Agent skill fromgoogle/elephant-goldfish-model
Interactive ideation and brainstorming skill for the Elephant & Goldfish Model (EGM). Helps turn half-baked concepts into structured hypotheses via clarifying questions, review, and iterative refinement. Produces an RFC summary for human review or more detailed design with egm-draft.

1# EGM Brainstorm: Interactive Multi-Lens Ideation & Refinement23When running in Codex or ChatGPT Work, first read [Codex integration](../../docs/codex.md).4In Claude Code or Cowork, read `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/docs/claude.md` first.56## Overview78This skill acts as the upstream conversational brainstorming engine for the9Elephant-Goldfish Model (EGM). It turns "half-baked" or raw concepts into10hypotheses by combining **interactive clarifying questions** with an automated11**Goldfish review**. The outcome is an iteratively refined RFC summary12(`concepts_brief.md`) that leads directly into `/egm-draft` or review with13peers.1415## Delegation1617A Goldfish runs in a fresh context with no conversation history. Spawn each18subagent with your harness's subagent tool (Antigravity: `invoke_subagent`; Claude Code: `Agent`; Codex: `spawn_agent`). Each subagent is defined in `agents/<file>.md`, and its19frontmatter `name` (for example `egm-zoom-out`) is the subagent type to request20where your harness registers named subagents. Otherwise spawn a general-purpose21subagent and tell it to read that persona file first. Pass the prompt verbatim22and wait for the report. If your harness cannot nest subagents,23use direct dispatch instead of the synthesizer. See `docs/harnesses.md`.24If your harness has no subagent tool, stop and tell the user: a review in the same context is not a Goldfish review.2526## Execution Constraints (CRITICAL)27…
