Collaborative Brainstorming & Design

About

The Brainstorming skill transforms Claude into a sophisticated design partner that bridge the gap between vague ideas and executable code. By following a rigorous six-phase workflow—including autonomous codebase reconnaissance, multi-option architectural exploration, and incremental validation—this skill ensures that every technical decision is backed by logic and project context. It is designed to minimize technical debt by forcing 'design-first' thinking, resulting in high-quality documentation and implementation plans stored directly within your repository's workflow folder.

Key Features

• Socratic questioning framework to surface hidden requirements and gaps
• Automated design documentation and implementation plan handoff
• Comparative architecture exploration with detailed trade-off analysis
• Incremental design presentation for modular feedback and validation
• Autonomous repository reconnaissance to identify constraints without user input
• 3 GitHub stars

Use Cases

• Onboarding onto a new project by mapping out existing structures and proposing improvements
• Refactoring legacy systems where multiple implementation paths exist
• Designing complex new features that require architectural alignment before coding
