Brainstorming
Skill Verified ActiveInteractive idea refinement using Socratic method to develop fully-formed designs
To transform rough ideas into well-defined designs through structured conversational exploration, ensuring clarity on purpose, constraints, and success criteria before implementation.
Features
- Interactive idea refinement using Socratic method
- Structured multi-phase design process
- Exploration of multiple design approaches
- Incremental design presentation and validation
- Delegation to implementation and planning skills
Use Cases
- When a partner describes any feature or project idea
- Before writing code or detailed implementation plans
- To explore multiple design approaches for a new feature
- To validate design components incrementally with a human partner
Non-Goals
- Writing code directly
- Creating implementation plans without design approval
- Forcing a linear progression through design phases
- Operating without clear purpose, constraints, or success criteria
Installation
npx skills add bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skillsRuns the Vercel skills CLI (skills.sh) via npx — needs Node.js locally and at least one installed skills-compatible agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, …). Assumes the repo follows the agentskills.io format.

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
Agent Teams
100Coordinate multiple Claude Code sessions as a team — lead + teammates with shared task lists, mailbox messaging, and file-lock claiming. Patterns for team sizing, task decomposition, and when to use teams vs sub-agents vs worktrees.
Team Lead Persona
100Lead a team — run standups, coordinate tasks, and communicate.
Ce Brainstorm
100Explore requirements and approaches through collaborative dialogue, then write a right-sized requirements document. Use when the user says "let's brainstorm", "what should we build", or "help me think through X", presents a vague or ambitious feature request, or seems unsure about scope or direction -- even without explicitly asking to brainstorm.
Ornament Style Modern
100Design ornamental patterns using modern and speculative aesthetics with colorblind-accessible color scales. Breaks free from historical period constraints to explore cyberpunk, solarpunk, biopunk, brutalist, vaporwave, and other contemporary genres. Includes CVD (Color Vision Deficiency) awareness and perceptually uniform scales (viridis, cividis, inferno). Use when creating ornamental designs in modern or genre-specific aesthetics, designing patterns that must be colorblind-accessible, or exploring hybrid motifs combining historical ornament with contemporary visual language.
Design Workflow
100Anti-AI-generic design guidelines. Use when creating UI prototypes, reviewing designs for generic AI patterns, or setting up a project design system.
