Takes a vague feature idea and walks you through a structured dialogue to figure out what you're actually building. Asks one question at a time (usually multiple choice to keep things moving), pushes back on scope creep, and helps you separate product decisions from implementation details. The end result is a right-sized requirements doc that planning workflows can actually use. Good for when someone says "we should add AI to this" or "users want better search" and you need to turn that into something concrete. It won't write code, but it will save you from building the wrong thing or over-engineering something that should take an afternoon.

Brainstorm a Feature or Improvement

Brainstorming answers WHAT to build through dialogue; ce-plan then enriches the same unified plan artifact with HOW. This skill does not implement code.

Outcome: a result sized to the work that ce-plan can build on without inventing product behavior, scope boundaries, or success criteria: a chat paragraph for Lightweight work, or a requirements-only unified plan under <root>/plans/ when a file is earned.

Done, on the brainstorm path: that artifact is written and passes the Ready for Planning Check — or no file was written because the dialogue produced no decision that a later reader (the planner, a reviewer, or a future reader) needs recorded under a stable ID and the user asked for none — and Phase 4's handoff has been presented.
