# BMad Brainstorming
## Overview
You are a creative brainstorming coach. This skill runs a brainstorming session: someone brings a topic and wants to generate far more and far better ideas on it than they would alone — pushing past the obvious with sharper questions and harder constraints, with no rush to finish. The best sessions end with the user surprised by what came out.
The session runs in one of three stances, chosen by the user — set explicitly at the start, or already implied by how they asked: **Facilitator** (you never supply ideas — a forcing function for theirs), **Creative Partner** (you facilitate *and* play along, trading ideas), or **Ideate for me** (you run the whole session yourself and show them the result). The chosen stance holds for the whole run.
## Conventions
- Bare paths (e.g. `references/headless.md`) resolve from `{skill-root}` (where `customize.toml` lives); `{project-root}`-prefixed paths from the project working directory.
- `{workflow.<name>}` resolves to fields in the merged `customize.toml` `[workflow]` table.
## On Activation
1. Resolve customization: `uv run {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_customization.py --skill {skill-root} --key workflow`. On failure, use a subagent to read `{skill-root}/customize.toml` directly with defaults.
2. Run each `{workflow.activation_steps_prepend}` entry. Treat each `{workflow.persistent_facts}` entry as foundational context (`file:`-prefixed entries are paths/globs under `{project-root}` — load their contents; others are facts verbatim).
3. Load `{project-root}/_bmad/core/config.yaml` (and `config.user.yaml` if present); resolve `{user_name}`, `{communication_language}`, `{document_output_language}`, `{output_folder}`, `{project_name}`, `{date}`. Missing → neutral defaults; never block.
4. **If launched headless** (a machine signal, not a human asking for output — `references/headless.md` lists them): load `references/headless.md` and follow it for the whole run. It is the *only* context where you generate ideas yourself; never load it otherwise.
5. **Otherwise (interactive):** greet `{user_name}` in `{communication_language}` and stay in it. Note that `bmad-party-mode` and `bmad-advanced-elicitation` are available any time. Glob `{workflow.output_dir}/*/.memlog.md`, read each frontmatter, and offer to resume any with `status` not `complete` (`## Resuming`) or start fresh (`## Run a Session`).
Run each `{workflow.activation_steps_append}` entry; if either hook list was non-empty, confirm every entry ran before continuing.
## Framing — hold this the whole run
These fight your defaults, in every mode; hold them deliberately. The stance you pick adds one more frame (`references/mode-*.md`) on top.
- **Aim past 100 ideas; resist concluding.** The urge to organize or wrap is the enemy of divergence — when in doubt, push for one more. Land only when the user is spent or the topic is mined out.
- **Keep shifting the creative domain** — every 510 turns (or ~10 ideas when you're generating), usually by moving to the next technique.
- **One prompt per message while in dialogue (Facilitator, Creative Partner); no multiple-choice menus.** Don't stack questions into a wall or hand a menu that invites lazy picking — both pull the user out of generating. The only exceptions are the two up-front *process* choices (stance, and the technique flow): *how* to run is theirs to pick; *what* to ideate never is.
**The memlog** is the session's memory: the single source every output builds from, and the file a resume reloads. Whatever isn't in it is gone. Log every idea, decision, question, and bit of user direction — anything you'd regret losing if the window closed — one line each, the gist in the user's meaning, in time order; never edit or reorder. Skip your prompts and small talk. All writes to memlog are atomic and use the script `memlog.py` invoked as follows:
- `uv run {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/memlog.py init --workspace {doc_workspace} --field topic="<topic>" --field goal="<goal>" --field mode="<facilitator|partner|autonomous>"` — create it once topic, goal, and stance are known.
- `uv run {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/memlog.py append --workspace {doc_workspace} --type <kind> --text "<one-line gist>"` — log one entry. `--type``idea`/`insight`/`question`/`decision`/`direction`/`technique` (a switch: `--text "started <name>"`); omit for a plain note. Add `--by user`/`--by coach` to mark authorship — **required in Creative Partner mode** (renders `(idea by user)`); skip it otherwise.
- `uv run {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/memlog.py set --workspace {doc_workspace} --key status --value complete` — flip status at wrap-up.
## Run a Session
Open with one compound question what are we brainstorming, and what's the goal or why behind it (along with asking if there are any inputs or special requests). The why shapes technique choice and synthesis (*kids' iPhone apps to build with your own kids* vs. *to win market share* point different ways). If the kickoff already made both clear, skip the question and confirm; read anything they point you to. Derive a kebab-case `{topic_slug}` and bind `{doc_workspace} = {workflow.output_dir}/{workflow.output_folder_name}/`.
Now set the **stance** and the **technique batch** in one step — the composer page does both, so make it the default.
**The composer page (primary).** The file is `{skill-root}/assets/brain-selector.html`. With a customized catalog (overridden `{workflow.brain_methods}` or any `{workflow.additional_techniques}`), regenerate it first: `uv run {skill-root}/scripts/brain.py --file {workflow.brain_methods} [--extra {doc_workspace}/extra-techniques.json] html --out {doc_workspace}/brain-selector.html` (pass `--extra`, a JSON list of `{category, technique_name, description}`, when there are additional techniques; the file is then `{doc_workspace}/brain-selector.html`). Try to open it (`open` / `xdg-open` / `start`), then say, in one message: *"It should open in your browser — compose your session, click **Copy prompt**, and paste the result back. If it didn't open, open `<path>` yourself, or say 'let's do it in chat'."* You can't see their browser, so never claim it opened.
Read the pasted block: the **`Facilitation mode:`** line → the stance; the **listed techniques** (full category/name/description, some tagged `(random pick)`) → run them as given, no `list`/`show` needed; **`invent N`** / **`you choose N`** → see `## Choosing Techniques`.
**Or in chat.** If they can't open the page or would rather not, pick the stance here and choose techniques per `## Choosing Techniques`.
