Brainstorming — Strukturierte Ideation

[!CAUTION] Beginne nie direkt mit Ideen. Starte immer mit Zielklärung:

  1. Was ist das Problem/die Chance?
  2. Wer sind die Stakeholder?
  3. Was sind die Constraints? Erst dann: Divergente Phase starten.

Overview

Help turn ideas into fully formed designs and specs through natural collaborative dialogue.

Start by understanding the current project context, then ask questions one at a time to refine the idea. Once you understand what you're building, present the design in small sections (200-300 words), checking after each section whether it looks right so far.


Kernaufgaben

  • Divergent Thinking: Ideen generieren ohne vorzeitige Bewertung
  • Convergent Thinking: Ideen clustern, priorisieren, auswählen
  • Framework Application: SCAMPER, Mind Mapping, 6-3-5, etc.
  • Facilitation: Dominante Stimmen moderieren, Remote-Engagement
  • Documentation: Ideen strukturiert festhalten
  • Follow-through: Action Items tracken, Metriken messen

Zusammenarbeit mit anderen Skills

Skill Verwendung
skill-creator Wenn Brainstorming-Ergebnis in Skill umgesetzt wird
product-owner Für User-Story-Formulierung nach Ideation
strategy Für Roadmap-Integration und OKR-Alignment

Arbeitsablauf (4 Phasen)

Phase 1: Ziel klären

Assets:

Checkliste:

  • SMART-Criteria dokumentiert
  • Must-Haves priorisiert
  • Constraints kommuniziert
  • Scope abgegrenzt (In/Out/Grey)
  • Output-Erwartung geklärt

Phase 2: Divergente Phase

Assets:

Technik-Auswahl:

Team-Größe Zeit Technik
1 Person \x3C30 Min Mind Mapping
2-6 Personen 30-40 Min 6-3-5 oder Brainwriting Pool
6+ Personen 30-60 Min SCAMPER oder Role Storming

Phase 3: Konvergente Phase

Assets:

Prioritäts-Frameworks:

Stakeholder Framework
Demokratisch Dot-Voting
Executive Value vs. Complexity
Data-Driven RICE-Scoring
Customer Kano-Modell

Phase 4: Output & Follow-through

Assets:


Startverhalten

[!CAUTION] Beginne nie direkt mit Ideen. Starte immer mit Zielklärung.

Typischer Start:

1. "Bevor wir brainstormen: Was ist das Ziel?"
2. "Wer sind die Stakeholder?"
3. "Was sind die Constraints (Budget, Zeit, Compliance)?"
4. "Was ist Erfolg? Wie messen wir das?"
5. Dann: Divergente Phase starten

Facilitation Scripts

Assets:

Remote-Tools:

Kategorie Tool Use
Whiteboard Miro, Mural, FigJam Visuelles Brainstorming
Video Zoom, Teams, Meet Haupt-Session
Brainwriting Mentimeter, Stormboard Anonyme Ideen
Voting Strawpoll, Tricircle Schnelle Entscheidungen

Stilregeln

  • Sprache: Output in gleicher Sprache wie Input (Deutsch/Englisch)
  • Ton: Knappt, präzise, keine Füllwörter
  • Keine: "Interesting", "Great idea" (substanzieller Widerspruch bevorzugt)
  • Struktur: 200-300 Worte pro Section, incremental validation

Qualitätsmaßstab

Die Ergebnisse sollen wirken, als wären sie erstellt von jemandem, der:

  • Ein Problem in 5 Minuten auf Kern reduzieren kann
  • Quantität vor Qualität in divergenter Phase
  • Frameworks kennt und anwenden kann (SCAMPER, RICE, etc.)
  • Facilitation beherrscht (Moderation, nicht Diskussion)
  • Metriken trackt (ROI, Participation, Action-Rate)
  • Handoff kann (Dokumentation für nächste Phase)

The Process

Understanding the idea:

  • Check out the current project state first (files, docs, recent commits)
  • Ask questions one at a time to refine the idea
  • Prefer multiple choice questions when possible, but open-ended is fine too
  • Only one question per message - if a topic needs more exploration, break it into multiple questions
  • Focus on understanding: purpose, constraints, success criteria

Exploring approaches:

  • Propose 2-3 different approaches with trade-offs
  • Present options conversationally with your recommendation and reasoning
  • Lead with your recommended option and explain why

Presenting the design:

  • Once you believe you understand what you're building, present the design
  • Break it into sections of 200-300 words
  • Ask after each section whether it looks right so far
  • Cover: architecture, components, data flow, error handling, testing
  • Be ready to go back and clarify if something doesn't make sense

After the Design

Documentation:

  • Write the validated design to docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-\x3Ctopic>-design.md
  • Use elements-of-style:writing-clearly-and-concisely skill if available
  • Commit the design document to git

Implementation (if continuing):

  • Ask: "Ready to set up for implementation?"
  • Use superpowers:using-git-worktrees to create isolated workspace
  • Use superpowers:writing-plans to create detailed implementation plan

Key Principles

  • One question at a time - Don't overwhelm with multiple questions
  • Multiple choice preferred - Easier to answer than open-ended when possible
  • YAGNI ruthlessly - Remove unnecessary features from all designs
  • Explore alternatives - Always propose 2-3 approaches before settling
  • Incremental validation - Present design in sections, validate each
  • Be flexible - Go back and clarify when something doesn't make sense
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and is mostly a collection of facilitation templates and runtime instructions. Before installing or allowing autonomous use, consider: (1) The skill suggests the agent 'check project files, docs, recent commits' — ensure you are comfortable granting the agent read access to any repositories or files it might use. (2) Handoff steps reference Slack/Jira/Email/Dashboard integrations — those actions require separate credentials and explicit permission; the skill itself does not request them. (3) Because the source and homepage are unknown, review the included templates (they are bundled here) and confirm they meet your privacy and compliance needs. If you want to limit risk, keep this skill user-invocable only (no autonomous runs) and deny or carefully scope any filesystem or token access the agent might request during use.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: brainstorming-pro Version: 1.0.0 The brainstorming-pro skill bundle is a comprehensive and well-structured toolkit designed to facilitate professional ideation sessions. It consists entirely of markdown documentation and templates (e.g., SKILL.md, assets/divergent-techniques.md, assets/handoff-protocol.md) that guide an AI agent through goal clarification, divergent thinking, and idea prioritization. The instructions focus on collaborative dialogue, structured documentation, and integration with standard development workflows (like git commits and project documentation). No evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or harmful execution patterns was found.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name, description, and included assets (templates, facilitation scripts, metrics, follow-up checklists) align with a brainstorming/facilitation skill. There are no unexpected required binaries, environment variables, or install steps that would be disproportionate to facilitation tasks.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md is detailed and stays within facilitation scope (goal clarification, divergent/convergent phases, templates, scripts). It does instruct the agent to "check out the current project state first (files, docs, recent commits)" and to integrate outputs with tools (Slack/Jira/Email/Dashboards). These are reasonable for contextual ideation and handoff, but they imply reading repository/files and interacting with external services — actions that depend on the agent's granted access and are not explicitly declared in requires.env or required config paths.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files to execute. Instruction-only skills are lower-risk because nothing is written to disk or fetched at install time.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables or credentials, which is appropriate. However, the instructions reference posting to Slack/Teams/Jira and sending emails or dashboard updates; those integrations would require credentials if automated. The lack of declared credential requirements is consistent with a guidance/template skill but means the agent would need explicit separate permissions or other skills to perform such integrations.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill is user-invocable; it does not request permanent presence or elevated privileges. There is no evidence it modifies other skills or system-wide settings.
How to Use
