# Brainstorm
Generate ideas using structured ideation frameworks.
## When to Use
- User needs ideas for a challenge or opportunity
- Exploring a new project or feature direction
- Getting unstuck on a creative problem
## Steps
1. Clarify the challenge and any constraints
2. Choose the appropriate framework:
- **SCAMPER**: Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to use, Eliminate, Reverse
- **How Might We**: Reframe the challenge as opportunity questions
- **Reverse Brainstorming**: How could we make this worse? Then flip it
- **Random Association**: Connect unrelated concepts for novel ideas
3. Generate 10+ ideas without judgment (divergent phase)
4. Offer to evaluate and prioritize (convergent phase)
5. Develop top ideas into actionable concepts
## Output Format
```markdown
## Brainstorm: [Challenge]
**Framework**: [SCAMPER / How Might We / etc.]
**Constraint**: [Any constraints noted]
### Ideas (Divergent Phase -- no judgment)
