Generates ideas the way silent parallel brainwriting does, producing several independent idea streams that build on each other without anchoring on the first voice, then consolidates them into a shortlisted idea pool. Use when you need breadth of options and want to avoid the anchoring and conformity that make ordinary brainstorming underperform.
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 --> # Brainwriting Verbal group brainstorming reliably underperforms: only one person talks at a time (production blocking), and the room anchors on the first speaker. Brainwriting removes those losses by generating ideas silently and in parallel, then building on each other's written ideas. This skill adapts that for solo-plus-AI: produce several genuinely independent idea streams (distinct angles, generated without contaminating each other), then run a build-on round and consolidate into a shortlist. The output is an **idea pool**. The key is keeping the streams independent first; collapsing into one stream throws away the mechanism that does the work. ## When to Use - You need breadth of options and want to avoid premature convergence. - Anchoring or conformity would otherwise narrow the ideas (a single brainstorm). - Early divergent generation, before any selection. ## When NOT to Use - When you need to converge, rank, or decide (use a decision skill). - When deep single-expert reasoning beats breadth. …

How to install
mdr add product-on-purpose/thinking-framework-skills/think-brainwriting@sha256:31a1d7e8887b2fc6The 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.
