# Brainstorm Divergence only: many one-line ideas from perspectives that cannot hear each other. The deliverable is the pool of options — *what* to do or build. Picking, planning, and feasibility belong to the conversation after, not to this skill. Independent generation is the point of the machinery: ideas produced in one shared context drift toward whatever came first (anchoring), so each perspective runs blind in its own subagent — the nominal-group structure that outperforms people (and models) riffing in one room. ## 1. Pin the topic Take the argument as the topic. Without one, use what the conversation is about. Only when both are empty, ask the user one question: what are we generating ideas for? The argument may carry free-text overrides alongside the topic — a count ("10 ideas", "50 ideas") resizes the batch; "surprise me" makes the whole roster wildcards. Honor them; otherwise defaults below apply. ## 2.
