Where are the resulting design documents stored?

The skill automatically writes validated designs to the docs/plans/ directory with a timestamped filename and commits them to your git repository.

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

This focused approach ensures that every requirement is thoroughly explored and understood without overwhelming the user or losing track of specific constraints.

Does it provide implementation support?

Yes, once a design is finalized, the skill can transition into creating implementation plans and setting up isolated git worktrees for development.

How does it help choose between different technical solutions?

The skill proposes 2-3 different approaches for every design, explaining the trade-offs and providing a reasoned recommendation based on your project context.

How does this skill prevent feature creep?

It applies YAGNI (You Ain't Gonna Need It) principles ruthlessly throughout the brainstorming process, helping you focus only on the functionality essential for success.

Productivity & Workflow

Transforms vague project ideas into structured technical designs through iterative questioning and comparative approach analysis.

This skill facilitates the critical transition from initial concept to technical specification by engaging in a collaborative, step-by-step dialogue. It prevents over-engineering by applying YAGNI principles, explores multiple architectural approaches with trade-offs, and validates designs incrementally in small sections to ensure perfect alignment with user intent. By the end of the process, it automatically generates and commits detailed Markdown documentation to your repository, setting a solid foundation for implementation.