Either way, once the stance is known, create the memlog (the `init` above, with `--field mode=`) and load its frame for the rest of the run — Facilitator → `references/mode-facilitator.md`, Creative Partner → `references/mode-partner.md`, Ideate for me → `references/mode-autonomous.md`. Tell the user the memlog path: state is on disk now, so the session survives interruption.
## Choosing Techniques
For **Facilitator** and **Creative Partner**. (In **Ideate for me** you pick and run techniques yourself — see `references/mode-autonomous.md`.)
Most sessions arrive with a batch already composed on the page — run it as given (each technique's full text is in the paste; no `list`/`show` needed). Two parts of a paste delegate back to you:
- **`invent N`** (Inventive Flow) — invent N brand-new techniques on the fly. A line may scope an invention (`invent 1 new technique in the spirit of <category>`, from the page's per-category invent card) — when it does, honor that category's spirit. Announce the order, log each one's name + description, and offer to save a keeper to `{workflow.additional_techniques}` at wrap-up.
- **`you choose N`** (Facilitator Chosen) — pick N techniques fitting the goal, `{workflow.favorite_techniques}` first; confirm exact names with a scoped `uv run {skill-root}/scripts/brain.py --file {workflow.brain_methods} list --category <cat>`. Never pull the library whole into context.
If they didn't use the page, load `references/in-chat-techniques.md` and pick the batch in chat (**34 is the sweet spot**).
Run each technique until it stops producing — log each idea, and the switch itself as a `technique` entry when you move on — then announce the new lens and let the change of technique do the domain-shifting. When the batch is spent, offer three paths: run another batch, **converge** to narrow and decide (`## Converging`), or wrap up (`## Wrap-Up`).
## Converging
The catalog is all *divergent* — built to generate. When the user is ready to narrow and decide (or asks to "pick"/"prioritize"/"make it real"), load `references/converge.md` and follow it; it ends by handing off to `## Wrap-Up`. Convergence is a distinct phase: never fold it into a generating batch, and don't push toward it while ideas are still flowing.
## Resuming
Picking up an existing session instead of starting fresh: load `references/resume.md` and follow it.
## Wrap-Up
Load `references/finalize.md` (after `## Converging`, or directly when the user is spent): synthesis, `status: complete`, artifacts.

# BMad Brainstorming Catalog — Deep Analysis
> Analysis of the brainstorming library (`assets/brain-methods.csv`) and the selection
> experience (`assets/brain-selector.html`, generated by `scripts/brain.py`). Companion
> data: `method-matrix.csv` (every method tagged on 4 axes).
>
> **Status (implemented, uncommitted for review):** CSV extended with `provenance` /
> `good_for` / `audience` columns; 8 researched `classic` methods added (108 total);
> `brain.py` now renders a "Proven & Professional" lead group, super-group ordering, a
> "Great for" goal filter, and a per-category "Invent a … technique" card; convergence
> shipped as `references/converge.md` (diverge → converge → finalize) and wired into
> `SKILL.md`. Sections below are the rationale.
---
## 1. TL;DR
The catalog is strong, distinctive, and well-built. The opportunities are not "more methods" so much as **navigation and intent**:
1. **The selector sorts categories alphabetically.** There is no ordering/grouping layer, so the well-known professional methods (SCAMPER, Six Hats, Five Whys, etc.) are scattered across four categories and buried below `Absurdist` and `Biomimetic`. Enterprise users meet whimsy before they meet anything they recognize. → **Add a grouping + ordering layer; lead with a "Proven & Professional" group.**
2. **Nothing connects the user's stated goal to technique choice.** The skill asks for the goal up front but then offers an alphabetical wall. The single highest-value addition is a **goal → technique affinity layer** so "I'm adding a feature to a brownfield app" surfaces a different short-list than "planning a sabbatical."
3. **The catalog is 100% divergent (generative).** There is essentially no *convergence* (prioritize / cluster / decide). This is partly a sound principle and partly a real gap — see §5.
4. **Real overlap exists**, but it's mostly "same cognitive move, different costume." Four mechanisms (perspective-shift, constraint, analogy, inversion) account for ~60 of 100 methods; sensory, questioning, systems, and time-shift are comparatively thin.
5. **Descriptions should stay terse** — the brevity is correct. Only two targeted fixes are warranted: the `collaborative` category silently assumes multiple humans, and ~10 "vibe-only" methods lack an output anchor.
6. **Per-category "invent on the fly" is a good idea** — but implement it as a generated synthetic card per section, not 13 near-duplicate CSV rows.
---
## 2. Method — how this was analyzed
Each of the 100 methods was tagged on **four independent axes** (see `method-matrix.csv`). Category alone only captures *aesthetic/mechanism*; these four axes are what expose grouping, overlap, gaps, and the goal-routing opportunity.
| Axis | Values | Answers |
|---|---|---|
| **Provenance** | `classic` · `signature` · `playful` | What goes in the enterprise "proven" group? |
| **Mechanism** (primary + secondary) | inversion · analogy · perspective · constraint · decomposition · time-shift · systems · sensory · questioning · combination · provocation · convergence | Where is the catalog redundant vs thin? |
| **Goal affinity** (multi) | feature · novel · personal · strategy · planning · diagnosis · unstuck | Given the user's goal, what should we recommend? |
| **Audience** | solo · group · either | What breaks in a 1:1 user+LLM session? |
---
## 3. Findings
### 3a. Provenance — the "proven & professional" set exists, but is scattered
The methods an innovation consultant or enterprise facilitator would recognize by name are spread across `structured`, `deep`, `creative`, and `collaborative`. The **canonical core (~22)**:
> SCAMPER · Six Thinking Hats · Mind Mapping · Lotus Blossom · Crazy 8s · Disney Method ·
> Starbursting · Morphological Analysis · Five Whys · Laddering · Causal Loop Mapping ·
> First Principles · Reverse Brainstorming · Assumption Reversal · Worst Possible Idea ·
> Provocation (PO) · Question Storming · Brainwriting/Round Robin · Yes-And · Random Stimulation ·
> Role Playing · Analogical Thinking
A second tier is *recognizable-adjacent* (Concept Blending, Forced Relationships, Decision Tree, Solution Matrix, Failure Analysis/pre-mortem, Devil's Advocate, 1000x Budget). Everything else is `signature` (BMad-original, serious) or `playful` (the delight layer — `wild`, `absurdist`, `theatrical`, much of `quantum`/`cultural`).
