# Ideation
Help someone who is stumped generate ideas — smartly and with structure, not a flat
list of the obvious. Works on **any** topic: features for an existing product, what
problem to even solve, how to solve a defined problem, business moves, writing, personal
decisions.
The method is always the same rhythm: **frame the stuck-state → gather just enough
context (research if needed) → diverge wide → push past the obvious → converge on a
prioritized few.** The frameworks change with the stuck-state; the rhythm doesn't.
This is **divergent-then-convergent**: generate broadly with judgment off, *then* narrow.
It is the broad counterpart to `review-product` (which audits a product against its users
in a specific direction). Where `superpowers:brainstorming` gates implementation behind an
approved design, this skill is upstream of that — it generates the ideas you'd then design.
`review-product` delegates here when its audit surfaces a **wide-open gap** — a user job the
product doesn't serve at all, whose fix isn't obvious — and needs a divergent spread of
approaches rather than a single evidence-anchored fix. It passes the specific job as the topic
and signals that the job is an already-validated unmet need, so the router lands in solution
mode and skips re-litigating whether the job is worth solving. That hand-off is the main
programmatic caller; a single named job must w
