Generates genuinely novel ideas through five orthogonal forcing functions, adversarial novelty killing, and a structured mutation loop. The core insight: LLMs produce obvious ideas because they interpolate over existing content. This skill forces extrapolation by constraining the generation process structurally — each idea must derive from a specific mechanism, not free association.
Deep Idea is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the science-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/deep-idea/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when generating novel ideas, breakthroughs, concepts, product ideas, research directions, startup ideas, or creative angles in any domain that aren't already obvious. Trigger phrases include "give me ideas for", "novel ideas", "creative ideas", "brainstorm non-obvious ideas", "breakthrough ideas", "product concepts", "research directions", "startup ideas", "idea generation", "think outside the box on", "original ideas", "non-obvious ideas", "what could we build in", "fresh angles on".
The Deep Idea Claude Code skill is built for researchers, data scientists, academics, and analysts working with complex data and scientific literature. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 70,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
