When should I use the brainstorming skill?

Use it at the start of a project or feature development to refine rough ideas into structured designs before writing any code.

Can I use it for simple, mechanical tasks?

It is best suited for conceptual and creative development. Avoid using it for simple, mechanical processes where the steps are already obvious.

How does the skill help with architectural decisions?

It proposes 2-3 different approaches for every design, highlighting trade-offs and recommending a path based on project constraints.

How is the final design saved?

The skill automatically writes the validated design to a timestamped markdown file in your docs/plans directory and commits it to git.

Does this skill generate code immediately?

No, it focuses on the design and specification phase first to ensure the plan is solid, preventing wasted effort during implementation.

生産性とワークフロー

Refines rough ideas into fully-formed technical designs through structured collaborative questioning and incremental validation.

The Brainstorming skill transforms vague concepts into detailed technical specifications by engaging the user in a natural, conversational dialogue. It prioritizes clarity by asking one question at a time and proposing multiple architectural approaches with clear trade-offs. Once a direction is chosen, the skill generates the design in manageable sections to ensure continuous alignment, ultimately documenting the final plan and preparing the workspace for implementation. This is an essential tool for the pre-coding phase to ensure architecture is sound and 'YAGNI' (You Ain't Gonna Need It) principles are followed.
