What create-ideas does

create-ideas changes the shape of a single answer. Instead of one reply, the agent returns a list of six items, each with text and a numeric probability. The first three aim high, above 0.80. The last three deliberately wander: each stays under 0.10 so you see genuinely different directions rather than restatements of the same one.

The skill is a single SKILL.md file holding the instruction. No scripts, no external services — the whole thing rides on prompt wording. The instruction also warns against overlapping answers, so if two of the six read alike, that is a signal to rephrase your request.

Worth installing where you want a spread of options early: naming, architecture forks, copy drafts. On tasks with one correct answer — fixing a specific failing test, say — the format gets in the way, because you still get six lines instead of the fix.

What it helps with

  • brainstorm names for a new project
  • lay out an architecture fork as several paths
  • draft copy in different tones
  • pick an approach when the obvious one feels wrong
  • widen a list of hypotheses before a discussion

Example prompts for the agent

  • Generate ideas for a CLI tool name in Rust
  • Give me six options for the auth module structure
  • Suggest ideas for rewriting this README