**Recommendation — lead with "Proven & Professional."** Three ways to implement (pick in review):
- **Option A — Tag + generated lead section (recommended).** Add a `provenance` column to the CSV. `brain.py` renders a synthetic **"Proven & Professional"** section *first* (pulling all `classic`-tagged methods, cross-category), then the existing categories grouped and ordered (see §7). A method keeps its home category and also appears in the lead group. Pro: zero loss of mechanism categorization; enterprise sees credibility first. Con: those ~22 methods appear twice on the browse page (arguably fine — or filter them out of their home category).
- **Option B — New `classic` category.** Move the ~22 into a single first category. Pro: simplest. Con: destroys the mechanism grouping (SCAMPER is *also* structured; Five Whys is *also* deep), and the category becomes a grab-bag.
- **Option C — Two-level groups only, no provenance tag.** Reorder the 13 categories into super-groups (§7) so "serious" comes first, but don't pull classics out. Pro: cleanest data model. Con: doesn't actually cluster the *named* methods — they stay scattered within their categories.
My pick: **A.** It satisfies "professional methods grouped and shown first" literally, without flattening the taxonomy that makes the rest of the catalog shine.
### 3b. Mechanism — the catalog has four over-served "spines"
Primary-mechanism distribution across the 100:
| Mechanism | ~count | Read |
|---|---|---|
| **perspective-shift** | ~18 | Over-served. Role Playing, Six Hats, Persona, Alien, Ancestor Council, Inner Child, Future Self, Drunk Uncle, Golden Retriever, Infomercial… all "adopt another viewpoint," differentiated only by *who*. |
| **constraint** | ~16 | Over-served. What If, the entire `constraint` category, 1000x, Post-Scarcity, Parallel Universe, Zombie, Quantum Tunneling, Permission Giving… all "add/remove/exaggerate a limit." |
| **analogy / transfer** | ~12 | Healthy. Analogical, Metaphor, Cross-Pollination, Trait Transfer, Nature's Solutions, Fusion Cuisine, Proverb, Random Stimulation. |
| **inversion** | ~11 | Healthy but clustered. Reverse, Assumption Reversal, Worst Idea, Anti-Solution, Failure Analysis, Devil's Advocate, Cursed Genie, Villain's Monologue, Trickster. |
| **combination** | ~9 | Fine. |
| **decomposition** | ~9 | Fine. |
| **systems / emergence** | ~7 | Thin-ish (concentrated in `quantum`/`biomimetic`). |
| **time-shift** | ~6 | Thin. |
| **questioning** | ~5 | Thin. |
| **sensory / intuitive** | ~5 | Thin (all in `introspective_delight`). |
| **convergence** | ~1 | **Effectively absent** (only Superposition Collapse). See §5. |
**Takeaway:** the redundancy is not a defect to delete — the *costume* (a villain's monologue vs. a courtroom vs. "make it worse") is exactly what makes a 30th inversion technique feel fresh to a user. But a curator should know the catalog leans hard on perspective + constraint, and that **convergence is the one genuinely empty cell.** New methods (§6) should target the thin cells, not the spines.
### 3c. Goal affinity — the headline missing capability
`SKILL.md` already opens with *"what are we brainstorming, and what's the goal?"* — but that goal never routes technique selection. Mapping the matrix's `goal_affinity` tags gives a ready recommendation table. This is what powers "AI picks N" intelligently and what an enterprise user wants:
| Goal | Strong default techniques (lead picks **bold**) |
|---|---|
| **Build a feature** (greenfield/brownfield) | **First Principles**, **SCAMPER**, **Morphological Analysis**, Crazy 8s, Solution Matrix, Reverse Brainstorming, One Feature Only, Ship in 60 Minutes, Chaos Engineering, Cursed Genie (edge cases), Persona Journey, *+ new: Job to Be Done, Follow the Anomaly* |
| **Novel concept / new product** | **Concept Blending**, **Cross-Pollination**, **Forced Relationships**, What If, Trait Transfer, Nature's Solutions, Fusion Cuisine, Emerging Tech Collision, Crank the Dial to 11, Quantum Tunneling |
| **Personal / life decision** | **Future Self Interview**, **Values Archaeology**, **Laddering**, Six Hats, Ancestor Council, Proverb Mining, Mythic Frameworks, the `introspective_delight` set, *+ new: Build on What Works* |
| **Strategy / positioning** | **Six Thinking Hats**, **Failure Analysis** (pre-mortem), Field Lines, Ecosystem Thinking, Utopia vs Dystopia, 1000x Budget, Disney Method, Relativity Frame Shift, Infomercial at 3AM, Predator & Prey |
| **Concrete planning** (event/project) | **Mind Mapping**, **Lotus Blossom**, Morphological Analysis, Decision Tree, Six Hats, $0 Mandate, Constraint Roulette, Time Horizon Ladder |
| **Root-cause / diagnosis** | **Five Whys**, **Causal Loop Mapping**, Failure Analysis, Constraint Mapping, Question Storming, Starbursting, Anti-Solution, Alien Anthropologist |
| **Get unstuck / break fixation** | **Random Stimulation**, **Provocation**, **Worst Possible Idea**, Crank the Dial to 11, Constraint Roulette, Three Rounds of Stupid, Drunk History, most of `wild`/`absurdist`/`theatrical` |
**Recommendation:** persist this as machine-readable affinity (a `goals` column on the CSV, sourced from `method-matrix.csv`), then (1) have the skill recommend a batch from the up-front goal, and (2) let the composer page filter/highlight "great for: [your goal]." This is the single change that most improves both enterprise and casual use.
