What makes /discuss different from normal AI chat?

Unlike standard chat, /discuss follows a rigorous Socratic framework designed to act as a devil's advocate, challenging your logic rather than just agreeing with your proposals.

What is the result of a discussion session?

The skill generates a structured summary of insights, identified risks, and open questions, which can be saved to an insights.md file for future reference.

Does this skill write code or generate PLAN.md files?

No, it is strictly a thinking tool. It avoids implementation and planning to focus entirely on problem definition and risk assessment.

Does /discuss support languages other than English?

Yes, it includes specific triggers and support for Korean language inputs, such as '같이 생각해보자' or '문제 정의'.

How do I include my existing codebase in the discussion?

Use the --deep flag when running /discuss to launch an exploration agent that gathers relevant architecture and pattern context from your files.

Productivity & Workflow

Facilitates deep Socratic dialogue to challenge technical assumptions and surface architectural blind spots before implementation begins.

The Discuss skill transforms Claude into a rigorous devil's advocate and thought partner, moving beyond simple code generation to deep problem validation. It employs a structured three-stage framework—Diagnose, Probe, and Synthesize—to help developers explore the 'why' and 'how' of their ideas. By applying Socratic questioning and optional codebase context via the --deep flag, it ensures that technical decisions are sound, risks are identified, and requirements are fully matured before any implementation planning or git operations occur.

Key Features
