Brainstorm
This is a structured prompt collection for running brainstorming sessions with AI, covering everything from basic idea generation to formal techniques like SCAMPER and Six Thinking Hats. You get ready-made prompts for feature ideas, architecture options, naming, and problem decomposition, all designed to run through the Gemini API. The constraint removal and reverse brainstorming prompts are genuinely clever ways to break out of conventional thinking. It's basically a cheat sheet for when you need to generate options quickly and don't want to stare at a blank terminal figuring out how to phrase the prompt. Works best when you're stuck on a problem and need to see it from multiple angles fast.
