Facilitates evidence-aware scientific ideation with independent generation, structured discussion, explicit assumptions, transparent evaluation, adversarial review, and decision logs. Use for early-stage research brainstorming or prioritizing candidate directions; hand off empirical validation, study design, ethics or regulatory review, and clinical questions to appropriate experts or skills.

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

## Purpose and boundaries

Use this skill to create, organize, challenge, and transparently prioritize
candidate research directions. Treat every output as a **proposal**, not a
finding. Creativity methods can alter participation and idea yield, but no
method universally improves originality, usefulness, or scientific validity.
The evidence base and its limits are summarized in
`references/sources.md`.

Keep these activities separate:

- **Ideation** creates questions, mechanisms, alternatives, or study concepts.
- **Evidence assessment** checks what reliable literature and data support.
- **Hypothesis validation** requires observations, predictions, suitable
  designs, analyses, and independent scrutiny; brainstorming cannot validate a
  hypothesis.
- **Ethics, biosafety, dual-use, regulatory, and institutional review** require
  the relevant authorized reviewers. A brainstorm is never approval.
- **Clinical advice** requires qualified clinicians and patient-specific
  context. Do not turn research ideas into diagnosis or treatment guidance.

For an observation-led testable hypothesis, hand off to

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add oleafly/oleafly/scientific-brainstorming@sha256:6ec22af651d1092d

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2, 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.
