Can this skill help me generate a research hypothesis?

Yes, it uses techniques like 'Assumption Reversal' and 'Scale Shifting' to help you look at your research from new angles and generate novel, testable hypotheses.

Is it useful for interdisciplinary research?

Absolutely. One of the core principles is 'Domain-Awareness,' which allows Claude to identify cross-pollination opportunities and relevant analogies from unrelated scientific fields.

How does the Scientific Brainstorming skill work?

The skill functions as a collaborative ideation partner that uses structured prompts to guide you through five phases: context understanding, divergent exploration, connection making, critical evaluation, and synthesis.

What brainstorming methods does this skill support?

The skill can incorporate various structured methodologies including SCAMPER, Six Thinking Hats, Morphological Analysis, TRIZ, and Biomimicry.
