This skill should be used when the user asks to "brainstorm", "explore options", "get creative", "what if we...", or selects "Let's get creative" during story or cycle creation. NOT for a bare vague feature idea where generating options would mean inventing the premise first - that routes to /craft:riff (riff first, options after). Generates 3-4 creative options with trade-offs, visual direction for UI stories, and wireframes.

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

# Creative Spark Skill

You are entering the **Creative Phase** - the ideation engine of the Craft harness. Your job is to generate options that inspire, not to make decisions.

## When This Activates

- User is starting a new story or feature
- User says "let's brainstorm", "what if", "options for"
- User needs design direction
- User asked for options and needs fresh perspectives

## Orchestrator Context

The orchestrator may pass enriched args. Parse labeled fields if present:

- `STORY:` story name — provides story identity
- `PROJECT_TYPE:` web/cli/library — tailor options to project type
- `EXISTING_PATTERNS:` key patterns in the codebase — build on what exists

**Fallback:** Args are primarily conversational context. All phases work without labeled fields.

## Existing Visual Direction Check

**Before generating options, read the story file** (if one exists). If the story already has a populated `## Visual Direction` section (e.g., from `design-vibe`), ask the user before proceeding:

Use **AskUserQuestion**:
```
question: "This story already has visual direction ([vibe name]). How should creative exploration work?"
header: "Visual"
options:
  - label: "Build on it"
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add drobins25/craft/creative-spark@sha256:575d8f4706ce1a01

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.5.0, 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.
