Dev Brainstorm

About

Dev Brainstorm is the critical first phase of the /dev workflow, designed to prevent costly implementation errors by enforcing a 'questions-first' philosophy. It utilizes Socratic inquiry to refine vague ideas into clear requirements, success criteria, and a mandatory automated testing strategy. By prohibiting premature code exploration, it ensures developers fully understand the 'What' and 'Why' of a project, resulting in a comprehensive SPEC.md file that guides the subsequent exploration and design phases.

Key Features

• Automated generation of standardized .claude/SPEC.md files
• Strict enforcement of requirement gathering before code exploration
• Measurable success criteria mapping for every requirement
• Socratic questioning framework to uncover hidden requirements
• 0 GitHub stars
• Mandatory testing strategy definition and framework selection

Use Cases

• Refining ambiguous feature requests into technical specifications
• Preventing design bias by separating requirement gathering from codebase analysis
• Establishing a Test-Driven Development (TDD) plan for new features
