  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 1 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by MichaelRochonnn on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Brainstorming Workflow AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/MichaelRochonnn/mckinsey-bcg-consulting/tree/main/brainstorming-workflow
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/MichaelRochonnn/mckinsey-bcg-consulting.git /tmp/mckinsey-bcg-consulting
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/mckinsey-bcg-consulting/brainstorming-workflow .claude/skills/brainstorming-workflow
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Brainstorming Workflow in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Brainstorming Workflow on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Brainstorming Workflow is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

头脑风暴工作流程

使用时机

当面临以下情况时应用此技能:

  • 需要开展有效的团队头脑风暴
  • 已完成初步研究阶段
  • 需要生成创新观点
  • 需要验证假设
  • 团队需要共同分析问题

准备阶段:基础数据文件

收集整理研究材料

  • 将第二部分大纲研究阶段完成的所有研究发现集中整理
  • 确保材料完整性

创建基础数据文件(Fact Pack)

制作要求:

  • 制作关键点和关键数据的整齐摘要
  • 不需要有详细的结构
  • 考虑有哪些重要问题和怎样进行表述

团队领导者职责:

  • 必须确保每个团队成员都将其研究材料放进这个基础数据文件
  • 实现信息汇总

分发传阅

  • 将基础数据文件摘要在团队成员之间传阅与分享
  • 确保信息透明

建立共同认知基础

  • 确保团队每个成员都阅读了基础数据文件
  • 在生成观点的过程中拥有共同的事实基础
  • 避免信息不对称

准备原则:记住童子军的座右铭——"时刻准备着",确保至少你是知道事实的

执行阶段:假设策略选择

评估当前认知状态

路径A(数据熟悉派):

  • 确保自己熟悉问题和数据的梗概
  • 不要在讨论开始之前形成观点
  • 适用于希望保持完全开放性的场景

路径B(假设驱动派):

  • 从假设开始
  • 否则将浪费很多时间在四处寻找观点上
  • 适用于需要提高讨论效率的场景

作者建议:两派的观点都是正确的,取决于具体情境和个人思维习惯

团队领导者的特殊处理规则

决策:假如你是团队领导者,或许你更应该先有个假设(推荐采用假设驱动路径)

绝对禁止的呈现方式:

  • 不要冲进会议室说"这是答案"

正确的呈现态度:

  • 表达为"我认为事情或许是这样的。作为一个团队,让我们一起推敲这种假设吧。"
  • 将假设定位为待验证的推测,而非最终结论

灵活性原则

  • 假如你想不出假设,不要强行创造
  • 假如你能想出一个假设,这很好,可以作为讨论的起点

关键变量

  • 基础数据文件:包含研究发现、关键点和关键数据摘要的共享文件
  • 关键点:研究中发现的核心问题、核心观点
  • 关键数据:支撑关键点的具体数值、事实和证据
  • 假设:对问题解决方案的初步推测或假说,需经团队验证
  • 数据梗概:对基础数据文件中问题框架和事实概况的熟悉程度

输出成果

团队所有成员对事实基础达成共识,以测试性假设或开放探索方式启动头脑风暴,确保团队以协作验证而非接受指令的心态参与讨论。

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Brainstorming Workflow AI skill do?

Why use Brainstorming Workflow on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Brainstorming Workflow is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Brainstorming Workflow in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/MichaelRochonnn/mckinsey-bcg-consulting/tree/main/brainstorming-workflow. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Brainstorming Workflow?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Brainstorming Workflow?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Brainstorming Workflow with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Brainstorming Workflow AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by MichaelRochonnn. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
