Scientific Brainstorming skill: what it does and how to install it

What it does. Structures research ideation around a focal question, independent idea generation, provenance, explicit assumptions, transparent criteria, adversarial review and bounded literature checks. It preserves dissent and uncertainty, applies feasibility and ethics gates, and records decisions; optional local tools scaffold sessions, validate registers and calculate weighted matrices.

When to use it. For early-stage research brainstorming and prioritising candidate directions. It does not validate hypotheses, replace study design or statistical analysis, provide clinical advice, or grant ethics, regulatory, biosafety or other institutional approval.
