General

What this skill does


# SCAMPER Creative Exploration

Apply all seven SCAMPER prompts to systematically explore creative possibilities for a product, service, process, or problem.

## Instructions

Work through each of the seven prompts, generating multiple ideas for each. Quantity matters—don't self-edit too early. Wild ideas often lead to practical innovations.

## Guidelines

- Quantity over quality during generation
- No idea is too wild—judge later
- Each prompt can generate multiple ideas
- Combining ideas from different letters often yields best results
