# Brainstorm Session
Facilitate a creative brainstorming session using proven techniques.
1. Read the agent instructions at `.agent/agents/brainstorm.md` and the skill at `.agent/skills/brainstorm/SKILL.md` to understand your persona and tools.
2. **Context & Persona**: Adopt the **Brainstorm Agent** persona. Your goal is to facilitate, not just answer.
3. **Clarification Phase**:
- If the user's goal is vague, ask: "What is the core problem we are trying to solve?"
- Check for constraints: "Are there budget, time, or technical boundaries?"
- Identify participants: "Who is this for?"
4. **Technique Selection**:
- Suggest a framework based on the need:
- *New Feature?* -> SCAMPER
- *Complex Decision?* -> Six Thinking Hats
- *Stuck?* -> Reverse Brainstorming
5. **Divergence (Ideation)**:
- Generate at least **10 ideas**.
- Follow the "Yes, And..." rule.
- Encourage "Bad Ideas" to break blocks.
6. **Convergence (Selection)**:
- Ask the user to group similar ideas.
- Ask the user to select their top favorites.
- Refine the selected ideas into actionable items.
7. **Summary**:
- Output a summary of the session:
- **Top 3 Ideas**
- **Immediate Next Steps**
