Structured ideation methods: SCAMPER, Six Thinking Hats, Morphological Analysis, TRIZ, Biomimicry, plus more. Decision framework for picking methods by challenge type (stuck, improving, systematic exploration, contradiction). Use when generating research ideas or exploring interdisciplinary connections.

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

# Scientific Brainstorming

## Overview

Scientific brainstorming is a structured ideation process for generating, connecting, and evaluating research ideas. Unlike casual brainstorming, scientific brainstorming applies formal methodologies (SCAMPER, TRIZ, Morphological Analysis, etc.) matched to the specific creative challenge. The process moves through divergent exploration, connection-making, critical evaluation, and synthesis to produce actionable research directions with testable hypotheses.

## Key Concepts

### Core Principles

Five principles guide effective scientific brainstorming sessions:

1. **Collaborative**: Brainstorming works best as dialogue, not monologue. Build on each other's ideas rather than presenting finished thoughts. Use "Yes, and..." framing to extend ideas before evaluating them. In AI-assisted sessions, the scientist contributes domain expertise and the AI contributes breadth and pattern-matching across disciplines.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jaechang-hits/sciagent-skills/scientific-brainstorming@sha256:36e13532ca91bcef

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260428.81ea2d2, 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.
