Brainstorming

6 decisions a prompt of this kind should make on purpose, and 6 things worth leaving out.

Asks that land here

brainstorm, ideas, ideate, name ideas, names for, come up with, generate, list of ideas, list of names, angles, ways to, suggestions, options, what should i call, help me think of, possibilities, concepts, themes, taglines, name for, workshop, naming

The moves
  1. +Context (what it's for)State one line: what the thing is, who it's for, and one distinctive trait.
  2. +QuantityGenerate 15-20 options (volume then selection).
  3. +Diversity / spread of directionsSpread across 3-4 distinct labeled directions (literal/descriptive, evocative, coined/playful, unexpected).
  4. +Constraints / must-avoidsState hard filters (length, tone, clichés to avoid, availability); else avoid the most overused clichés in the space.
  5. +Output shapeOne idea per line, grouped by direction, each with a ≤10-word note on the angle or feel.
  6. +Anchor / example of tasteAsk for one liked/disliked example; else offer a couple of contrasting reference points and name which you're aiming for.

Left out for this type: role ('world-class creative director'); 'be creative / think outside the box'; prose paragraphs instead of a scannable list; over-constraining before divergence (8 filters up front); asking for the single 'best' idea in one shot; deep paragraph rationale per idea
