What is the YAGNI principle used in this skill?

YAGNI stands for 'You Aren't Gonna Need It.' The skill uses this to challenge complexity by questioning features or optimizations that aren't immediately necessary for the current problem.

Can I use this skill if I have a limited technical background?

Yes, the skill adapts its communication style to provide more context, explain technical implications, and use concrete examples for non-technical users.

How does this skill differ from standard chatting with Claude?

This skill uses a structured Understand-Explore-Validate methodology to ensure architectural decisions are rigorous, documented, and justified rather than just generating immediate code.

Does the brainstorming skill provide implementation code?

No, it specifically focuses on architectural design and rationale. Detailed implementation and configuration are reserved for subsequent sessions once the design is validated.

What are the output stages of a brainstorming session?

The session progresses through Understanding (clarifying constraints), Exploration (generating alternatives), and Validation (presenting the final architectural design in sections).

コラボレーションツール

Facilitates collaborative technical design through an adaptive, three-stage dialogue process for robust architectural decision-making.

概要

The Brainstorming skill transforms Claude into a collaborative design partner, guiding users through critical architectural decisions before implementation begins. It utilizes a systematic 'Understand-Explore-Validate' methodology to clarify requirements, analyze technical trade-offs, and establish a robust system structure. Whether you are a senior engineer seeking deep architectural debate or a stakeholder looking for guided options, this skill adapts its complexity to ensure every feature is justified by the YAGNI principle and aligned with existing project constraints.