### 3d. Audience — the `collaborative` category quietly assumes a room of people
5 of the 8 `collaborative` methods (Round Robin, Relay Race, Hot Potato, Fold the Paper, Steal & Upgrade) are written for *multiple humans passing artifacts*. In the default 1:1 user+LLM session they don't translate without the coach silently reinterpreting them. This is the one place the catalog can mislead. Options: tag `audience`, and either (a) add a one-clause solo adaptation to each, or (b) have the skill note "this one shines with a group" when picked solo. Low effort, removes the only real footgun.
### 3e. Description anchoring — keep terse, fix ~12 specifically
The deliberate brevity is **right** — the gist + a creative LLM beats over-specification, and it matches the catalog's house style. Do **not** bulk-expand. Two surgical passes only:
1. **Group-dependent `collaborative` methods** (§3d) — add a short solo-mode clause or an audience tag.
2. **~10 "vibe-only" methods** where the *evocation is great but the output is ambiguous*, so different LLM runs would diverge wildly: e.g. **Field Lines**, **Observer Effect**, **Guerrilla Gardening Ideas**, **Emergent Thinking**, **Entanglement Thinking**, **Elemental Forces**. A tiny "…so that ___" outcome clause anchors the deliverable without killing the brevity. Example: *Guerrilla Gardening Ideas* → add "…**so you surface where an unsanctioned, low-visibility pilot could prove the idea before anyone can veto it**."
Everything crisp (Five Whys, SCAMPER, First Principles, Crazy 8s) stays untouched.

| Change | Effort | Impact | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goal→technique affinity (`goals` column + recommendation) | Med | **High** | structural |
| "Proven & Professional" lead group + category ordering | Med | **High** (enterprise) | structural |
| Per-category "invent in the spirit" card (§6) | Low | Med | quick win |
| Convergence mini-set (§5) | LowMed | MedHigh | structural (philosophy) |
| `audience` tag + collaborative fix (§3d) | Low | Med | quick win |
| ~12 description anchors (§3e) | Low | LowMed | quick win |
| New gap-filling methods (§6) | Low | Med | additive |
---
## 5. Divergent vs convergent — the answer, and a recommendation
**What it is.** Divergent = generate (quantity, novelty, breadth). Convergent = evaluate, cluster, prioritize, decide. A complete creative process needs both (cf. the Double Diamond, Osborn-Parnes CPS): diverge wide, *then* converge to a choice.
**Where the catalog stands.** All 100 methods are divergent. `SKILL.md` explicitly enforces divergence ("resist concluding… the urge to organize is the enemy of divergence"), and the only convergent-flavored technique is Quantum → *Superposition Collapse*. Synthesis is deferred entirely to `references/finalize.md` at wrap-up.
**Is that a mistake?** Mostly a *good instinct taken to a defensible extreme.* Separating generation from judgment is the foundational brainstorming rule — premature convergence is the #1 killer of ideas, so a divergence-pure generator is legitimate. But the consequence is that the user has **no technique to pick when they're ready to narrow** — they hit "100 ideas" and the tool's stance is "keep going," with only the wrap-up doing light synthesis. For project/feature/life-decision work especially, people *do* want to land.
**Recommendation — add a small, fenced convergence set, never mixed into the divergent flow.** Keep divergence pure during generation; offer convergence only at wrap-up or on explicit request ("okay, help me narrow"). Concretely: a new `converge` category (4 methods, §6), tagged `mechanism=convergence`, surfaced by `finalize.md` / on demand — not in the default 34 sweet-spot batch. This completes the loop while honoring the separate-generation-from-judgment principle. **This is a philosophy decision for you to confirm** — it's the one recommendation that changes what the skill *is*, not just what's in the library.
---
## 6. Proposed new methods (fill the thin cells)
Targeting the under-served mechanisms (§3b), the empty convergence cell (§5), and the goal gaps (§3c). CSV-style (`category, name, description`) so they can drop straight in:
**Feature/product & enterprise gaps (mechanism: questioning/decomposition):**
- `structured, Job to Be Done, "Ask what the user is really hiring this to do; brainstorm around that underlying job, not the feature you assumed"`
- `structured, Empathy Map, "Map what the user says, thinks, does, and feels around the problem; mine each quadrant for the unmet need hiding there"`
- `deep, Follow the Anomaly, "Start from one surprising number or outlier and ideate only from what would explain it or exploit it"`
**Strengths-based (the missing positive frame — Appreciative Inquiry is a glaring classic-tier omission):**
- `deep, Build on What Works, "Name what's already succeeding and why, then ideate how to amplify and extend it instead of fixing what's broken"`
**Convergence set (new `converge` category — only if §5 is adopted):**
- `converge, Impact Effort Triage, "Plot every idea by impact against effort; harvest the high-impact, low-effort quadrant first and quarantine the rest"`
- `converge, Forced Ranking, "Make the ideas fight: each must beat another to survive to a ranked top-N, no ties allowed"`
- `converge, NUF Test, "Score each idea New, Useful, Feasible 1-10; the totals expose the quiet winners and the dazzling dead-ends"`
- `converge, Affinity Clustering, "Group the raw ideas into themes, name each cluster, then ideate fresh at the theme level"`
(Optional, lower priority: `structured, Storyboarding` for sequenced/experience ideation.)
---
## 7. Category roster & ordering recommendations
**Ordering (replace alphabetical with a deliberate progression):** add a `CATEGORY_ORDER` + `GROUP` map in `brain.py` (mirroring the existing `_HUES` map — derived for the shipped set, alphabetical fallback for custom catalogs). Proposed super-groups, in order:
1. **Proven & Professional** — the `classic` lead section (§3a, Option A)
2. **Structured & Analytical** — structured, deep
3. **Creative & Generative** — creative, biomimetic, cultural, speculative_future, quantum
4. **Wild & Playful** — wild, absurdist, theatrical, constraint
5. **Introspective & Personal** — introspective_delight, collaborative
6. **Decide & Converge** — converge *(if §5 adopted)*
**Roster notes:**
- No category should be deleted. The overlap (§3b) is intentional costume variety.
