danium/lateral-thinkingSkill

SCAMPER (Bob Eberle) — run one existing idea, product, or process through seven systematic transformations - Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify/Magnify, Put to other use, Eliminate, Reverse/Rearrange. Use when there is already one working idea and the need is disciplined variations of it, e.g. "give me variations", "riff on this", "scamper", "what can we substitute or combine", "remix this feature". Do NOT use for analytical work like debugging, code review, or implementation tasks, and not for blank-page ideation (needs an existing idea as input).

This repo hosts 10 skills, so its 326 stars are split between them (about 33 each) for scoring.

Popularity score: 58/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank

Security

Scanned Oct 20, 2026 at commit bde713dcbb9b, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.

None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.

A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
