Brainstorm Skill
Analyze ideas through three perspectives: challenging assumptions, finding opportunities, and assessing feasibility.
Usage
code
/brainstorm "your idea"
Process
Step 1: Clarifying Questions (2-4)
- •What problem does this solve?
- •Who is the target user?
- •What does success look like?
- •Any constraints?
Step 2: Three-Perspective Analysis
Use gpt-5.2 for efficiency.
Devil's Advocate
- •What could go wrong?
- •What assumptions are being made?
- •What are the hidden costs?
Optimist
- •What's the best-case outcome?
- •What adjacent opportunities exist?
- •What strengths can be leveraged?
Pragmatist
- •What's the MVP?
- •What resources are required?
- •What's the first step?
Step 3: Synthesis
Combine perspectives:
- •Consensus points
- •Productive tensions
- •Recommended next steps

Model Note
This skill uses gpt-5.2 by default for cost-effective analysis. The smaller model handles perspective generation well, while synthesis can be done by the primary model.
