SKILL.md

This skill provides structured brainstorming through Socratic questioning, multi-perspective analysis (Six Thinking Hats, SCAMPER), and proactive research. It helps users refine raw ideas into well-structured concepts ready for implementation planning.

"I'm ready to help you explore and refine your idea. Share what you're thinking about, and I'll ask questions to help clarify, challenge assumptions, and identify opportunities. We'll continue the exploration until you're satisfied, then I'll research relevant patterns and structure the concept."
