How does the brainstorming skill prevent over-engineering?

The skill ruthlessly applies the YAGNI (You Ain't Gonna Need It) principle, identifying and removing unnecessary features during the design phase to keep the implementation lean.

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

This sequential approach prevents information overload and ensures that every specific requirement or constraint is thoroughly explored and understood before moving to the next topic.

Where are the design documents saved?

Finalized designs are automatically saved to your repository under the 'docs/plans/' directory with a timestamped filename and committed to git for version control.

Does this skill write code automatically?

No, this skill focuses on the planning and design phase. It ensures the strategy is sound and documented before you transition to implementation tools.

Productivity & Workflow

Transforms raw ideas into structured technical specifications through iterative dialogue and architectural evaluation.

The Brainstorming skill bridges the gap between conceptual ideas and technical implementation by guiding developers through a collaborative discovery process. It prioritizes deep understanding of user intent by asking focused, sequential questions and evaluating multiple architectural approaches before settling on a solution. By enforcing incremental validation and the YAGNI principle, the skill ensures that designs are lean, well-documented, and fully aligned with project goals. It concludes by automatically generating timestamped design documents and preparing the workspace for a seamless transition to implementation.
