-# Brainstorming
+# Brainstorming Ideas
 
-Master the art of **creative ideation** through structured divergent thinking and systematic exploration. This skill enables effective idea generation, option exploration, and collaborative innovation for solving complex problems.
+## Quick Start
 
-## Purpose
-
-Transform unstructured thinking into productive creative sessions:
-
-- Generate diverse solution options systematically
-- Explore problem spaces thoroughly before converging
-- Combine individual creativity with team intelligence
-- Evaluate ideas objectively using structured frameworks
-- Avoid premature judgment that kills innovation
-- Build on ideas to create novel combinations
-- Document and prioritize outcomes effectively
+1. **Diverge** (20 min) - Generate 20+ ideas with no judgment
+2. **Explore** (10 min) - Combine, connect, flesh out themes
+3. **Converge** (15 min) - Evaluate against criteria, prioritize
+4. **Select** - Pick top 3 with clear rationale
+5. **Document** - Capture all ideas and decisions for future reference
 
 ## Features
 
-### 1. Divergent-Convergent Process
-
-```markdown
-## Phase 1: DIVERGE (Generate Many Ideas)
-═══════════════════════════════════════
-
-### Rules for Divergent Phase
-1. **Quantity over quality** - Aim for 20+ ideas minimum
-2. **No judgment** - All ideas valid, no criticism
-3. **Wild ideas welcome** - Extreme ideas spark creativity
-4. **Build on others** - "Yes, and..." approach
-5. **One conversation** - Focus, no side discussions

-## Phase 2: EXPLORE (Develop Ideas)
-═══════════════════════════════════
-
-### Exploration Activities
-- Combine similar ideas into themes
-- Identify patterns and connections
-- Ask clarifying questions
-- Flesh out promising concepts
-- Find unexpected combinations
+| Feature | Description | Guide |
+|---------|-------------|-------|
+| Divergent Phase | Generate many options | Quantity over quality, no judgment |
+| SCAMPER | Systematic modification | Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to use, Eliminate, Reverse |
+| Mind Mapping | Visual connections | Central topic with branching ideas |
+| Reverse Brainstorm | Learn from failure | "How to guarantee failure?" -> prevention |
+| Role Storming | Different perspectives | Junior dev, security expert, user personas |
+| Starbursting | Question-based | Who, What, When, Where, Why, How |
 
-### Questions to Explore
-- What makes this idea unique?
-- What would need to be true for this to work?
-- How might we improve this further?
-- What other ideas does this suggest?
+## Common Patterns
 
-## Phase 3: CONVERGE (Evaluate & Prioritize)
-═══════════════════════════════════════════
-
-### Convergent Criteria
-Evaluate ideas against:
-- Feasibility: Can we do this?
-- Impact: How much value does it create?
-- Alignment: Does it fit our goals?
-- Novelty: How differentiated is it?
-- Risk: What could go wrong?
-
-### Prioritization Matrix
-| Idea | Impact | Effort | Score | Priority |
-|------|--------|--------|-------|----------|
-| A    | High   | Low    | 9     | 1st      |
-| B    | High   | High   | 6     | 3rd      |
-| C    | Medium | Low    | 7     | 2nd      |
 ```

-### 2. SCAMPER Framework
-
-```markdown
-## SCAMPER: Systematic Idea Modification
-
-For any existing solution or concept, apply these 7 lenses:
-
-### S - Substitute
-What can we substitute?
-- Materials → Different tech stack?
-- People → Different team structure?
-- Process → Different workflow?
-- Place → Different deployment?
-
-Examples:
-- Substitute SQL with NoSQL
-- Substitute monolith with microservices
-- Substitute sync with async
-
-### C - Combine
-What can we combine?
-- Features → Merge functionalities?
-- Ideas → Hybrid approaches?
-- Resources → Shared infrastructure?
-
-Examples:
-- Combine search and recommendations
-- Combine auth and analytics
-- Combine monitoring and alerting
-
-### A - Adapt
-What can we adapt from elsewhere?
-- Other industries?
-- Other products?
-- Nature/biology?
-- Historical solutions?
-
-Examples:
-- Adapt Netflix's chaos engineering
-- Adapt Amazon's two-pizza teams
-- Adapt circuit breaker from electrical
-
-### M - Modify/Magnify
-What can we modify, magnify, or minimize?
-- Make bigger/smaller?
-- Faster/slower?
-- More/less frequent?
-- Stronger/weaker?
-
-Examples:
-- Magnify caching layer
-- Minimize API surface
-- Increase batch size
-
-### P - Put to Other Uses
-What else could this be used for?
-- Different users?
-- Different problems?
-- Different contexts?
-
-Examples:
-- Use logging for debugging AND analytics
-- Use auth tokens for rate limiting
-- Use CI for documentation builds
-
-### E - Eliminate
-What can we eliminate?
-- Remove features?
-- Simplify process?
-- Reduce dependencies?
-
-Examples:
-- Eliminate manual deployments
-- Remove deprecated endpoints
-- Simplify configuration
-
-### R - Reverse/Rearrange
-What can we reverse or rearrange?
-- Opposite approach?
-- Different order?
-- Different structure?
-
-Examples:
-- Pull instead of push
-- Client-first instead of server-first
-- Event-driven instead of request-driven
+# Divergent Phase Rules
+1. Quantity over quality - aim for 20+ ideas

-### 4. Reverse Brainstorming
-
-```markdown
-## Reverse Brainstorming: Learn from Failure
-
-Instead of "How do we succeed?", ask "How do we guarantee failure?"
-
-### Process
-1. State the goal
-2. Reverse: "How to guarantee we FAIL at this goal?"
-3. Generate failure ideas freely
-4. Reverse each failure into prevention
-
-### Example: How to Build Unreliable API
-
-**Goal:** Build a reliable API
-**Reversed:** How to make the MOST unreliable API?
+# Reverse Brainstorm
+Goal: Build reliable API
+Reversed: How to make MOST unreliable API?
 
 | Failure Idea | Prevention Strategy |
 |--------------|---------------------|
 | No error handling | Comprehensive try/catch |
 | Single point of failure | Redundancy, load balancing |
 | No monitoring | Prometheus + Grafana |
-| Ignore timeouts | Circuit breakers |
-| No rate limiting | Token bucket algorithm |
 | Deploy on Fridays | Change freeze policies |
-| No testing | 80%+ test coverage |
-| Hardcode secrets | Environment variables |
-| No documentation | OpenAPI specs |
-| Ignore logs | Structured logging |
-
-### Template
-```yaml
-reverse_brainstorm:
-  goal: "[What we want to achieve]"
-  reversed_question: "How to guarantee we fail at [goal]?"
