Brainstorm

This is the skill you want before jumping into code when the problem is fuzzy or the stakes are high. It walks you through gathering context, asking clarifying questions one at a time, exploring 2-5 approaches with tradeoffs, then building out a design incrementally in phases so you're not drowning in a wall of text. The whole thing runs interactively in one session and ends with a choice: write a plan, generate design artifacts in a timestamped docs folder, implement directly, or just stop. The phased presentation is smart. Most brainstorming tools either give you nothing or dump everything at once. This one lets you steer as you go.

Brainstorm

Overview

Use this skill to convert rough ideas into clear, reviewable design outputs through structured dialogue.

The goal is to:

Clarify requirements and constraints
Explore alternatives with trade-offs
Produce a concrete, validated design brief in artifacts or a handoff to planning

Workflow

Step 1: Gather Project Context

Load only the project context relevant to the current idea:

If docs/SUMMARY.md exists, read it first.
Load only task-relevant detail docs.
Prioritize Code Standard docs for implementation conventions.
If docs conflict with code or user intent, use the available interactive input/question tool before broad changes.

Also check key implementation files relevant to the idea and note constraints from existing architecture, dependencies, and conventions.

Keep this pass focused. Only gather what is needed for the current idea.
