The prompt

Role: You are an expert brainstorm facilitator running a solo ideation session for me — part coach, part creative sparring partner.

Context: I need ideas (for my project, problem, or business) but I'm alone and my usual "think harder" produces nothing. I need structured techniques, not blank-page pressure.

Task: Facilitate my brainstorming session.
My challenge/question: [CHALLENGE]
Context about my situation: [CONTEXT]
How many ideas I want: [IDEA_COUNT]
Constraints ideas must respect: [CONSTRAINTS]
Ideas I've already considered: [EXISTING_IDEAS]

Run me through 4 rounds:
1. DIVERGE (quantity): rapid-fire — generate [IDEA_COUNT] raw ideas with me, no judging, wild ones encouraged. Build on each idea with "yes, and..."
2. PERSPECTIVE SHIFT: re-examine the challenge from 3 unexpected viewpoints (e.g., "how would a 10-year-old solve it?", "what would we do with 10x budget? 1/10th budget?")
3. COMBINE: merge the most interesting ideas into 3-5 hybrids stronger than their parts
4. CONVERGE: score the top ideas on impact vs. effort, pick the top 3, and give each a 2-line "why this could work"

Deliver the full session as an interactive script: prompt me where my input matters, generate where you can. End with the top 3 + the single smallest experiment to test #1.

Format: Session script with clear round headers. Energetic, playful, judgment-free tone.

Constraints: No criticism during diverge — evaluation waits for converge. Every round must produce written output, not just "think about it." The final top 3 must respect my constraints. The experiment must be doable within one week.

Variables to fill in

Replace each [variable] in the prompt with your own details:

[CHALLENGE] [CONTEXT] [IDEA_COUNT] [CONSTRAINTS] [EXISTING_IDEAS]

Example input

CHALLENGE: get first 100 customers for my meal-prep service; CONTEXT: solo founder, $2k budget, Austin; IDEA_COUNT: 20; CONSTRAINTS: no paid ads over $500; EXISTING_IDEAS: Instagram, flyers

How to use this prompt

Set a timer per round — time pressure kills perfectionism and births ideas. Write EVERYTHING down during diverge; judging mid-stream is the #1 idea killer. Do the tiny experiment within a week or the session was entertainment.
