How does this skill help prevent over-engineering?

It follows the YAGNI (You Ain't Gonna Need It) principle, focusing on building exactly what is required while explicitly identifying and removing unnecessary features during the design phase.

When should I use the Brainstorming skill?

Use it when you have a rough concept but aren't sure of the implementation details, or when multiple architectural approaches exist and you need to weigh the trade-offs before coding.

Can I use this for simple bug fixes?

It is recommended to skip this skill for clear, mechanical tasks or simple bug fixes where the solution is obvious; it is specifically optimized for complex planning and 'fuzzy' requirements.

What documentation does the skill generate?

Once a design is validated, the skill automatically writes a concise design document to your project's docs folder and commits it to your git repository for permanent tracking.

Transforms rough ideas into structured technical designs through iterative dialogue and architectural analysis.

Acerca de

The Brainstorming skill acts as a collaborative design partner within Claude Code, bridging the gap between initial ideation and implementation. It utilizes a structured framework to explore project context, compare multiple architectural approaches with clear trade-offs, and validate designs incrementally. By focusing on 'one question at a time' and adhering to the YAGNI principle, it helps developers clarify fuzzy requirements and document technical decisions in version-controlled design files before any code is written.