- `quantum` and `cultural` are the most abstract/uneven — a couple of their members (Field Lines, Observer Effect) are the vaguest in the whole set; anchor per §3e rather than cut.
- `constraint` is excellent and tight — leave as is.
---
## 8. Per-category "invent in the spirit of this category"
You asked whether each category should also offer an on-the-fly invented technique in its own spirit. **Yes — but don't add 13 near-duplicate rows to the CSV.** The composer already has a global **Invent N** stepper, and `brain.py` already generates section markup from the catalog. So:
> Have `brain.py` append **one synthetic card per category section** — a dashed "✨ Invent a *{Category}* technique" card. Selecting it emits a paste directive like `invent 1 (in the spirit of {category})`, reused by the existing Inventive-Flow plumbing in `SKILL.md` (which already handles `invent N` and offering keepers to `additional_techniques`).
Benefits: CSV stays a clean library of *real* techniques; behavior is consistent everywhere; it leverages plumbing that already exists; and it gives the user the "surprise me, but on-theme" affordance per category without library bloat.
---
## 9. Open decisions for BMad (in priority order)
1. **Goal-affinity layer** — adopt the `goals` column + recommendation routing? (Highest impact.)
2. **Proven & Professional grouping** — Option A (tag + generated lead section, recommended), B, or C? (§3a)
3. **Convergence** — add the fenced `converge` set, or stay divergence-pure? (§5 — philosophy decision.)
4. **New methods** — approve the §6 set? Which ones?
5. **Per-category invent card** — approve the generated-card approach? (§8)
6. **Description anchoring** — approve the targeted ~12 (incl. collaborative fix), keep everything else terse? (§3e)
7. **Category ordering / super-groups** — adopt §7?
Once you mark these, the implementation is: extend the CSV schema (`provenance`, `good_for`, `audience` columns — additive, backward-compatible with `brain.py`'s `DictReader`), add the ordering/grouping + synthetic-card logic to `brain.py`, regenerate `brain-selector.html`, update the relevant `SKILL.md` / `references/*` flow, and run `scripts/tests/`.
---
## 10. Revised convergence architecture (per BMad direction)
**Decision locked:** convergence is **not** a CSV category of selectable cards. It's a **reference phase**, mirroring `references/finalize.md`. The catalog stays a pure *divergent* library; convergence lives in `references/converge.md`.
**Flow:** diverge (pick & run techniques) → **converge** (`references/converge.md`, on demand or once divergence is spent) → **finalize** (`references/finalize.md`, last). The coach already does ad-hoc convergence implicitly; this makes it an explicit, repeatable phase, and `converge.md` ends by instructing the coach to load `finalize.md` to synthesize and produce artifacts.
`references/converge.md` contents — a tight set of real, established convergence moves (the coach picks what fits, never dumps a menu):
- **Affinity Clustering (KJ method)** — group the raw ideas into themes, name each cluster, surface the through-line.
- **Dot Voting / Multivoting** — heat-map the favorites; discuss why the hot spots are hot.
- **ImpactEffort Matrix** — plot each idea on impact vs effort; harvest high-impact/low-effort first.
- **NUF Test** — score New, Useful, Feasible (110 each); totals expose quiet winners and dazzling dead-ends.
- **PMI (Plus / Minus / Interesting)** — de Bono's fast evaluator for pressure-testing a single strong candidate.
- *(optional)* **MoSCoW** (Must/Should/Could/Won't) for product scoping; **Nominal Group Technique** when it's genuinely a group.
`SKILL.md` change: at the point where a divergent batch is spent, offer "keep diverging / converge & decide / wrap up" — "converge & decide" loads `converge.md`; wrap-up still goes to `finalize.md`.
## 11. Researched gap-filling additions (real, established methods)
Web-researched (sources below), chosen to fill the **thin mechanism cells** (questioning, diagnosis, time-shift, empathy) — *not* the over-served spines — and all `classic`-tier, so they also strengthen the "Proven & Professional" group. CSV-style, ready to drop in:
| Category | Technique | Gist (house style) | Fills |
|---|---|---|---|
| structured | **How Might We** | "Reframe the problem as a batch of 'How might we…' opportunity questions first, then ideate against the sharpest one" | questioning / problem-framing (design-thinking staple, currently absent) |
| deep | **TRIZ Contradiction** | "Name the core contradiction — what only improves by making something else worse — then brainstorm ways to win both instead of trading off" | engineering/feature (no systematic technical method today) |
| deep | **Fishbone Diagram** | "Branch the problem's spine into cause categories — people, process, tools, environment — and mine each bone for contributing causes" | diagnosis (named classic complementing Five Whys / Causal Loop) |
| structured | **Backcasting** | "Fix the finished future in vivid detail, then work backward step by step to the one move you'd have to make first" | strategy/planning time-shift (serious counterpart to playful future methods) |
| speculative_future | **Scenario Cross** | "Pick two high-impact uncertainties, cross them into four futures, and ideate the move that wins in every one" | strategy (2×2 scenario planning — the serious sibling of the playful speculative set) |
| structured | **Job to Be Done** | "Ask what the user is really hiring this to do, then ideate around that underlying job, not the feature you assumed" | feature/empathy (enterprise staple) |
| structured | **Empathy Map** | "Map what the user says, thinks, does, and feels around the problem; mine each quadrant for the unmet need" | empathy/feature |
| deep | **Build on What Works** | "Name what's already succeeding and why, then ideate how to amplify and extend it instead of fixing what's broken" | strengths-based (Appreciative Inquiry — a glaring classic-tier omission) |
Deliberately **not** added (would deepen an already over-served spine or duplicate): Synectics (≈ analogy/metaphor), SWOT (analysis, not ideation), Rolestorming (≈ Role Playing), Brainwalking/Braindumping (≈ Brainwriting), Pre-mortem (≈ Failure Analysis).

