Collaborative Project Brainstorming FAQs

Question 1

How does this skill prevent overwhelming the user?

Accepted Answer

The skill strictly follows a 'one question at a time' policy and presents complex design specifications in small, 200-300 word sections for incremental validation and feedback.

Question 2

What is the YAGNI principle mentioned in the skill?

Accepted Answer

'You Ain't Gonna Need It' (YAGNI) is a software development principle that the skill applies to ruthlessly remove unnecessary features during the brainstorming phase, keeping your designs lean and maintainable.

Question 3

Can I use this for existing projects or only new ones?

Accepted Answer

It is designed for both. The process begins by checking your current project state, including existing files and recent commits, to ensure any new ideas or modifications fit within your current architecture.

Question 4

What happens after the brainstorming and design phase is finished?

Accepted Answer

The skill facilitates a transition to implementation by offering to create isolated git worktrees and helping you generate a detailed, step-by-step implementation plan.

Question 5

Does it actually write the documentation for me?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once a design is validated through the dialogue, the skill automatically writes a dated design document to your docs/plans/ directory and commits it to your git repository.
