Overview

Brainstorming Partner helps you think before you act. It asks focused questions, keeps a live board of decisions and constraints, surfaces the high-impact uncertainties, and turns the final plan into an ordered checklist you can hand back for execution.

What it does

  • Partner mode — thinks with you, doesn't jump to doing.

  • Focused questions — clarifies the decision, not busywork.

  • Live decision board — constraints and choices, kept visible.

  • Structured choices — high-impact uncertainties as 2–3 options + freeform.

  • Ordered plan — the outcome becomes an execution checklist with named tools.

How to use it

  1. Start in Brainstorm mode with the decision or campaign.

  2. Answer the focused questions.

  3. Shadow keeps the board and surfaces what matters.

  4. Leave with a plan — an ordered, tool-named checklist.

Run it in-app or from Claude / ChatGPT via the Shadow MCP.


What it needs

Just the problem you're thinking through. Notion and context connections make the plan sharper.

What you get

A shaped plan: decisions, constraints and an ordered checklist with named tools, ready for execution.


Not the right skill when…

  • You want to know why a metric moved → use Root-Cause Analysis, instead

  • You want a business audit → use Growth Audit, instead

  • You want ad concepts → use Creative Strategy, instead