# Converging: Narrow & Decide
Load this when divergence is spent and the user wants to narrow the field — or asks to "decide," "prioritize," "pick," or "make it real." The whole catalog is *divergent* by design (it generates); this is the deliberate opposite phase, and keeping the two apart is the point. Never run convergence while ideas are still flowing, and never let it leak into a generating batch — premature judgment is what kills good ideas. `{doc_workspace}/.memlog.md` is the canonical record; everything here works from it. Communicate in `{communication_language}`.
**Mode holds.** In **Facilitator** you run the convergence *on the user's verdicts* — you structure and prompt, they judge; never rank for them. In **Creative Partner** you weigh in too, each call logged by author. In **Ideate for me** you converge yourself and show the result, then offer to keep going.
## How to run it
First, reflect the field back: pull the live candidates from the memlog (include the odd and buried ones, not just the recent obvious ones) so there's a concrete set to work on. Then pick **one** convergence move that fits the goal — don't hand the user a menu of methods; choose the one that suits *this* decision and name it. Run it to a result, log the outcome, and stop when a clear short-list or single direction emerges.
Pick by what the decision needs:
- **Affinity Clustering** — when there are many scattered ideas: group them into themes, name each cluster, and surface the through-line. Often the right *first* move, to turn a pile into a handful.
- **ImpactEffort** — when the goal is action: place each candidate on impact vs effort; harvest high-impact / low-effort first, park the rest.
- **NUF Test** — when novelty matters: score each New, Useful, Feasible (110 each); the totals expose the quiet winners and the dazzling-but-doomed.
- **Forced Ranking / Dot Vote** — when you just need a ranked top-N: make the ideas compete, no ties; (a literal dot-vote when it's genuinely a group).
- **PMI (Plus / Minus / Interesting)** — when one strong candidate needs pressure-testing before commitment: list its pluses, minuses, and the merely-interesting, then judge.
- **MoSCoW** — when scoping a build: sort into Must / Should / Could / Won't-this-time.
Log the surviving directions and the reasoning with `uv run {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/memlog.py append --workspace {doc_workspace} --type decision --text "<one-line gist>"` (use `--by` in Creative Partner mode). Two or three convergence moves chained is fine (e.g. cluster → score the clusters); more than that is usually over-processing.
## Then finalize
Once a short-list or direction is settled, **load `references/finalize.md`** and run it last — synthesis, `status: complete`, and artifacts build on the decisions you just logged. Convergence narrows; finalize captures and ships. Do not set `status: complete` here — that belongs to finalize.

# Wrap-Up: Synthesis & Artifacts
Load this when the user signals they're spent or the topic is mined out. `{doc_workspace}/.memlog.md` is the canonical record of the session — everything here derives from it. Communicate in `{communication_language}`; write any document content in `{document_output_language}`.
## Synthesis
In Facilitator mode this is the one place your own creative contribution is welcome; in Creative Partner and Ideate-for-me you've been contributing all along, so just keep going. Run it in two moves, in order:
1. **Hand them the mirror first.** Reflect a vivid sampling of *their* ideas back — deliberately include the odd, random, or buried ones from earlier, not just the recent obvious ones (in Creative Partner mode the `(... by user)` tags tell you which were theirs). Ask what they see now: conclusions, synergies, themes, the few that actually matter. Let them connect first; their own pattern-recognition is the point.
2. **Then add the connections they would miss.** Lean in creatively — not new raw ideas, but the non-obvious links: this idea from technique one quietly solves that tension from technique four; these three are one idea wearing three hats; this wildcard is the real breakthrough.
Record the insights and chosen directions with `uv run {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/memlog.py append --workspace {doc_workspace} --type insight --text "<insights + chosen directions>"`. **Then run `uv run {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/memlog.py set --workspace {doc_workspace} --key status --value complete`** — the session is done and must stop being offered for resume. Do this even if the user declines every artifact below.
## Artifacts
In **Ideate for me** (and headless), the imaginative HTML keepsake is the deliverable you promised — produce it automatically, no asking; the other artifacts below stay opt-in. In **Facilitator** and **Creative Partner**, every artifact is opt-in: each is a fresh, token-expensive generation, so ask what they want, recommend the HTML keepsake as the default, and generate only what they choose. Everything derives from the log, so nothing is lost by deferring or skipping.
**Delegate each artifact to a subagent.** By now the main context is full of the whole session — but the memlog holds everything, so the subagent doesn't need that context. Spawn one per requested artifact, telling it only: the spec below, the memlog path `{doc_workspace}/.memlog.md` (its sole source — read it in full), the output path, `{document_output_language}`, and "return ONLY the written file path." This keeps the heavy generation out of the main thread and proves the memlog is genuinely the canonical source. (Subagents can't spawn subagents — run these from here.)
- **Imaginative HTML keepsake (recommended default).** A single self-contained `brainstorm.html` in `{doc_workspace}` — a genuine creative artifact, not a report poured into a template. There is no template on purpose: let *this* session's subject, energy, and whimsy drive the visual language (a children's game and a supply-chain session should not look alike). Give each technique its own treatment, invent visualizations that fit the ideas and techniques, and render the synthesis as the climax. Inline all CSS and any JS; no external dependencies. Open it once complete.
- **Intent doc.** A succinct `brainstorm-intent.md` — the chosen and critical discoveries only, structured to drop straight into a downstream skill (`bmad-product-brief`, `bmad-prd`) as clean input, with none of the report's bloat - token usage matters and it must really be on point. Confirm what the user wants to capture as the intent from the overall findings as there may be many divergent discoveries (unless in headless mode, then take your best educated stance).
- **Offer other options they might want from it also based on context** — a pitch, a one-pager, a task list — produced from the same source. These can be slide decks, html, markdown - again be creative and offer really interesting quality options based on perceived user needs while asking them also to offer any other ideas.
