Fine to try.

Expands the idea space beyond the first obvious directions, part of the Design Thinking Pack by 90n. Use this whenever the user says "run idea-expander", "give us more directions", "expand on these ideas", "we're stuck on three obvious solutions", or ideation happened (or is about to) and the pool needs more genuinely different options. Use it even for "everyone keeps suggesting the same app".

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'idea-expander' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'idea-expander' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named idea-expander already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/polar-bear-org/claude-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '95f01806ca43f6ee788d0579743e35853b695930' -- 'packs/design-thinking-pack/skills/idea-expander' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'packs/design-thinking-pack/skills/idea-expander' ~/.agents/skills/'idea-expander' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'idea-expander' ~/.claude/skills/'idea-expander' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
