What This Skill Does
Applies the SCAMPER framework (Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to other uses, Eliminate, Reverse) to generate new ideas or break through creative blocks. Supports quick, full, and targeted modes depending on how deep the exploration needs to go. Built around a specific user's workflow for ideas, frameworks, and hackathon concepts.
Structures open-ended brainstorming into concrete, actionable lenses instead of leaving ideation as a blank page.
When to use it
- Generating hackathon project ideas from an existing tool
- Unsticking a stalled product or feature decision
- Personalizing a borrowed framework to fit your role
- Expanding a raw idea saved in a notes inbox
- Exploring a problem from the opposite direction
