Why does it only ask one question at a time?

This incremental approach prevents information overload and ensures that every aspect of the project's requirements and constraints is fully understood and agreed upon before moving to the next step.

Where are the design plans stored?

The skill automatically writes validated designs to your project's docs/plans/ directory with a timestamped filename and commits them to your Git repository.

Does this skill generate actual code implementation?

No, this skill is specifically designed to handle the design and planning phase. It creates the blueprint and documentation, which can then be handed off to implementation skills like feature-dev.

Can I use this for any programming language?

Yes, the Brainstorming skill is language-agnostic and focuses on logic, architecture, data flow, and system design applicable to any software project.

Productivity & Workflow

Transforms raw ideas into structured technical designs and validated specifications through a collaborative, step-by-step dialogue.

The Brainstorming skill serves as a rigorous pre-implementation phase for software development, ensuring that features are well-conceived before a single line of code is written. It analyzes your current project context and engages in a structured dialogue—asking one question at a time—to refine requirements, explore alternative technical approaches, and evaluate trade-offs. By presenting designs in small, digestible increments for validation and automatically documenting the final plan to your repository, it eliminates architectural errors and ensures your development remains aligned with project goals.
