Produces a persona-tagged divergent idea list, ideas generated while inhabiting a chosen non-self identity to lower self-censorship and shift associations. Use when idea flow is throttled by self-consciousness or a fixated frame rather than missing knowledge, and you want more and stranger candidates before converging. Not evaluation through fixed lenses (that is parallel-perspectives) and not genuine challenge (that is authentic-dissent).
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
<!-- thinking-framework-skills | https://github.com/product-on-purpose/thinking-framework-skills | Apache-2.0 --> # Role-Storming Ordinary brainstorming stalls in two ways that have nothing to do with how much the room knows: people self-edit the odd idea because it would be theirs to own, and everyone stays trapped in the same default associations. Role-storming attacks both at once by changing WHO is generating. Instead of producing ideas as yourself, you adopt a specific assumed identity - "an eccentric inventor," "a curious ten-year-old," "a street artist," "a rival founder" - and generate the ideas you imagine that persona would offer. The durable cognitive move, stripped of the slogan, is: **generate divergent ideas while inhabiting a chosen non-self identity, using that identity as both an inhibition-lowering shield (the idea is the persona's, not yours - ownership distance) and a distancing lens (the persona's standpoint pulls you off your default associations - standpoint distance).** The artifact is a **persona-tagged idea list**: candidate ideas attributed to each adopted role, so the distancing is auditable and the pile is ready for a downstream convergence step.

How to install
mdr add product-on-purpose/thinking-framework-skills/think-role-storming@sha256:44873e1539bc26f4The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
