worst-idea
Worst Possible Idea (reverse brainstorming) — deliberately design the most terrible solutions to the problem, name the mechanism that makes each one bad, then invert those mechanisms into strong features. Use when ideas all feel timid and safe, when the team is optimizing instead of imagining, or for "worst idea", "reverse brainstorming", "what would make this worse", "design the disaster", "how would we guarantee failure". Do NOT use for analytical work like debugging, code review, or implementation tasks.
Why this score
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