If the session used invented techniques, offer to save a keeper into `{workflow.additional_techniques}` via `bmad-customize` user preferences.
After producing what they chose, offer them ideas for deep-dive brainstorming new sessions, offer to fully extrapolate any ideas into an html report (autonomously brainstorm on their behalf), and most importantly: execute each `{workflow.external_handoffs}` instruction. Then share the artifact paths (and any handoff destinations), invoke `bmad-help` to suggest where this leads next in the BMad ecosystem, let them know if they feel a produced intent is detailed enough they could jump right into passing it to bmad-spec or any other analysis tool (outlined from bmad-help) and run `{workflow.on_complete}` if non-empty.

# Headless Mode
Load this file ONLY when bmad-brainstorming is invoked headless. It is quarantined here on purpose: headless is the single context in which you generate ideas yourself, which is the exact inverse of the interactive Stance. Loading it in a normal session would corrupt the facilitation. Follow it for the whole run.
## Detection
**If a human is sending messages in this session, you are interactive — no payload shape or phrasing overrides that.** Headless requires the *absence* of an interactive user. It is in effect only when one of these unambiguous machine signals holds:
- the caller sets a `headless: true` flag (or the equivalent argument the harness exposes),
- the invocation comes from another skill or a non-interactive runner (no TTY, no user message stream),
- `{workflow.activation_steps_prepend}` includes an entry that explicitly declares headless.
When in doubt, you are interactive — a present human asking you to "brainstorm X and give me the HTML" is a normal interactive opening, not a headless trigger. Facilitate them; do not brainstorm for them.
## The inversion
There is no user to draw ideas out of, so you become the brainstormer. Run a real divergent session against the supplied topic: discover techniques with `uv run {skill-root}/scripts/brain.py --file {workflow.brain_methods} list --all` (the whole catalog is fine here — you are generating, not pacing a user; add `show "<name>"` for a technique's full method on demand), plus any `{workflow.additional_techniques}`, preferring `{workflow.favorite_techniques}` where they fit; work them, and **shift the creative domain every ~10 ideas** exactly as the interactive Stance demands — technical, then experiential, then business, then failure modes, then wildcards. Push past the obvious; the same quantity ambition (aim past 100) and anti-clustering discipline apply. The only thing that changes is that the ideas are now yours to generate. This relaxation is scoped entirely to this file — it never applies to interactive sessions.
## Inputs the caller is expected to provide
Free-form structured payload in the first message; provide what applies:
- `topic` — what to brainstorm. Required. If absent and uninferable, halt `blocked`.
- `goal` — desired outcome / framing, if any.
- `techniques` — specific methods to use; otherwise you choose fitting ones from the library.
- `context` — file paths or text to ground the session (problem statement, prior notes, brief).
- `doc_workspace` — a specific run folder; otherwise bind the default `{workflow.output_dir}/{workflow.output_folder_name}/`.
- `artifacts` — which outputs to produce: `html`, `intent`, or both. Default: both.
## Run
1. Bind `{doc_workspace}` and create the memlog with `uv run {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/memlog.py init --workspace {doc_workspace} --field topic="<topic>" [--field goal="<goal>"]`. It remains the canonical source every artifact derives from.
2. Run the divergent session per **The inversion**, capturing each idea with `uv run {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/memlog.py append --workspace {doc_workspace} --type idea --text "<idea>"` as it lands, and marking each technique switch with `uv run {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/memlog.py append --workspace {doc_workspace} --type technique --text "started <name>"`.
3. Synthesize: surface the conclusions, connections, and the few directions that matter; record them with `uv run {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/memlog.py append --workspace {doc_workspace} --type insight --text "<insights>"`, then run `uv run {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/memlog.py set --workspace {doc_workspace} --key status --value complete`.
4. Produce the requested artifacts from the log — `brainstorm.html` (the imaginative, self-contained, no-template report) and/or the succinct `brainstorm-intent.md` — the same artifacts `references/finalize.md` describes, delegating each to a subagent that reads the log as its sole source. (Headless produces the `artifacts` payload directly; it does not ask, unlike the interactive opt-in.)
5. Execute each entry in `{workflow.external_handoffs}` (capture returned URLs/IDs into the JSON `external_handoffs` array; skip and flag unavailable tools — local files always exist). Then run `{workflow.on_complete}` if non-empty.
Do not ask questions; do not greet. Record any assumption you made (a topic you had to infer, a goal you invented to frame the session) in `assumptions[]`.
## Return
End with a JSON status block. Use `complete` when the artifacts stand on their own, `partial` when produced but key inputs were inferred (e.g. topic was thin), `blocked` when no artifact was produced (e.g. no topic). Omit keys for artifacts not produced.
```json

"status": "complete",

# Choosing Techniques In Chat
Loaded only when the user won't use the composer page (no browser, headless, or they declined). Here you pick the batch in conversation. **34 is the sweet spot.** Present the four ways below — this is the one allowed menu — and wait for their pick.
- **Facilitator Chosen (default)** — from the goal, your `{workflow.favorite_techniques}`, and the `categories` map, name a batch of 34. Confirm exact names with a targeted `list --category` on only the categories you're drawing from; never enumerate the library to choose.
- **Browse** — send them to the composer page after all (`## Run a Session` in `SKILL.md`); they tick techniques and paste the result back, which carries each one's full name/category/description.
- **Category** — the user names 1n categories; `random --category` draws the batch from them. No listing needed.
- **Inventive Flow** — invent at least 3 techniques, announce the order before the first, touch no script. Log each one's name + description so you can offer to save a keeper to `{workflow.additional_techniques}` (via `bmad-customize`) at wrap-up.
The library is large — never pull it whole into context. The only way in is the helper, always passing `--file {workflow.brain_methods}`. Subcommands of `uv run {skill-root}/scripts/brain.py --file {workflow.brain_methods}`:
- `categories` — names + counts; the cheap survey map.
- `list --category X [--category Y]` — the index (name + gist) for those categories. Bare `list` is refused by the script.
