1---2name: generate-creative-ideas3description: Creative problem-solving and ideation using SCAMPER, First Principles, Random Word, and AI-optimized techniques. Use when generating ideas, breaking creative blocks, brainstorming alternatives, or innovating.4---56# Creativity Skill78## Workflow9101. **Ask** → "What problem/challenge?"112. **Understand Context** → Ask about current practice/situation BEFORE suggesting12 - "What do you currently do?"13 - "What have you tried?"14 - "What's working? What's not?"15 - **NEVER suggest improvements without understanding current state**163. **Diagnose** → Match situation to technique(s)174. **Guide** → Walk through technique step-by-step185. **Output** → Structured ideas + next actions (Thai if user uses Thai)1920> ⚠️ **Anti-pattern:** Jumping to solutions without understanding context = generic noise, not useful ideas2122## Situation → Technique Matrix2324| Situation | Techniques |25|-----------|------------|26| Stuck / No ideas | Random Word, Forced Connections, Oblique Strategies |27| Need breakthrough | First Principles, Challenging Assumptions, Combinatorial Engine |28| Improve existing | SCAMPER, Reverse Brainstorming, TRIZ-AI |29| Explore systematically | Morphological Box, Six Thinking Hats, Constraint Injection |30| Reframe problem | How Might We (HMW), Jobs to be Done |31| Team ideation | 6-3-5 Brainwriting, Multi-Persona Parallel |32| Too many ideas | Impact/Effort Matrix, Idea Clustering |33| AI ideas too similar | Divergence Guard, Constraint Injection, Incubation Cycling |34| Technical/engineering | TRIZ-AI, First Principles |35| Cross-domain innovation | Combinatorial Engine, Analogical Thinking |3637## Technique Quick Reference3839| Technique | One-liner |40|-----------|-----------|41| **SCAMPER** | 7 lenses: Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to other use, Eliminate, Reverse |42| **Random Word** | Random noun → list attributes → force connections to problem |43| **Reverse Brainstorm** | "How to make it worse?" → Invert each idea |44| **First Principles** | Strip to fundamentals → Rebuild from scratch |45| **Six Hats** | 6 perspectives: Facts, Feelings, Risks, Benefits, Ideas, Process |46| **HMW** | Reframe as "How Might We [verb] for [user] so that [outcome]?" |47| **Morphological Box** | Parameters × Variations matrix → Combine systematically |48| **Analogies** | "How does [other domain] solve this?" |49| **Assumptions** | List assumptions → Challenge/invert each |50| **Forced Connections** | Combine 2 unrelated concepts |51| **Jobs to be Done** | "When [situation], I want [motivation], so I can [outcome]" |52| **Oblique Strategies** | Random creative prompts to break deadlocks |5354### AI-Optimized Techniques5556| Technique | One-liner |57|-----------|-----------|58| **Incubation Cycling** | Generate → Pause → Fresh restart (no prior context) → Compare |59| **Combinatorial Engine** | Abstract → Retrieve 3 domains → Generalize → Combine → Instantiate |60| **Multi-Persona Parallel** | Run 4+ personas SIMULTANEOUSLY (not sequentially) |61| **Constraint Injection** | Add random constraint (budget/time/anti-feature) → Force novel solutions |62| **Divergence Guard** | Force opposite → Domain shift → Absurdity injection |63| **TRIZ-AI** | Apply inventive principles (segmentation, nesting, dynamization, etc.) |6465### Convergent (Refine)6667| Technique | One-liner |68|-----------|-----------|69| **Impact/Effort** | 2×2 matrix: High Impact + Low Effort = Quick Wins |70| **Idea Clustering** | Group similar → Name clusters → Pick best from each |7172## References7374- **Step-by-step guides**: [techniques.md](references/techniques.md)75- **AI methodology & research**: [methodology.md](references/methodology.md)76- **Random word bank**: [random-words.md](references/random-words.md)7778## Related Skills (Optional)7980| When | Suggest |81|------|---------|82| Technical contradiction / trade-off | `/triz` - systematic innovation |83| Need structured problem-solving | `/problem-solving` - Polya, 5 Whys |84| Business strategy context | `/manage-business-strategy` - SWOT, Porter's |85| Design new business model | `/design-business-model` - BMC, Lean Canvas |86| Need current facts/research | `/deep-research` - comprehensive research |8788**Note:** These skills are optional. Generate-creative-ideas works standalone for ideation.
