Collaborative Brainstorming

Structured ideation using the Double Diamond model, grounded in persistent memory. Mined from 100+ real brainstorming sessions across production projects.

Core insight: AI excels at divergent phases (volume, cross-domain connections). Humans excel at convergent phases (judgment, selection). Separating the two, and using Sibyl to avoid re-exploring solved problems, is the shape that consistently produces useful brainstorms.

How to read this skill: the phases below describe the natural rhythm of a good brainstorm, not a procedure to march through. Skip phases that don't apply. Revisit earlier phases when new info changes the frame. Use judgment about when to compress, when to skip to action, and when divergent exploration is actually warranted.
