Use when a creative task has no direction yet: finding inspiration, exploring looks or styles, proposing concept directions to pick between, building a moodboard or reference board, doing visual research, mining existing assets for a style, or escaping generic AI-looking output. Also when a saved Scenario collection should drive a new batch as art direction. Keywords: inspiration, moodboard, references, art direction, style exploration, concepts, serendipity, ideation, surprise me.
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
# Scenario Inspiration ## Overview Asked for inspiration, an agent averages. It returns the most typical answer for the brief, so every user with a similar brief gets the same look. This skill trades that for four phases: **prime**, **widen**, **choose**, **board**. Connection and scope: see the `scenario` skill in this repo. If a sibling skill named here is missing from your available skills, ask the user to install it (`npx skills add scenario-labs/skills --skill <name>`); unattended, proceed from tool schemas and flag the gap. Four moves carry most of the value. Name the reflex answer for this brief and the answer of someone merely avoiding that reflex, then rule out both, because an agent told to be original lands on the second-obvious answer. Randomize the operator, never the subject: what varies is the transformation applied to the brief, and a random subject is just noise. When you generate candidates yourself instead of searching for them, ask yourself for a distribution rather than an answer, and work from its tail. Then make the user pick, because options that never resolve are a gallery, not direction. ## Quick reference …

How to install
mdr add scenario-labs/skills/scenario-inspiration@sha256:42183f6a06e12ecfThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.5d223d9, 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.
