Does it produce any permanent documentation?

Yes. Once a design is validated, the skill writes a final document in Markdown format including the understanding summary, explicit assumptions, and a full decision log.

What is an 'Understanding Lock'?

The Understanding Lock is a mandatory pause where the AI provides a concise summary of your requirements, assumptions, and constraints. It requires your explicit confirmation before the skill will proceed to proposing designs.

Why does the skill only ask one question at a time?

This incremental approach prevents miscommunication and ensures that every specific detail of the project is accurately captured and verified without the user feeling overwhelmed.

Can I use this skill to write code directly?

No, this skill is strictly for the design and planning phase. Implementation and code modification are disabled while it is active to ensure the design is fully validated and documented first.

When is the best time to use the Brainstorming skill?

It should be used at the start of any creative or constructive work, such as new features, architectural changes, or component behavior modifications, to prevent technical debt and misalignment.

生産性とワークフロー

Facilitates a disciplined, incremental reasoning process to transform raw ideas into validated technical designs before implementation begins.

The Brainstorming skill acts as a senior design reviewer and facilitator, preventing premature implementation and misaligned solutions. It guides users through a rigorous multi-step process—from context gathering and requirement clarification to design exploration and final documentation—ensuring every project starts with a clear, shared vision. By enforcing a 'hard gate' on understanding and maintaining a continuous decision log, it eliminates hidden assumptions and ensures non-functional requirements like performance, scale, and security are addressed well before the first line of code is written.
