Who it is forA student or parent helping a child choose a science fair or class project topic with time to explore.

The problemA list of standard project ideas makes the choice a grading exercise instead of a curiosity exercise.

The outcomeA mind map with seeds, tendrils, and gut-check lines that suggest which angles hold real curiosity.

What you need first

  • Access to Claude with skills support
  • Either the wonder-pill.skill file from the Releases page or a local copy of the Wonder-Pill repository
  • A topic you want to explore, plus any constraints such as budget, deadline, or materials

Steps

  1. Download wonder-pill.skill from the Releases page and click Save skill in Claude.
  2. Type /wonderpill followed by the topic, for example /wonderpill fungi.
  3. Tell the intake questions you want pure wondering with no deadline and no build requirement.
  4. Click nodes on the mind map to read each gut-check line aloud.
  5. Pick one branch and ask the skill to run again on that branch alone.

Prompt for your agent

Using the Wonder Pill skill from ara-mkr/Wonder-Pill, run /wonderpill on <topic> with a loose leash and no deadline. Return the written wonderings for the most grounded branch. Verify that the output includes at least one gut-check line and does not pick a winner.

Caveat. The README warns that a deadline or a request to pick one will push the skill toward concrete output it is not designed to give, so keep the request open.
