The instruction itself

3 sections, as written by the author

Brainstorm

Run a compact diverge-to-converge loop.

Workflow

  • Frame: restate the goal, constraints, audience, success criteria, and assumptions.
  • Diverge: generate distinct options across practical, high-leverage, and unusual angles.
  • Challenge: identify weak assumptions, obvious failure modes, tradeoffs, and ideas to reject.
  • Compare: group related ideas and evaluate only on relevant criteria such as impact, effort, risk, novelty, confidence, or time-to-test.
  • Converge: recommend the strongest 3 options with brief rationale and a concrete next step, experiment, outline, or decision checkpoint.

Formats

Use Quick by default. Use Deep only for ambiguous or high-stakes decisions. Ask at most one clarifying question only if missing context would materially change the brainstorm; otherwise state assumptions and proceed.

  • Quick: clusters, challenges, 3 picks.
  • Deep: assumptions, clusters, evaluation table, recommendation.
  • Naming: tone groups, fit, ambiguity, pronunciation.
  • Technical: approaches, tradeoffs, risks, validation.
  • Content: angles, hooks, audiences, outlines.

Avoid filler, near-duplicates, generic best practices, and premature recommendations. If asked for more ideas, explore a new axis before listing variants.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
