# EGM Brainstorm: Interactive Multi-Lens Ideation & Refinement

When running in Codex or ChatGPT Work, first read [Codex integration](../../docs/codex.md).

## Overview

This skill acts as the upstream conversational brainstorming engine for the
Elephant-Goldfish Model (EGM). It turns "half-baked" or raw concepts into
hypotheses by combining **interactive clarifying questions** with an automated
**Goldfish review**. The outcome is an iteratively refined RFC summary
(`concepts_brief.md`) that leads directly into `/egm-draft` or review with
peers.
