Generate Then Execute

Separate raw idea-generation from judgment so creativity isn't strangled by your inner critic — diverge with zero evaluation, then switch to hard critique. Use when asked to brainstorm properly, help me come up with ideas without shutting them down, I keep censoring my own ideas, or separate creating from editing. Produces a pure generation pass (quantity, no judging, no hedging, wild allowed), a clean break, then a separate ruthless critique pass that scores and prunes — because doing both at once produces neither.

From the source SKILL.md

Trying to create and judge at the same time is why people stare at blank pages — every idea gets killed before it's finished. This enforces the split the best thinkers use: first a pure divergent pass where evaluation is banned and volume/weirdness is the goal, then a clean switch to a ruthless critic that scores, prunes, and keeps only what's strong. Two modes, never mixed.

What this skill does

Generate Then Execute is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/generate-then-execute/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when asked to brainstorm properly, help me come up with ideas without shutting them down, I keep censoring my own ideas, or separate creating from editing.
