Structured idea generation + multi-LLM debate for the product-owner stage. Diverge (generate genuinely different bets), debate (a 4-persona panel on 4 models argues over 2 rounds), converge (synthesize a recommendation). Used by product-owner before architect; available to architect for design-space exploration.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# brainstorming Idea work has three movements: **diverge → debate → converge**. Most teams skip the middle one and converge on the first plausible idea. The debate panel is the point of this skill. ## 1. Diverge — generate genuinely different bets From a *framed problem* (who · cost-of-pain · why-now · success metric), produce **3–5 distinct approaches** — different bets, not cosmetic variants. Force diversity along at least one axis each: - **different user** (who you serve first) - **different wedge** (the one feature you lead with) - **different scope** (concierge/manual vs full self-serve) - **different business shape** (tool you sell vs outcome you deliver) For each: *the core bet · the smallest version that tests it · the main risk.* Reject near-duplicates — if two options share the same bet, drop one and push for a more contrarian alternative. ## 2. Debate — the idea-debate panel Four personas, **four different models**, two rounds. Model diversity matters: different model families fail differently, so they catch different holes. | Persona | Stance — argues… | Model | Invocation | |---|---|---|---| …

How to install
mdr add avelikiy/great_cto/brainstorming@sha256:15a8f6b0432c8e52The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260905.acbbd88, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
