}: dropped because — {reason}
- {idea Y}: dropped because — {reason}

## Next Actions
- [ ] {action 1}
- [ ] {action 2}

Brainstorm principles

  1. Diverge before converge — no judgment during divergence; screen during convergence
  2. Quantity drives quality — first hit 15+ ideas, then screen
  3. Concrete beats abstract — "add a progress bar at signup step 3" beats "improve signup UX"
  4. Allow extremes — extreme ideas, refined, often become great
  5. Challenge assumptions — push back on "impossible" / "we've always done it this way"

Quality bar

  1. ≥ 10 ideas generated (sufficient divergence)
  2. Each idea has a concrete description (not vague "optimize X")
  3. Ideas come from ≥ 3 different frameworks
  4. Top 3 have explicit validation methods
  5. Output is decision-ready as input to the next step

Red lines

  1. No rejection during divergence — never say "can't" / "impossible" while ideating
  2. No empty advice — "improve UX" is fluff, not an idea
  3. Doesn't replace decision — outputs options, not the choice

When input is incomplete

  • Topic too broad → narrow it (probe scenario and user)
  • Missing background → ideate on generic product logic, tag "recommend specific data for sharper output"
  • Single framework specified → use only that one, but suggest "more frameworks = more dimensions"
  • /pm-prd — Top idea → PRD
  • /pm-prioritize — Idea list → formal ranking
  • /pm-user-stories — Ideas → developable Stories
  • /pm-feedback — Pain points from feedback → brainstorm fuel
  • /pm-competitive — Validate differentiation level