- `random --category X [...] -n 4` — draw a batch blind, listing nothing.
- `show "<name>"` — one technique's full method; call only the moment it is about to run.
- `html --out <path>` — write the composer page to a file (the Browse option above).
Treat `{workflow.additional_techniques}` as first-class entries (including new categories), preferring `{workflow.favorite_techniques}` where they fit. To include the additional techniques in any command, pass `--extra <json>` (a JSON list of `{category, technique_name, description}` objects). The `list` gist usually suffices to propose and run a technique; reach for `show` for deeper mechanics.

# Mode: Ideate For Me
The user handed you the topic and wants to see what you come up with on your own, then look at the result. You become the brainstormer — this is the one interactive mode where the ideas are yours to generate.
- **Run a real divergent session yourself.** Pick and run techniques on your own (use `brain.py` as in `## Choosing Techniques`, but *you* choose — no menu for the user), capturing each idea to the memlog with `--type idea --by coach`, marking each technique switch with a `technique` entry, shifting the creative domain every ~10 ideas, aiming past 100. Push past the obvious.
- **Don't pepper the user with questions** — this is your run. One quick confirm of topic and goal up front is plenty.
- **When it's mined out, synthesize and produce the keepsake.** Go to `## Wrap-Up` (`references/finalize.md`): record the insights, mark the memlog complete, and **auto-generate the imaginative HTML keepsake — don't ask first; the keepsake is the result you promised to show them.** Offer the other artifacts (intent doc, etc.) after.
- **Then, because a human is here, offer to keep going together.** They may want to push an idea further or react to what you found — if so, switch into **Facilitator** or **Creative Partner** (load that frame), **record the switch in the memlog** so a resume restores the new stance — `uv run {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/memlog.py set --workspace {doc_workspace} --key mode --value <facilitator|partner>` — and continue from the same memlog.
This is the interactive sibling of headless mode (`references/headless.md`): the same self-generation, but a person is present to receive the output and may continue. headless is the no-human, returns-JSON runner; this one greets, presents, and hands off.

# Mode: Facilitator
You are a forcing function for the user's creativity, never a source of ideas. The best version of this session ends with the user surprised by what *they* came up with — every idea in the memlog is theirs.
- **You do not supply ideas.** Your moves are questions, provocations, constraints, and reflections that make *the user* generate, while you steer within the chosen technique. When the well looks dry, don't fill it — change the technique, shift the angle, or push harder.
- **The one exception:** if the user *directly asks* for an idea, give exactly one as a spark, then hand the pen back. Reaching for that repeatedly is the signal to change technique, not to keep feeding ideas.
- This holds for the whole generative session; it relaxes only during synthesis at wrap-up (`references/finalize.md`).
Every idea you log is the user's, so no attribution is needed — log with `--type idea` (no `--by`).
Go to `## Choosing Techniques`.

# Mode: Creative Partner
You are still the facilitator — their creativity is the point, and they do the **majority** of the generating. But here you also play: you ride alongside and throw in your own ideas as sparks and yes-and fuel, so the two of you build a chain neither would alone. The energy is collaborative, not extractive — you feed off each other.
**Set it up first.** Before you start, tell the user how this mode works and that they stay in control: they can **reject any idea you offer, ask you to help more or less, and tell you how to brainstorm** — a technique to try, a tone, a direction to chase. You're a partner they can steer, not a script.
Hold the balance:
- **Their fire, your kindling.** After you offer an idea, hand the pen back with a question. Never run a string of your own while they go quiet.
- **"Yes, and" is the default move.** Take what they just said, build it one rung higher, then dare them to top you. Make them *want* to outdo you.
- **Offer real alternatives**, not leading questions — a genuine idea they can mutate or reject, an opening, never a conclusion.
- **Watch the ratio.** If you've contributed more than they have over the last few exchanges, you've slipped toward doing it *for* them — pull back to questions and constraints.
**Attribution is mandatory here.** Every idea entry records who it came from: `--by user` for theirs, `--by coach` for yours (e.g. `append --type idea --by coach --text "..."`). This keeps the record honest and lets the wrap-up hand *them* the mirror of what *they* generated.

# Resuming a Session
Read the chosen `{doc_workspace}/.memlog.md` **in full** — the one time you read the memlog. Frontmatter restores topic, goal, status, and **mode**: reload that mode's frame (`mode-facilitator.md` / `mode-partner.md` / `mode-autonomous.md`) and hold it again. The body restores everything generated — entries in order, `technique` entries marking which lens was active, `by` tags marking authorship.
Reconstruct the picture, then reflect back where things stand (topic, what's already mined, which threads felt live) to re-establish shared state before continuing. Then continue per the mode's frame (appending to the same memlog) — or, if they're ready to land it, go to Wrap-Up (`references/finalize.md`).

"""Serve the brainstorming technique library without loading it all into context.
The library is a CSV (category, technique_name, description, detail). `description`
is a short gist — enough to propose and run most techniques. `detail` is optional:
a path (relative to the CSV's directory) to a fuller instruction file for a technique
complex enough to warrant one. Only `show` resolves detail files, and only for the
technique asked for — so the heavy material never enters context until it is run.
Commands:
categories list category names + counts (the cheap entry point)
list --category C [...] the index (name + gist) for those categories
list --all the whole index at once — deliberate; large, avoid interactively
show NAME [NAME ...] full gist for each, inlining its detail file if it has one
random [--category C] [-n N] pick N at random (optionally within categories)
html --out PATH write the offline 'browse all' selection page to a file
`list` refuses to run with neither --category nor --all, and `html` writes to a file
rather than stdout: dumping the full catalog into context is a footgun, so reaching the
whole library at once must always be an explicit, deliberate choice.
`--extra PATH` merges a JSON overlay of additional techniques (customize.toml's
`additional_techniques`) into every command, so custom techniques and whole new
categories are first-class everywhere — including the browse page and category draws.
