Brainstorming Research Ideas
Skill Verified ActiveGuides researchers through structured ideation frameworks to discover high-impact research directions. Use when exploring new problem spaces, pivoting between projects, or seeking novel angles on existing work.
Guides researchers through structured ideation frameworks to discover high-impact research directions, making it easier to explore new problem spaces, pivot between projects, or find novel angles on existing work.
Features
- Provides ten complementary ideation frameworks.
- Targets different cognitive modes for comprehensive exploration.
- Guides from vague curiosity to concrete research proposals.
- Helps identify research gaps and opportunities.
Use Cases
- Starting a new research direction and needing structured exploration.
- Feeling stuck on a current project and seeking fresh angles.
- Evaluating the potential of a half-formed research idea.
- Preparing for brainstorming sessions with collaborators.
Non-Goals
- Providing execution guidance for well-defined research questions.
- Assisting with experimental design or methodology (use domain-specific skills).
- Performing literature reviews (use `scientific-skills:literature-review`).

Brainstorm
99Use when creating or developing, before writing code or implementation plans - refines rough ideas into fully-formed designs through collaborative questioning, alternative exploration, and incremental validation. Don't use during clear 'mechanical' processes
Brainstorming
99Interactive idea refinement using Socratic method to develop fully-formed designs
Game Brainstorm
99Invoke when the user wants to brainstorm game ideas, explore concepts, run structured ideation, or develop a new game concept from scratch. Triggers on: "game idea", "brainstorm", "concept", "ideation", "what if", "game concept", "pitch". Do NOT invoke for reviewing existing designs (use game-design-review) or market analysis (use game-market-research). Part of the AlterLab GameForge collection.
Creative Director
98AI creative director with recursive self-assessment. Generates concepts using world-class methodologies (SIT, TRIZ, Lateral Thinking, bisociation), scores against 6 weighted criteria with Cannes/D&AD/HumanKind calibration, and recursively refines until the 9+ threshold is reached. Accepts briefs in any format — text, voice transcript, PDF, or raw notes. Use when the user asks to generate creative concepts, brainstorm campaign ideas, develop a Big Idea or campaign platform, evaluate or critique existing creative work, find consumer insights, or shares a brief for ideation — including activations, PR-stunts, brand utility, experiential, and non-advertising ideas. Calibrates against a library of 569 legendary campaigns (P01-P18 pattern map) to detect saturation and ensure originality. Do not use for media planning, production budgeting, brand identity/logo design, copywriting final drafts, or market research data collection.
Scientific Brainstorming
98Creative research ideation and exploration. Use for open-ended brainstorming sessions, exploring interdisciplinary connections, challenging assumptions, or identifying research gaps. Best for early-stage research planning when you do not have specific observations yet. For formulating testable hypotheses from data use hypothesis-generation.
Brainstorm Ideas (New Product)
97Brainstorm feature ideas for a new product in initial discovery from PM, Designer, and Engineer perspectives. Use when starting product discovery for a new product, exploring features for a startup idea, or doing initial ideation.
