Usage

In OpenCode:

2. Select “brainstorm”
3. Type your topic or problem

Or invoke directly:

@brainstorm I need ideas to improve user retention

Methodologies

6-3-5 (Brainwriting)

Idea generation technique in rounds:

• You generate 3 initial ideas
• Each round builds on previous ones
• No time limit
• Records decisions per round
• Continues until you want to stop

Best for: Generating many ideas quickly, exploring variations.

Rolestorming

Multiple perspectives technique:

• The agent adopts a role/persona
• Announces the role BEFORE each round
• Generates ideas from that perspective
• Changes role in each iteration
• Synthesizes all perspectives at the end

Typical roles: Novice user, expert, competitor, investor, critic, etc.

Best for: Seeing problems from unexpected angles, empathizing with users.
