Guides structured research ideation, including incremental extensions of existing work, combinations, and new directions. Use when developing a half-formed idea, exploring a problem space, or seeking a better approach to a current bottleneck.
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
# Research Idea Brainstorming Structured frameworks for discovering the next research idea. This skill provides ten complementary ideation lenses that help researchers move from vague curiosity to concrete, defensible research proposals. Each framework targets a different cognitive mode—use them individually or combine them for comprehensive exploration. An incremental extension of existing work is a valid starting point. Select the route that serves the user's goal and current bottleneck; use evidence and development results to decide whether to refine it, combine it, or change approach. ## When to Use This Skill - Starting a new research direction and need structured exploration - Feeling stuck on a current project and want fresh angles - Evaluating whether a half-formed idea has real potential - Preparing for a brainstorming session with collaborators - Transitioning between research areas and seeking high-leverage entry points - Reviewing a field and looking for underexplored gaps **Do NOT use this skill when**: - You already have a well-defined research question and need execution guidance …

How to install
mdr add yichen-zju/claude-for-research/brainstorming-research-ideas@sha256:75c88b9989d047d0The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
